菩萨蛮·蓬莱院闭天台女
李煜 〔五代〕
蓬莱院闭天台女，画堂昼寝人无语。抛枕翠云光，绣衣闻异香。
潜来珠锁动，惊觉银屏梦。脸慢笑盈盈，相看无限情。
| Peng lai compound shut heaven level woman Painted hall day sleep people not speak Throw pillow jade cloud glossy Embroidered clothes smell extraordinary fragrance Secretly come pearl lock move Startle wake silver screen dream Face freely smile full full Mutual watch not limit love |
A heavenly woman’s imprisoned in the palace at Penglai Hill, All are silent as she sleeps by day in the painted hall. Her glossy hair is spread like cloud on the pillow, Her embroidered clothes bear a wondrous fragrance. I secretly come and slide the pearl lock back, She’s startled from her dream behind the silver screen. Her smiling face is overflowing with bliss, We gaze at each other with unbounded love. |
