My maidenly passions find expression only in song.

Prepare yourlf for the bridal chambers.
侯方域【梁州序】
齊梁詞賦 陳隋花柳
In the Southern Dynasties, the pleasures of literature and leisure
reached their apogee,
日日芳情迤逗
and scholars cloistered themlves off from the world with their favourites.
青衫偎倚 今番小杜揚(yáng)州
My beloved's gentle weight on my shoulder brings to mind that glorious era.
尋思描黛 指點(diǎn)吹簫 從此春入手
I paint her ebony eyebrows, and teach her to hold the flute.
Thus do I let the germ of love mature.

Ah, how I have pined for love.
偏是斜陽(yáng)遲下樓 剛飲得一杯酒
Now, the sun disappears behind the hills, casting shadows on my now-empty cup.
李香君【梁州序】
樓臺(tái)花顫 簾櫳風(fēng)抖
Flowers quiver in the courtesan's quarters, the curtain trembles in the wind:
倚著雄姿英秀
I lean against my beloved, strong and daring.
春情無(wú)限 金釵肯與梳頭
Our love knows no bounds; for though I am only a lowly courtesan,
I needn't perform a concubine's tasks.
閑花添艷 野草生香 消得夫人做
The wildflower displays brighter colours, the untamed herbs
smell sweeter. Though of low birth, still I yearn for noble station.
今宵燈影紗紅透
The quilts are blushing in the lamplight.
見(jiàn)慣司空也應(yīng)羞 破題兒真難就
For, even though this were an everyday matter, I should still be shy,
let alone the timidity of the very first time.
侯方域·李香君【節(jié)節(jié)高】
春宵一刻天長(zhǎng)久 人前怎解芙蓉扣
In an amorous night, a moment may stretch to eternity. Though we yearned to
be alone during the feast, we dared not retire behind the lotus curtains,
盼到燈昏玳筵收 宮壺滴盡蓮花漏
as the water-clock impatiently brimmed over.
李香君【川撥棹】
不思想 把話兒輕易講
Do not speak without careful consideration, or flippantly make promis.
要與他消釋災(zāi)殃 也提防旁人短長(zhǎng)
If you in any way help him to avert the disaster which threatens his life, you will expo yourlf to slander.
