Ambition
Author: Du Fu
Three cities are garrisoned with white snow in the Xishan Mountains, and there are thousands of miles of bridges on the Qingjiang River in Nanpu.
The wind and dust in the sea are separated by brothers, and the tears are far away at the end of the world.
But in his old age, he was often sick, and there was no chance to answer the holy pilgrimage.
When I walked out of the suburbs astride my horse, my eyes were filled with unbearable depression.
Translation
The Xishan Mountains are covered with snow all year round, and the three cities are heavily garrisoned;
The Wanli Bridge in the southern suburbs crosses the mighty Jinjiang River.
There have been wars all over the country for years, and several brothers have been cut off from each other;
How miserable is it that I am the only one who is separated from each other and that we are far away from each other?
But I will give my twilight years to my sickly body;
I have not yet had any merit to repay the wise Holy Emperor.
I ride horses alone on outings, often looking far and wide.
The world is getting worse day by day, which is really unimaginable.
