Bai Juyi

Sourced

• 琴詩酒友皆抛我 雪月花時最憶君
  • Translation: Friends on pipa, poetry and drinking all of them casted me. When I see the snow, the moon or blossoms, I long for you deeply.
  • 「寄殷律協」

The Song of Long Sorrow

• 春寒賜浴華清池 / 温泉水滑洗凝脂
• Translation:

  ...It was early spring. They bathed her in the FlowerPure Pool,
  Which warmed and smoothed the creamy-tinted crystal of her skin

• 可憐光彩生門戸 / 遂令天下父母心 / 不重生男重生女
• Translation:

  And, because she so illumined and glorified her clan,
  She brought to every father, every mother through the empire,
  Happiness when a girl was born rather than a boy.

• 在天願作比翼鳥 / 在地願為連理枝 / 天長地久有時盡 / 此恨綿綿無絶期
• Translation:

  " ... / That we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one,
  And to grow together on the earth, two branches of one tree."
  Earth endures, heaven endures; some time both shall end,
  While this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever.
