Plum Blossoms: (Western River Moon)
梅 花: (西 江 月)
玉 骨 哪 愁 瘴 雾
冰 姿 自 有 仙 风。
海 仙 时 遣 探 芳 丛
倒 挂 绿 毛 幺 凤。
素 面 常 嫌 粉 涴
洗 妆 不 褪 唇 红。
高 情 已 逐 晓 云 空
不 与 梨 花 同 梦。
Mei Hua: (Xi Jiang Yue)
Yu gu na chou zhang wu
Bing zi zi you xian feng.
Hai xian shi qian tan fang cong
Dao gua lu mao yao feng.
Su mian chang xian fen wo
Xi zhuang bu tui chun hong.
Gao qing yi zhu xiao yun kong
Bu yu li hua tong meng.
Plum Blossoms: (Western River Moon)
These trees not adversely affected by the local miasmal fog and mists
The blossoms, like you, have the appearance of celestial beings.
In season ocean immortals visit their fragrant clusters
One green bird sent from afar, hangs upside down on the branch.
These blossoms and her do not need any makeup or white powder
To remove or take off any red lipstick would be an improvement.
Both blossoms and her have fallen, elevated emotions join the dawn clouds
Do not need to dream about pear blossoms.
