春日遊 – （唐）韋莊

春日游，

杏花吹满头。

陌上谁家年少足风流？

妾拟将身嫁与一生休。

纵被无情弃，

不能羞。

A Spring Outing by Wei Zhuang (Tang dynasty)

 A spring day, on a tour I go,

Apricot blossoms into my hair blow.

Afield, who is that brawny lad with a glamorous glow?

A wish stirs within to woo him to be my lifelong beau.

Ah, even if he might abandon me,

Ashamed I’d be? Ah, no, no, no!

Tr. Ziyuzile
