自题桃花杨柳图
[清]顾媚
郎道花红如妾面,
妾言柳绿似郎衣。
何时得化鹣鹣鸟[1],
拂叶穿花一处飞。
注释:
[1]鹣鹣鸟:比翼鸟,比喻夫妻情感深厚。
On a Picture of Peach Blossoms and Willow Trees
Gu Mei
My lover says like peach blossom my face is fair;
I say my lover’s dress is green like willow tree.
When could we be transformed into lovebirds in pair,
Flying ‘mid willow leaves and peach blossoms carefree?
