燕姬[1]曲
[元]萨都剌
燕京[2]女儿十六七，
颜如花红眼如漆。
兰香[3]满路马尘飞，
翠袖短鞭娇欲滴。
春风澹荡[4]摇春心，
银筝华烛高堂深。
绣衾[5]不暖锦鸳梦，
紫帘垂雾天沉沉。
芳年谁惜去如水，
春困着人倦梳洗。
夜来小雨润天街，
满院扬花飞不起[6]。

Song of a Northern Beauty
Sa Dula
The northern beauty is sixteen,
With rosy face and eyebrows green.
The road is fragrant with her steed;
Short whip in hand, she rides with speed.
In vernal breeze vernal heart swings;
In candle-lit hall no lute sings.
Her broidered quilt can’t warm her dreams;
’Neath misty sky no curtain gleams.
Years pass like water, who would care?
She is too tired to comb her hair.
Last night the streets were wet with rain;
The willow down[1] can’t waft again.
注释：
[1]The willow down symbolizes the northern beauty.
