燕池yanchi - 北国
孑影侧枕床木，寒思冻彻身骨。
Just only my shadow with me on my bed and pillow, yearning for you is freezing my bones.
拥衾难寐空屋，起衣温酒一壶。
It’s hard to fall asleep on a lonely night, i get up to boil some wine.
北国夜无雪，念念藏纸雀。
one night in the north with no snow, i make paper birds intently
枯守孤盏灯，清坐又一更。
Sitting alone beside the lamp, another night has passed
昨冬初逢可忆，今朝苦等难遇。
It feels like yesterday that last winter we met for the first time, today I’m waiting for you obsessively but it’s hard to see your face
去日欢颜几许？来年再会可期？
Flashing back to those happy moments in the past, is it possible to meet after this?
北国夜无雪，隐隐惧相逢。
one night in the north with no snow, I’m starting to fear a little
宁负痴心某，独熬愚情种。
I’d rather disappoint someone who loves me, awaiting the one i love foolishly
夕阳几缕染双眸，旧月一轮诉肠衷。
the setting sun blurred my sight, I see the old moon that reminds me of the old time
声色如彼化于风，形影似我遁无声。
those sounds are like you who left with the wind, those visions are like me who disappeared silently

声色如彼化于风，形影似我遁无声。
those sounds are like you who left with the wind, those visions are like me who disappeared silently
北国夜无雪，疏疏门前路。
one night in the north with no snow, a sparse path lies in front of my house
子犹守岁烛，冷暖梦何苦
You stay with me at night, to keep me away from dreams.
