Partridge Sky: A Joyful Meeting
彩袖殷勤捧玉钟。
当年拚却醉颜红。
舞低杨柳楼心月，
歌尽桃花扇底风。
With coloured sleeves she eagerly offered up the jade cup; in those days I was willing to drink until my face flushed red. She danced until the moon over the willows at the heart of the tower had sunk; she sang until the wind beneath the peach-blossom fan was spent.
从别后，
忆相逢。
几回魂梦与君同。
今宵剩把银釭照，
犹恐相逢是梦中。
Since we parted I have lived on the memory of our meeting; how many times in dreams of the soul have I been with you? Tonight I hold the silver lamp high to look at you again, still fearing that this meeting is a dream.
Reading notes
拚却 means being willing to give oneself over to something; this page retains the reading pàn for 拚. 扇底 also appears as 扇影; this page follows 扇底, matching its English translation. 银釭 is a silver lamp.
