镜中张枣
In the mirror, Zhang Zao

只要想起一生中后悔的事
So long as one thinks of the regrets of one’s entire life

梅花便落了下来
the plum blossoms then fall down

比如看她游泳到河的另一岸
for example, watching her swim to the other shore of the river

比如登上一株松木梯子
for example, climbing up a pine-wood ladder

危险的事固然美丽
dangerous things are certainly beautiful

不如看她骑马归来
but are not as good as watching her return on horseback

面颊温暖羞惭。
her cheeks warm, ashamed / bashful

低下头，回答着皇帝
lowering her head, answering the emperor

一面镜子永远等候她
a mirror forever waits for her

让她坐到镜中常坐的地方
letting her sit in the place she often sits within the mirror

望着窗外，
gazing out the window,

只要想起一生中后悔的事
so long as one thinks of the regrets of one’s entire life

梅花便落满了南山
the plum blossoms then cover South Mountain
