Rough and Dark--Cold Mountain Trail

Hanshan Rough and dark--Cold Mountain trail, Sharp cobbles--the icy creek bank. Yammering, chirping--always the birds, Bleak, alone, not even a lone hiker. Whip, whip--the wind slaps my face, Whirled and tumbled--snow piles on my back. Morning after morning I don't see the sun, Year after year, not a sign of spring.

Yǎoyǎo Hánshān Dào

Hánshān Yǎoyǎo Hanshan dào, Luòluò lěng jiàn bīn. Jiūjiū dāng yǒu niǎo, Jìjì gèng wúrén. Xīxī fēng chuī miàn, Fēnfēn xuě jī shēn. Cháocháo bùjiàn rí, Suìsuì bùzhī chūn.
