茉莉依眠 (Mòlì Yī Mián)

==Lyrics==
Chinese 	Pinyin 	English
一字换一伤 一句戏一场 	yī zì huàn yī shāng yījù xì yī chǎng 	A wound for every word - a play for every line
一曲仅一唱 一人又怎样 	yī qū jǐn yī chàng yīrén yòu zěnyàng 	I sing this song only once - how has the one I long for been?
若酒能断肠 饮一杯何妨 	ruò jiǔ néng duàncháng yǐn yībēi héfáng 	If in wine I may finally let loose this heart filled with grief - then why not drink a cup?
看河舟茫茫 听歌声朗朗 	kàn hé zhōu mángmáng tīng gēshēng lǎnglǎng 	I watch the boat adrift over the river - I listen to the song that resounds clear as day
 	 	
挽一袖月光 渔歌断了腔 	wǎn yī xiù yuèguāng yúgē duànle qiāng 	When a ray of moonlight has fallen, the fishes have stopped singing
茉莉花放 独自留芳 	mòlìhuā fàng dúzì liú fāng 	The jasmine flowers have bloomed - filling the air with their distinct scent
素手执笔诗一行 	sùshǒu zhíbǐ shī yīxíng 	With bare hands, I write a line of this verse
宣纸染了墨色淌 	xuānzhǐ rǎnle mòsè tǎng 	A blot of ink stains the calligraphy paper
犹如水微漾 	yóurú shuǐ wēi yàng 	Like the water, it seems to be making a light ripple
 	 	
赏旧景彷徨 听不清囔囔 	shǎng jiù jǐng fǎnghuáng tīng bù qīng nāngnāng	I revel in the scenery of old as I pace back and forth - I listen to unclear, unintelligible mumbles
晚风起衣裳 青丝尽散扬 	wǎn fēng qǐ yīshang qīngsī jǐn sàn yáng 	The night breeze lifts this garment of mine - as fine black hair is scattered in the wind
他年故友访 笑天高海沧 	tā nián gùyǒu fǎng xiào tiān gāohǎicāng 	An old friend from the past has come - taking joy in the far skies and the blue seas
兴浓时举觞 憾寒夜太长 	xìng nóng shí jǔ shāng hàn hán yè tài zhǎng 	In times of great celebration, we toast our cups - regretfully, we pass this chilling night for much too long a time
 	 	
有一抹暗香 过枝静幽长 	yǒu yīmǒ àn xiāngguò zhī jìng yōu zhǎng 	A tinge of fragrance yet lingers, past the serene branches that stretch
梨木划桨 惊对鸳鸯 	límù huà jiǎng jīng duì yuānyāng 	A pair of paddles made of pear tree wood have startled a pair of ducksThis line is actually wordplay. The word 鸳鸯 "Mandarin duck" has been used in old Chinese poems to refer to husband and wife, i.e. a happily married couple. The paddles are made of pear tree wood, and in Chinese the word "pear" 梨 lí has identical pronunciation with the word "separate" 离 lí.
裙角随秋风飘荡 	qún jiǎo suí qiūfēng piāodàng 	The edges of my skirt flows in the autumn breeze
闲来问津锣鼓巷 	xián lái wènjīn luógǔ xiàng 	In idleness, I ask where I may head to the alley with gongs and drums
花瓣落一掌 	huābàn luò yī zhǎng 	Petals fall on the palm of my hand
 	 	
好一朵美丽的茉莉花 	hǎo yī duǒ měilì de mòlìhuā 	What a pretty Jasmine flower,
好一朵美丽的茉莉花 	hǎo yī duǒ měilì de mòlìhuā 	What a pretty Jasmine flower,
芬芳美丽满枝桠 	fēn fāng měilì mǎn zhīyā 	Nice to see and nice to smell!
又香又白人人夸 	yòu xiāng yòu báirén rén kuā 	Praiseworthy scent, and white as well!This verse is the folk song "". The translation is taken from the song's page on Wikipedia and lacks attribution.
 	 	
留一地浅黄 花谢无人想 	liú yī dì qiǎnhuáng huā xiè wúrén xiǎng 	As the land is left with a colour of pale yellow, the flower wilts with nary a one remembering it
夜幕苍茫 归入梦乡 	yèmù cāngmáng guī rù mèngxiāng 	The curtain of night is boundless - I return to a land of dreams
安眠中淡了过往 	ānmián zhōng dànle guòwǎng 	As I sleep in comfort, memories of the past surface
那白日事都尽忘 	nà bái rì shì dōu jǐn wàng 	I've already forgotten about all that transpired in the daytime
前事作薄凉 	qián shì zuò báo liáng 	The matters of the past have become as thin as mist
