安山亭 (北行见杏花)
Gazebo in the Yanshan mountains
(on the way north to look at apricot flowers)
作者：赵佶. 朝代：北宋.
Author: Zhao Ji. Period: Northern Song Dynasty.
(tailored from snow-white silk with a touch of blush). 羞杀蕊珠宫女(elegant and fragrant flowers will make even a court maid of honor burn with envy).
易得凋零，、、. 愁苦(the petals fall off too easily under the merciless wind and rain. Dreary...). ("How many springs have already passed?" - I whisper in the cold silence of the courtyard).
凭寄离恨重重，这双燕, 何曾会人言语？(Who will share my homesickness? Here are the swallows, will they understand my words?) 天遥地远，万水千山，知他故宫何处？怎不思量？(Far, far away, I'm in a strange land, even where I can't remember my house...)! (and only in a dream sometimes I go back there… Impossible!...and I almost don't dream about home...).
