思帝乡·春日游

韦庄 · 唐代

春chūn日rì游yóu，

杏xìng花huā吹chuī满mǎn头tóu。

陌mò上shàng谁shuí家jiā年nián少shào，

足zú风fēng流liú。

Out for a spring outing, with apricot petals blown all over my head. Who is that lad upon the path — so full of grace?

妾qiè拟nǐ将jiāng身shēn嫁jià与yǔ，

一yī生shēng休xiū。

纵zòng被bèi无wú情qíng弃qì，

不bù能néng羞xiū。

I would marry him and be content for life. Even if he should heartlessly cast me off, I would not be ashamed.
