（古詩英譯）二月二日 – （唐）李商隱

二月二日 – （唐）李商隱

二月二日江上行，东风日暖闻吹笙。

花须柳眼各无赖，紫蝶黄蜂俱有情。

万里忆归元亮井，三年从事亚夫营。

新滩莫悟游人意，更作风檐夜雨声。

On the Second Day of the Second Lunar Month

by Li Shangyin (Tang Dynasty)

On the second of Feb, on the river I boat,

In the balmy east breeze, by my ear flute songs float.  

Flower fluffs and willow catkins romp like chic elves,

Butterflies don purple robe, bees dight golden coat.

Like Tao Qian I long for home, though so far away,

For three years, in a Ya Fu-styled camp, so remote.

The new rapids, oblivious to what I yearn,

Like night storms, they roar down swiftly from roof to moat.
