Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Song of Purple Water Chestnut Islet”
zǐ líng zhōu gē
紫菱洲歌
Song of Purple Water Chestnut Islet
chí táng yī yè qiū fēng lěng
池塘一夜秋风冷
The pond chilled by autumn wind all night
chuī sàn jì hé hóng yù yǐng
吹散芰荷红玉影
Has scattered water chestnuts’ ruby light
liǎo huā líng yè bù shèng chóu
蓼花菱叶不胜愁
Smartweed blooms and chestnut leaves grieve in despair
zhòng lù fán shuāng yā xiān gěng
重露繁霜压纤梗
Bowed by heavy dew and frost so fair
bù wén yǒng zhòu qiāo qí shēng
不闻永昼敲棋声
No more the sound of chess played all day long
yàn ní diǎn diǎn wū qí píng
燕泥点点污棋枰
But swallows’ mud stains the chessboard strong
gǔ rén xī bié lián péng yǒu
古人惜别怜朋友
The ancients grieved when friends had to part
kuàng wǒ jīn dāng shǒu zú qíng
况我今当手足情
How much more for my own flesh and heart
