這深閨幽怨，這低吟緩唱，讓我駐足她窗外聽了又聽... 不禁想給這歌詞翻譯一下。(視頻配圖裡的女子和旗袍真漂亮！) 

《藍旗袍》

The Blue Qipao Dress

Lyrics:

想念你送的藍旗袍

I miss the blue qipao dress you gave

每一個輪廓都如此的窈窕

So willowy it had my contours shaped

桃紅胭脂黛青發梢

Cheeks dabbed in pink rouge, hair tinted emerald

窗外開滿了芍藥那光景多好

Peonies blossoming by the windows... so sweet those days were

誓言是一件藍旗袍

But your promise is like a blue qipao

時光的河流把顏色都洗掉

Time has its colors all washed out 

山水迢迢錦書縹緲

So far distanced apart, so misty is your whereabout

歡愉被風吹散了再無處尋找

My joy is gone with the wind, nowhere to be found

糾結的情絲將我纏繞

Knotted feelings have me entangled

情事如花開過就謝了

Love is such as flowers, blossom then wither

在鏡前為你梳妝的女子

So many times in front of the mirror for you she dresses up

錯過了多少良宵

So many sweet nights she has longed for but never turn out

記憶的台階荒煙蔓草

Memory stairs * have become weedy and desolate 

拾級而上夢落知多少

Each step on them is accompanied by a dream cracked

歲月里為你守候的女子

Pity the girl who's been waiting for you all these years 

等不來一個擁抱

Waiting for a hug that never appears

* 註：我本來想用英文裡一個現有的詞 “memory lane” 來對譯 “記憶的台階”，但覺得直譯為 "memory stairs" 也並無不可。Lane  跟 stairs 都是走道，有人喜歡走 lane，有人喜歡走 stairs，只是一種形象比喻，一種修辭手法而已。
