Fan Chengda: Late Spring Bleak and Chilly

Late Spring Bleak and Chilly: Buddha Intensity

普 萨 蛮

黄 梅 时 节 春 萧 索
越 罗 香 润 吴 纱 薄。
丝 雨 日 胧 明
柳 杨 红 未 晴。

多 愁 多 病 后
不 识 曾 中 酒。
愁 病 送 春 归
恰 如 中 酒 时。

Pu Sa Man

Huang mei shi jie chun xiao suo
Yue luo xiang run wu sha bo.
Si yu ri long ming
Liu yang hong wei qing.

Duo chou duo bing hou
Bu shi ceng zhong jiu.
Chou bing song chun gui
Qia ru zhong jiou shi.

Late Spring Bleak and Chilly: Buddha Intensity

Late spring bleak and chilly with moist yellow plum blossoms
Wear sleek and fragrant Suzhou silk gauze and thin Wu fabrics.
Days of light rain and dim skies.

In the past many worries and many illnesses
I forgot to drink the wine into oblivion.
With anxiety and poor health I send off the spring
Appropriate that this season on wine is gone.
