少年不识愁滋味
When young, I knew not the taste of sorrow,
爱上层楼 But loved to mount the high towers;
爱上层楼 I loved to mount the high towers
为赋新词强说愁
To compose a new song, urging myself to talk about sorrow.
而今识尽愁滋味
Now that I have known all the taste of sorrow,
欲说还休 I would like to talk about it, but refrain;
欲说还休 I would like to talk about it, but refrain,
却道天凉好个秋
And say merely: "It is chilly; what a fine autumn
