未識綺羅香 - 蔡琴 traduction en anglais

未識綺羅香

蓬 門 未識綺羅香
托良媒亦自 傷
相依有 弟 妹
生 小 失爹娘
妝成誰惜嬌模樣 啊~

碧 玉 年 華芳 春 時節
啊~ 啊~ 空 自 迴腸

夢 迴 何處是家鄉
有浮雲掩月 光
問誰 憐弱 質
幽 怨 託情 傷
舞袖 歌扇增惆悵 啊~

隨 處 飄萍 頻年壓 線 空自淒涼
隨 處 飄萍 頻年壓 線 空自淒涼

A Strange Fragrance I Have Not Known

My humble abode knows naught of fine silks
And though I seek a matchmaker, I grieve
I depend upon my siblings
For I lost my parents as a child
Who would value my beauty now? Ah~

In the years of my youth, when spring blossomed
Ah~ Ah~ In vain, I yearn

In my dreams, where is my home?
Clouds obscure the moonlight
Who would pity my frail existence?
My loneliness, my sorrow I confide
My dancing and singing only increase my regret Ah~

Like a drifting duckweed, year after year I struggle in vain
Like a drifting duckweed, year after year I struggle in vain
