West Lake on a vulnerable misty day
West Lake Bamboo Branch Tune (1)

Yang Weizhen 1296-1370
I warn you not to scale High South Mountain,
You warn me not to scale High North Mountain.
High South shrouded in mist,
High North saturated with rain,
Mixing
mist and rain together
will surely screw you up!

Quàn Wǒ mò shàng Běigāofēng.
Nan Gāofēng yún Běigāo yǔ,
