Текст песни и перевод на английский 河圖 - 妹在江边洗茼蒿

妹在江边洗茼蒿

妹在江边洗茼蒿
妹在江边洗茼蒿
茼蒿叶子趁水漂
那天哥喝了江中水
害得我得了相思痨
晴雨阴 不阻前往
酒几杯 从温到凉
夕阳西下 灯火才点亮
等待总让时日漫长
笑嗔颦 全都私藏
一滴泪 便断人肠
曾有人说 她生来冷漠
怎会独以温柔待我
十四弦 一曲为谁唱
为谁点 额上半朵梅花妆
费思量 我猜她心肠
用陈年墨色 画成她模样
为留住一缕发上香
笑嗔颦 全都私藏
一滴泪 便断人肠
曾有人说 她生来冷漠
怎会独以温柔待我
十四弦 一曲为谁唱
为谁点 额上半朵梅花妆
费思量 我猜她心肠
用陈年墨色 画成她模样
为留住一缕发上香
不闻帘外丝弦响
但见镜里人初妆
半朵梅花落眉间
半是为美半为郎

A Lady Washes Watercress by the River

A lady was washing watercress by the river,
A lady was washing watercress by the river,
The watercress leaves floated on the water,
That day, I drank the river water,
And fell lovesick for her,
Rain or shine, I would always visit,
A few cups of wine, first warm then cold,
As the sun sets in the west, the lamps are lit,
The wait always seemed too long,
Her laughter, her small complaints, her every move, I kept secret,
A single tear, and my heart aches,
Some say she was born cold,
How could she be so gentle with me?
Fourteen strings, a song for whom?
For whom did you paint a half-plum blossom on your forehead?
I pondered, trying to guess her heart,
With aged ink, I painted her image,
To keep the fragrance of a lock of her hair,
Her laughter, her small complaints, her every move, I kept secret,
A single tear, and my heart aches,
Some say she was born cold,
How could she be so gentle with me?
Fourteen strings, a song for whom?
For whom did you paint a half-plum blossom on your forehead?
I pondered, trying to guess her heart,
With aged ink, I painted her image,
To keep the fragrance of a lock of her hair,
The sound of strings outside the curtain is faint,
Only the reflection in the mirror is newly made up,
Half a plum blossom on your eyebrow,
Half for beauty, half for love,
