| Forty li through Chü-yang Pass |
|
|
| The Sage has the Six Classics |
|
|
| All my friends can write them |
|
|
| While an official, I never wrote lyrics |
|
|
| Don't ask about the Six Dynasties of the Sui Palace |
|
|
| Of all the famous Hangchou sights |
|
|
| There was no reason to expect sadness |
|
|
| The Mountain pavilion is silent — few people visit me here |
|
|
| Of my flesh and blood, only one remains |
|
|
| I planned to get drunk to ease my sadness |
|
