【Sing Chinese poetry with me】
Chinese:
jīn lǚ yī
金缕衣
quàn jūn mò xī jīn lǚ yī ,
劝君莫惜金缕衣,
quàn jūn xī qǔ shào nián shí 。
劝君惜取少年时。
huā kāi kān zhé zhí xū zhé ,
花开堪折直须折,
mò dài wú huā kōng zhé zhī 。
莫待无花空折枝。
English:
The Golden Dress
Anonymous
Love not your golden dress,I pray,
More than your youthful golden hours.
Gather sweet blossoms while you may,
And not the twig devoid of flowers!
