To the Tune of Green Jade Plate
The Lantern Festival Night
by Qiji Xin
Night - lit with fireworks like flowers.
Sparkles - blown off like showers.
Horses, carriages, and roads scented with girl's powders.
Sounds of panpipes floating, light of the moon glowing,
A full eye of fish and dragon lanterns, a whole night with merry dancing.
She came wearing beautiful butterfly like, silver and gold headdress,
And left with pleasant laughters like a princess.
Among crowds I had seeked her a thousand times,
And by chance I looked round, only to see her
Beyond the thin and dim lights.
Translation by Sunrise
