Happy Return to the Court In Reply to Su Jian
归朝欢
和苏坚伯固
I dream my leaflike boat on the vast lake afloat,
Snowlike waves surge up for miles and whiten the air.
I wake to find Mount Lu resplendent to my eye,
Blue cliffs upon blue cliffs open against the sky.
I’ve suffered setbacks all my life long;
You and I sing alike the roamer's song.
Dreaming of boating on the lake,
I like the thrilling scene when awake,
And feel as happy as the shuttle flies.
我梦扁舟浮震泽, 雪浪摇空千顷白。
觉来满眼是庐山， 倚天无数开青壁。
此生长接淅，
与君同是江南客。
梦中游，
觉来清赏，
同作飞梭掷。
You will set sail in western breeze tomorrow;
I'll croon in tears for you a new verse full of sorrow.
When Poet Qu is gone, the Southern Mountain’s bare.
Sweet orchids and clovers will lose their hue
Like the poet of Willow Branch Song, you
Will go farther southwest.
But you may compose as a guest.
And then who says
The modem age cannot surpass the bygone days?
明日西风还挂席， 唱我新词泪沾臆。
灵均去后楚山空， 澧阳兰芷无颜色。
君才如梦得，
武陵更在西南极。
《竹枝词》，
莫摇新唱，
谁谓古今隔？
