春宵一刻值千金， 花有清香月有陰。 歌管樓臺聲細細， 鞦韆院落夜沈沈。

Ein jeder Augenblick der Frühlingsnacht Ist viele tausend Silberstücke wert. Die Blumen atmen reinen Wohlgeruch, Der Mond [streut]1 seine Schatten rings umher. Gesang und Flötenspiel tönt vom [Balkon]2, Leis ziehn die Töne durch die weite Ruh. [Die Schaukel steht im Garten]3 einsam da, Es sinkt die Nacht den Morgenstunden zu.
