And now that the night wind has scattered the plum blossoms, I find it hard to admire their beauty.

some more translations to compare

Li Qingzhao

Tune: "Bodhisattva's Gold Headdress" Nostalgia

菩萨蛮·怀归

A mild sun, a soft breeze, The touch of a lined coat just put on: Early springtime finds me In a somewhat cheerful mood. There's a bit of chill, though, on getting up, And the plum blossom in my hair Has wilted. My old home—where may it be? There's no forgetting about that Unless I am drunk. No scent left of the sandalwood incense Lit overnight, But the effect of wine Is with me still.

(tr. Jiaosheng Wang)

#i wonder if the title 'nostalgia' was added by someone down the line #poetry #translation
