王昌龄: 春宫曲/ Wang Changling: A SONG OF THE SPRING PALACE

春宫曲

王昌龄

昨夜风开露井桃, 未央前殿月轮高。

平阳歌舞新承宠, 帘外春寒赐锦袍。

 

A SONG OF THE SPRING PALACE

Wang Changling

Last night, while a gust blew peach-petals open

And the moon shone high on the Palace Beyond Time,

The Emperor gave Pingyang, for her dancing,

Brocades against the cold spring-wind.
