In the east wind tonight a thousand trees burst into bloom

And stars are blown down like rain;

The whole perfumed road is thronged

With fine carriages and horses bright with gems;

Phoenix flutes make music,

The moonlight flashes,

Fish and dragon lanterns whirl the whole night long.

Golden willow and butterfly trinkets in her hair,

Laughing and chatting she leaves a faint fragrance behind her.

A thousand times I search for her in the crowd

And,suddenly turning my head,

Discover her where the lantern lights are dim.
