王维: 送别/ Wang Wei: AT PARTING

送别

王维

下马饮君酒, 问君何所之。

君言不得意, 归卧南山陲。

但去莫复闻, 白云无尽时。

 

AT PARTING

Wang Wei

I dismount from my horse and I offer you wine,

And I ask you where you are going and why.

And you answer: "I am discontent

And would rest at the foot of the southern mountain.

So give me leave and ask me no questions.

White clouds pass there without end."
