東風夜放花千樹

更吹落、星如雨。

寶馬雕車香滿路。

鳳簫聲動，玉壺光轉，

一夜魚龍舞。

蛾兒雪柳黃金縷，

笑語盈盈暗香去。

眾裡尋他千百度，

幕然回首，

那人卻在燈火闌珊處。

One night's east wind adorns a thousand trees with flowers 
And blows down stars in showers. 
Fine steeds and carved cabs spread fragrance en route; 
Music vibrates from the flute; 
The moon sheds its full light 
While fish and dragon lanterns dance all night. 

In gold-thread dress, with moth or willow ornaments, 
Giggling, she melts into the throng with trails of scents 
But in the crowd once and again 
I look for her in vain.
