Emerging Chazi: No. 2

 

(2)
含 羞 整 翠 鬟
得 意 频 相 顾。
雁 柱 十 三 弦
一 一 春 莺 语。
娇 云 容 易 飞
梦 断 知 何 处。
深 院 销 黄 昏
阵 阵 芭 蕉 雨。

 

Sheng Cha Zi

(2)

Han xiu zheng cui huan
Dei yi pin xiang gu.
Yan zhu shi san xian
Yi yi chun ying yu.

Jiao yun rong yi fei
Meng duan zhi he chu.
Shen yuan xiao huang hun
Zhen zhen ba jiao yu.

 

Emerging Chazi: No. 2

With a sly look, green jade woven into her black hair bun
Frequently exudes the suggestion of her excellence.
Guzheng with a wild goose sound board and thirteen strings
One by one the springtime oriole songs emerge.

These delicate clouds soon easily fly away
Her dreams scattered, where did he go.
Locked deep in her courtyard at dusk
Rain falls like in battle formations on the banana leaves.
