虞美人        

              李煜

春花秋月何时了，
往事知多少？
小楼昨夜又东风，
故国不堪回首明月中。
雕栏玉砌应犹在，
只是朱颜改。
问君能有几多愁，
恰似一江春水向东流。



When will end spring flowers and the autumn moon?
How many past events are gone along with them?
Spring wind blew again thro my bedroom last night,
I couldn’t look back at my country in the moonlight.
Carven balustrades and marble steps stay there still,
But they might be decorated at new masters’ will.
Who can tell me what is the strong sorrow like then ?
It is just like the spring flood that ever flows east
