天上飄着些微雲，
地上吹着些微風。
啊！
微風吹動了我頭髮，
教我如何不想她？

月光戀愛着海洋，
海洋戀愛着月光。
啊！
這般蜜也似的銀夜，
教我如何不想她？

水面落花慢慢流，
水底魚兒慢慢游。
啊！
燕子你說些什麼話？
教我如何不想她？

枯樹在冷風裏搖，
野火在暮色中燒。
啊！
西天還有些兒殘霞，
教我如何不想她？

（一九二〇，九，四，倫敦）

English translation by Claude (an AI)

A few light clouds are floating in the sky,
a light breeze is blowing over the earth.
Ah!
The breeze stirs my hair;
how can I help thinking of her?

The moonlight is in love with the sea,
the sea is in love with the moonlight.
Ah!
On a silver night as sweet as honey,
how can I help thinking of her?

On the water, fallen petals slowly drift,
under the water, little fish slowly swim.
Ah!
Swallow, what are you saying?
How can I help thinking of her?

Withered trees sway in the cold wind,
a wild fire burns in the dusk.
Ah!
There is still a little afterglow in the western sky;
how can I help thinking of her?

(4 September 1920, London)
