I drink the wine to listen to love song,
my mind gets clear but not my sorrow.
Those beautiful days has gone,will they come back?
Face the mirror,what a faded flower,
the love you gave me now is only in the memory.
On the seaside two birds snuggle together,
Pierces into cloud,moonshine sprinkles on lavenders.
turn off the candles,but my heart is still kindling for you.
Wind breezes me in this midnight,
tomorrow the fallen petals shall spread on the courtyard like snow.
水调数声持酒听。
午醉醒来愁未醒。
送春春去几时回。
临晚镜。
伤流景。
往事后期空记省。
沙上并禽池上暝。
云破月来花弄影。
重重帘幕密遮灯，风不定。
人初静。
明日落红应满径。

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.
