南關 Nanguan, South Pass, just to the south of Xian (Changan)
Farewell
|
Wang Wei (701 — 761)
Seeing off my friend
in the mountains, I close
the wooden fence door
after myself at nightfall.
The grass will turn green
again in the spring, year
after year. When will
he come back?

Wánɡ Wéi 701-761
Shān zhōnɡ xiānɡ sònɡ bà,
Rìmù yǎn cháifēi.
Chūncǎo nián nián lǜ,
Wánɡsūn ɡuī bu ɡuī?

Notes: [大意]在山中為友人送行後,暮色裏掩上院中的柴門。山裏的舂草年年都要泛綠,不知那時我的朋友會不會回來。
