南乡子·乘彩舫
乘彩舫，
过莲塘，
棹歌惊起睡鸳鸯。
游女带香偎伴笑，
争窈窕，
竞折团荷遮晚照。
We take a painted boat and pass the lotus pond; the boat-song startles the sleeping mandarin ducks. The girls, all fragrance, lean on their companions and laugh, vying in loveliness, competing to pluck round lotus leaves to shield themselves from the evening sun.

“彩舫”是装饰彩绘的小船。“带香”另作“带花”，本页保留“带香”。“棹歌”是行船时唱的歌；“团荷”指圆形荷叶，姑娘们折荷叶来遮挡晚照。
