STUDY IN CHINA GLOBAL (SCG)I Climb the Western Tower in Silence (Joy of Meeting)
Li Yu
相见欢·无言独上西楼
李煜 〔五代〕
无言独上西楼，月如钩。寂寞梧桐深院锁清秋。
剪不断，理还乱，是离愁。别是一般滋味在心头。(一般 一作：一番)
| Not speak alone up west tower moon like sickle Quiet lonely wutong deep courtyard lock clear autumn Cut not sever mind still disorder is parting sorrow Separate is just like taste in heart head |
I climb the western tower in silence, the moon like a sickle. Clear autumn is locked in the deep courtyard, where a wutong tree stands lonely. Sorrowful parting has cut, but not severed our ties; my mind is still wild. Separation is just like a taste in head and heart. |
