尽日栏干头。
栏干十二曲，
And all day long I stand with hand on rail. By the curving handrails I stand and sigh,
垂手明如玉。
卷帘天自高，
My hands hanging down, as white as jade. I roll up curtains and see the boundless sky
海水摇空绿。
海水梦悠悠，
And river waters flowing in the shade. Eternal are the waters of the stream;
君愁我亦愁。
南风知我意，
Alas for me and with man who stays afar! If the southern wind is aware of my dream,
吹梦到西洲。
Please bring me in my dream to West Bar.
