何当共剪西窗烛， 却话巴山夜雨时

· 句意 ·

何时能与你在西窗下共剪烛花，共话如今巴山夜雨之中的思念之情？

表达了向往相聚的强烈愿望。

· 英译 ·

When can we light the candles together beside the western window? When can we talk about the feeling together that we have in such cold raining nightbut separated in two places?

To express the eager wish to meet again.

夜雨寄北
