梨花颂 Ode of Pear Flower

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D5nyLUxV4Tc&mode=related&search=

I die for Great Tang Dynasty, die out of true love,

Dying without regret, leaving without complaining.

Only I, I can not endure away from "San Lang".

Niang Niang
Niang Niang

After I die, I beg Gao Gong Gong, please serve Emporer well.

Servant me, remember it.

This golden pin is a loving trusty gift given by emporer.
Please place it in the front of my chest, during my burial.

Slave servant remember it.

San Lang ...

(Final Song)

Pear flowers bloom, spring carrys rain;
Pear flowers fall, spring goes into mud.

This life dies of only for one person.

Appreciate him, as an emporer king, also has such a love -- so humble and exclusive.

陆游 唐婉

(Husband, Wife)

Lu You, Tang Wan

(Husband)

红酥手，黄籘酒，满城 春色宫墙柳。
东风恶， 欢情薄，一怀愁绪，几 年离索。
错，错，错

Red soft hand, yellow rattan wine, entire city (is full of) spring color, palace wall (with) "Liu" (vines).
East wind harsh, pleasant feeling (is) short, (by) a whole heartily worrying threads, (going with) many years (of) out searching.
Wrong, wrong, wrong

(Wife)

世情薄，人情恶，雨送 黄昏花易落。
晓风乾， 泪痕残，欲笺心事，独 语斜栏。
难，难，难
Worldly compassion less, people attach to evil, rain sends off dusk, flowers easily fall.
Dawn wind dry, tear trail messy, want to write from my heart, alone speaking, reclining on the railing.
Hard, hard, hard

(Husband)

春如旧，人空瘦，泪痕 红浥鲛绡透。
桃花落， 闲池阁，山盟虽在，锦 书难托。
莫，莫，莫！

Spring is like in old days, person is empty & lean, tear trails, red city area, water like silks, are all been seen through.
Peach flowers fall, on the rest are ponds & pavilions, mountain like oath is still there, though, great writing on the silk is so hard to commit
No, no , no!

(Wife)

人成各，今非昨，病魂 常似秋千索。
角声寒， 夜阑珊，怕人寻问，咽 泪装欢。
瞒，瞒，瞒。

People are all seperated, today is not yesterday, ill spirit is often like swing locked up.
"Jiao" (a music instrument) sounds chilling, night is spotty,
being afraid of people's asking, swallowing tears, pretend to be happy.
Hide, hide, hide.
