In the morning,put on a light make-up,
pink lips and blue eyes,am i sexy?
Stick my tongue out,come to kiss me.
A song in the cherry trees,
baby,catch me tight if you want me to be your goddess.
Thin shirt on my body,so cold i feel.
grape wine stains the sheet,i don't care.
Leaning on the boudoir like a frail maiden,
spitting the litchis on your face smilingly,
what are you waiting?Come to possess me with your incredible love.
晓妆初过，沉檀轻注些儿个。
向人微露丁香颗，一曲清歌，暂引樱桃破。
罗袖裛残殷色可，杯深旋被香醪涴。
绣床斜凭娇无那，烂嚼红茸，笑向檀郎唾。

Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
