Song: Yan
Liu Xia Sheng Ge Yuan, floret Dang. Remember what happened in the Spring Mansion that day and write it to jathyapple in the red window. Who should send Lian Xiao?
Crimson wax is idle with tears, and Wu silkworm is lingering. How much hatred can a green temple provide? It is better to be heartless than to break a string. This year is older than last year.
Translation:
Someone plays the piano on the willow tree in the courtyard, and sisters play among the flowers. I still remember those things when I was in a brothel. I wrote a letter in front of the red window in the moonlight. Who can send it to Xiaolian for me?
Candles accompany people to cry, and spring silkworms spin silk, telling endless sadness and lingering. How many times can black hair hold? Where will you go? Maybe not as heartless as a broken string. This year is still bigger than last year.
Extended data
During the Northern Song Dynasty, many poets went in and out of brothels and had fond memories with Xiaolian. However, as time went by, Xiaolian was gone, so the poet wrote this word in order to express his infinite lovesickness and nostalgia for this brothel woman.
