译文留人留不住，情人在醉中解缆随着兰舟远去。一只船桨划出碧波漫漫春江路，霎时过尽黄莺啼叫处。渡口上杨柳青青，枝枝叶叶是离情。此地别后书信不要再寄，画楼欢情已化作残云断雨，一场春梦，了封锁痕迹，都是虚幻无凭。

注释留人不住二句：郑文宝《柳枝词》：“亭亭画舸系春潭，直到行人酒半酣。不管烟波与风雨，载将离恨过江南。”此处翻用其意。兰舟：木兰舟，以木兰树所造之船。此处泛指船只。2、渡头杨柳二句：刘禹锡《杨柳词》：“长安陌上无穷柳，唯有垂杨管别离。”此处化用其意。锦书：书信的美称。前秦苏若兰织锦为字成回文诗，寄给丈夫窦滔。后世泛称情书为锦书。云雨：隐喻男女交合之欢。

Riverside Daffodils

Awake from dreams, I find the locked tower high;Sober from wine, I see the curtain hanging low.As last year spring grief seems to grow.Amid the falling blooms alone stand I;In the fine rain a pair of swallows fly.

I still remember when I first saw pretty Ping,In silken dress embroidered with two hearts in a ring,Revealing lovesickness by touching pipa’s string.The moon shines bright just as last year;It did see her like a cloud disappear.
