杜秋娘
quàn jun1 mò xī jīn lǚ yī ,quàn jun1 xī qǔ shǎo nián shí 。
劝君莫惜金缕衣,劝君惜取少年时。
huā kāi kān shé zhí xū shé ,mò dài wú huā kōng shé zhī 。
花开堪折直须折,莫待无花空折枝。

THE GOLD-THREADED ROBE
Covet not a gold-threaded robe,
Cherish only your young days!
If a bud open, gather it --
Lest you but wait for an empty bough.
