1, goodbye
Wang Zhihuan [Tang Dynasty]
A willow tree in the spring breeze presents a green color along the royal river bank.
It's not so convenient to have a rest recently. It should be because there are too many people.
Translation:
The spring breeze on both sides of the moat is lined with willows.
There are too many willow branches recently, so there should be too many people to separate.
2. Old grudges
Meng Jiao [Tang Dynasty]
In the bleak autumn season, a couple forced by life can't go to never say goodbye.
At the moment when he was driven away, he faced each other with tears in his eyes and wanted to say something to each other, but he cried before he opened his mouth.
There are thousands of words in my heart, but at this moment, I am too sad to say them.
Don't think that there is only a queen, and heaven remains our neighbourhood.
Translation:
In the bleak autumn season, a couple who lived alone, forced by life, had to say goodbye with bitterness.
At this heartbreaking moment, the eyes of both of them were filled with tears. They looked at each other and wanted to say something to each other, but they cried before they opened their mouths.
There are thousands of words in my heart, but at this moment, I can't tell them because of my sadness.
After parting, to whom can the pain of lovesickness be told? The only thing I can do is the bright moon between the two places, pinning my worries about endless lovesickness.
3. Grandma Pavilion
Li Bai [Tang Dynasty]
The saddest place in the world is this farewell acie law.
Spring breeze will also want to leave the pain of parting, instead of urging this willow tree to turn green.
Translation:
The saddest place in the world is this farewell pavilion.
Spring breeze will also mean the pain of parting, rather than making the willow turn blue.
4. Give it to Li Bai.
Du Fu [Tang Dynasty]
Qiu Lai is very concerned about him, but he is not ashamed of Ge Hong for cinnabar.
Drinking crazy songs for nothing, who is arrogant?
Translation:
Autumn has come, when you and I meet again, we are still like an erratic canopy. I can't help feeling ashamed of Ge Hong because cinnabar hasn't been refined into an elixir.
Drinking and singing, wasting your time, who is a hero like you so brave for?
Step 5 say goodbye
Wang Wei [Tang Dynasty]
Seeing friends off in the mountains, Chai Men is half hidden at sunset.
Spring grass will grow green next year, my friend, will you come back?
Translation:
I saw my friend off in the mountains, and the sunset closed Chai Men.
When the spring grass turns green again next year, my friend, can you give it back to me?
