此乃粵劇紅伶 鳳凰女和麥炳榮手本戲,當中有「虛榮誤我濕青衫⋯⋯君莫嗟、君莫嘆,終有日 春風吹渡玉門關」⫿句,催人聯想好一對癡男怨女,分隔天涯,倩女僅能於湖光山色處搖橹輕舟一葉,對江猶唱,泣血世間情為何物。
“The Love and Death of the Palace” is a famous Cantonese opera. The lyric goes, ‘Vanity has ruined my life and has made me weep…. Please don’t feel despaired, one day the spring wind of love will blow again.’ Until then the couple is pulled apart. Now all the girl can do is row a boat, and sing melancholic songs to her lone self.
