少年聽雨歌樓上，
紅燭昏羅帳。
壯年聽雨客舟中，
江闊雲低、斷雁叫西風。

而今聽雨僧廬下，
鬢已星星也。
悲歡離合總無情，
一任階前、點滴到天明。

In my youth I listened to the rain in houses where singing pervaded,
Surrounded by bed curtains that candlelight veiled.
In my prime I listened to the rain as I travelled by boat,
The river was vast and clouds low, in westerlies trilled wild geese lost on their way.

These days I listen to the rain in the hut of a monk,
My sideburns have turned sparkling grey.
Ever so relentless are the joy of coming together and parting sorrows that follow,
Here I am taking heed of the rain dribbling on the stairs as a new day breaks.
（曾培慈 / Betty Tseng）
