Phoenix flutes make music,
The moonlight flashes,
Fish and dragon lanterns
whirl the whole night long.
-Xin Qiji
凤箫声动,
玉壶光转,
一夜鱼龙舞。

Lead-in
东风夜放花千树。更吹落、星如雨。宝马雕车香满路。
凤箫声动,玉壶光转,一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕。笑语盈盈暗香去。众里寻他千百度。
蓦然回首,那人却在,灯火阑珊处。
But in the crowd once and again
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
— 许渊冲译
众里寻他千百度,
蓦然回首,
那人却在灯火阑珊处。
