I'm in love.
Lyrics to the tune: Huan Xi Sha, by Yen Shu (Song dynasty)
Only a moment, this seasons splendor,
this body, a bounded thing;
to part now as if it didnt matter
easily breaks the heart;
so dont be hasty, refusing
the partys wine, the banquets song.
Mountains and rivers fill our eyes, but care
is wasted on things too far;
besides which, this grief at spring passing,
at wind and the rain bringing down flowers;
it is better by far to take as your love
the person before your eyes.
In classical Chinese this is six lines of seven characters each. Isn't that hot? So much meaning!
Like I said, I'm in love. I'm just not sure who I'm in love with. Yet.
