竹枝词二首
刘禹锡
（其二）
山桃红花满上头[1]，
蜀江[2]春水拍山流。
花红易衰似郎意，
水流无限似侬[3]愁。
注释：
[1] 上头：山上头。
[2] 蜀江：指长江。
[3] 侬：我。女子自称。
Bamboo Branch Songs
Liu Yuxi
（Ⅱ）
The mountain’s red with peach blossoms above;
The shore is washed by spring waves below.
Red blossoms fade fast as my gallant’s love;
The river like my sorrow will ever flow.
These two quatrains describe a woman’s complaint of her gallant.
