Shifted the Candlelight: (Small Stream Washing the Sand)

转 烛: 浣 溪 沙
转 烛 飘 蓬 一 梦 归
欲 寻 陈 迹 怅 人 非。
天 教 心 愿 与 身 违
待 月 池 台 空 逝 水。
映 花 楼 阁 谩 斜 晖
登 临 不 惜 更 沾 衣。
Zhuan Zhu: (Huan Xi Sha)

Zhuan zhu piao peng yi meng gui
Yu xun chen ji chang ren fei.

Tian jiao xin yuan yu shen wei
Dai yue chi tai kong shi shui.

Ying hua lou ge man xie hui
Deng lin bu xi geng zhan yi.

 

Shifted the Candlelight: (Small Stream Washing the Sand)

Shifted the candlelight, weak and disheveled , one dream returns
Hope to search for things of the past, not the current disappointing people.

Heart-mind hopes my life will follow the heavenly teachings
Entertained only by moonlight on a pond and empty terraces with water passing away.

Slanting sunlight shines on towers and pavilions
Climb up, tear-moistened clothes not enjoyed.
