Man Jiang hong Huai zi Yu Zuo
Su Shi in Northern Song Dynasty
The clear water flows eastward, and I look at the river with a sad face, if I have no father to sail.
Official tour, green hills and white waves, thousands of folds.
It is so vain to live up to the seclusion of that year, and now it is so bleak to listen to the rain in the bed.
Hate this life, drift away, add to China.
A bottle of wine, by the Yellow River.
Infinite things, from the beginning.
You two look at me as if you were in front of me, but before you know it, you have passed through the years.
Tears of sadness are faintly visible on my skirt, but the joy on my forehead suggests that I will meet again soon.
On the day of reunion, I will go swimming in the pool with you and look for traces of spring like falling snow.
Translation:
The clear water flows eastward, and I am full of sadness about the looming solitary sails on the river.
In this desolate and relegated place, white waves fly under the green hills, and it is difficult to see you and me thousands of miles away.
At the thought of living up to the promise of seclusion, I lay in bed listening to the rain, which was so sad.
Alas! I deeply regret leaving you in a hurry all my life. This helpless feeling can't help but make my white hair swell.
I presented a bottle of wine on the bank of the Yellow River.
Count your endless past from the beginning.
You and I met that day, as if in front of us, but unconsciously, the long years have passed.
The sad tears on the skirt are still faintly visible, but the happiness between the eyebrows has hinted that you and I will meet again soon.
On the day of reunion, I will swim with you in the pool and look for traces of spring in the falling snowflakes.
