Xu Can: Ru meng ling:  Spring Evening ~ 徐灿·《如梦令·春晚》 with English Translations

《如梦令·春晚》是清代女诗人徐灿的词作。这首词描写的是暮春之景。首句“花似离颜红少”,将暮春时节不再鲜艳火红的花儿,比喻为离人因悲伤而朱颜凋谢的面容。第二句“梅学愁心酸早”,写暮春时梅子初成,早已酸涩,而称梅子之酸,是学习愁人之心。结句“几树垂杨还袅”,以垂杨之摇拽多姿,抒发了词人不愿意美好的春天归去的依恋之情。这首词中的比喻新颖别致,发人之所未发。

The Spring Festival Gala “is a poem written by Xu Can, a female poet in the Qing Dynasty. This poem describes the scenery of late spring. The first sentence “Flowers are as red as they are away from the face” metaphorically describes the flowers that are no longer bright and fiery red in the late spring season as the face of a departed person whose vermilion color withers due to sadness. The second sentence, ‘Learning plum blossoms brings sorrow to the heart early on.’ It describes the early ripening of plum blossoms in late spring, which have already become sour and astringent. It is also known as the sourness of plum blossoms, which is the sorrow of learning. The concluding sentence “A few weeping willows still curl up” expresses the poet’s unwillingness to return in a beautiful spring with the swaying and pulling of weeping willows. The metaphor in this poem is novel and unique, revealing something that has yet to be revealed.

徐灿·《如梦令·春晚》

花似离颜红少,

梅学愁心酸早。

生怕子规声,

啼绿庭前芳草。

春老,

春老,

几树垂杨还袅。

Ru meng ling:

Spring Evening

Like a face in parting, the flowers show little color;

As with a heart of sorrow, the plums turn sour early.

I fear the cuckoo’s voice,

Lest it prematurely scorch the grass before the courtyard.

Spring fades,

Spring fades;

A few weeping willows still sway slender and soft.
