Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Three Stanzas on a Handkerchief”
tí pà sān jué
题帕三绝
Three Stanzas on a Handkerchief
yǎn kōng xù lèi lèi kōng chuí
眼空蓄泪泪空垂
Eyes brim with tears that fall in vain
àn sǎ xián pāo què wèi shuí
暗洒闲抛却为谁
Secretly shed, idly cast, but for whom
chǐ fú jiāo xiāo láo jiě zèng
尺幅鲛绡劳解赠
A foot of mermaid silk, given with such effort
jiào rén yān dé bù shāng bēi
叫人焉得不伤悲
How can one not be heartbroken
pāo zhū gǔn yù zhǐ tōu shān
抛珠滚玉只偷潸
Pearls and jade cast aside, only secret tears
zhèn rì wú xīn zhèn rì xián
镇日无心镇日闲
All day listless, all day idle
zhěn shàng xiù biān nán fú shì
枕上袖边难拂拭
On the pillow, on the sleeve, hard to wipe away
rèn tā diǎn diǎn yǔ bān bān
任他点点与斑斑
Let them fall, drop by drop, stain by stain
cǎi xiàn nán shōu miàn shàng zhū
彩线难收面上珠
Silken threads cannot gather the pearls on the face
xiāng jiāng jiù jī yǐ mó hu
湘江旧迹已模糊
The old traces by the Xiang River have blurred
chuāng qián yì yǒu qiān gān zhú
窗前亦有千竿竹
By the window too stand a thousand bamboos
bù shí xiāng hén zì yě wú
不识香痕渍也无
Do they not know the stains of fragrant tears
