Peggy Lee - Chinese Love Poems: Going Rowing / Like the Moon / the Musicians

In order to go rowing in our boat, we have waited for the setting of the sun

A slight breeze ripples the blue surface and stirs the waterlilies

Along the banks, where the cherry blossoms fall like rain, we catch a glimpse of strolling lovers

My courteous friends prepare cooling drinks

The beautiful young girls breathe the perfume of the white glycine

I watch a cloud sailing over us, soon the rain

And I shall compose some verses

On the inconstancy of happiness

Like the moon in the blue heavens, I am alone in my room

I have put out the light and I am weeping

I weep because you are so far away

And because you will never know how much I love you

The musicians have gone

The lilacs, which they placed in the vases of jade, bend toward the loots and seem to listen still
