Jiangchengzi Song · Qin Guan Translated by Tonggui Wang

The willows of the West City are flirting spring gently,
which brought back my parting sorrow, I could not stop the tears.
I still remember that you tied my return boat lovingly,
the green fields, the red bridge and the parting scene that year,
And now, where are you？I can see only the river flowing.

Beautiful youth does not stay for the young people.
When is the end of the parting sorrow?
When catkins flew, flowers fell，I ascended the pavilion.
Even if the waters of the Spring River were all tears,
The flow of sadness would never end in my heart.
