葬花

费玉清( 张彦亭 )

《葬花》bury the falling blossoms

作词:卜万苍
作曲:金玉古

花谢花飞飞满天 红销香断有谁怜
blossoms are falling, flying in the air every where.
her beauty fades away, her life ends, would anyone sorrow for her?

愁绪满怀无着处 手把花锄出绣帘
have this heart filled with melancholy, no one is close for me to lean on.
take the tiny hoe for the flowers, i stepped out through my bedroom door.

花开易见落难寻 阶前愁煞葬花人
it is easy to see the blooming flowers, yet is hard to spot them after they fall.
i am trying to bury them, this worries me so very much, standing right at the porch steps.

独把花锄偷洒泪 洒上空枝见血痕
i'm alone here working with the flower hoe, my tears started falling without being seen.
tears fall onto thetwigs, they turn into something as if they were the blood stains.

随花飞到天尽头 天尽头何处有香坵
*follow the flowers, floating with the wind to the end of the skyline.
at the end of skyline, where could be her resting place?

未若锦囊收艳骨 一 坯净土掩风流
not like the brocade sack was only for collecting her beauty remains, but a mound of pure dirt is to cover up her love affairs.

侬今葬花人笑痴 他日葬侬知是谁
today i am burying the falling blossoms, others might laugh at my dementia.
someday to bury me, i wonder who would that be?

一朝春尽红颜老 花落人亡两不知
oneday when the youth is over, pretty face becomes old, flower falls and one dies, both will never be aware of it any more. (refrain*)

两不知!
not any more!
