Jade-Like Trees: (Rear Halls and Courtyard Flowers in Broken Pieces)

玉 树: 后 庭 花 破 子
玉 树 后 庭 前
瑶 草 妆 镜 边。
去 年 人 不 老
今 年 月 又 圆。
莫 教 偏, 和 月 和 花
天 教 长 少 年。
Yu Shu: (Hou Ting Hua Po Zi)

Yu shu hou ting qian
Yao cao zhuang jing bian.

Qu nian ren bu lao
Jin nian yue you yuan.

Mo jiao pian, he yue he hua
Tian jiao chang shao nian.

 

Jade-Like Trees: (Rear Halls and Courtyard Flowers in Broken Pieces)

Jade-like trees in front of rear halls and courtyards
Next to them, precious plants and make-up before a mirror.

Last year the people were not old
This year our moon will still be round.

Do not let anyone change the moon or the flowers
Tell Heaven we will still be strong after several years.
