采莲曲

若耶溪边采莲女，
笑隔荷花共人语。
日照新妆水底明，
风飘香袖空中举。
岸上谁家游冶郎，
三三五五映垂杨。
紫骝嘶入落花去，
见此踟蹰空断肠。

Sur les bords du Jo‑Jeh

Des jeunes filles cueuillent des nénuphares
Sur les bords du Jo-Jeh.
Parmi les bambous
Elles s'interpellent et se cachent en riant.
L'eau réflechit leurs belles robes
Qui parfument la brise.
Des cavaliers passent entre les saules de la rive.
Un des cheveaux hennit.
Son maître regarde en vain de tous côtés - puis s'éloigne.
Une des jeunes filles laisse tomber ses nénuphares
Et comprime son coeur qui bat à grands coups.
