Spring Anxiety

Spring Anxiety
By Ms. Zhu Shuzhen (Song around 1130)
Translated by Laijon Liu

Alone I walked, alone I sat
Alone I sang and drank
And alone I lay to rest.

For a long while I stood
With a heartbroken spirit
But the chill spring wind
I had no solution to fend

This feeling
Who would understand?
My tears washed off all my face cream.

Anxiety and illness
That I must endure all night
By picking the lonesome candlelight
Yet, a dream I could not make.

Chinese:
减字木兰花
春怨　　
朱淑真　　

独行独坐，
独唱独酬还独卧。
伫立伤神，
无奈春寒著摸人。

此情谁见，
泪洗残妆无一半。
愁病相仍，
剔尽孤灯梦不成。
