Cold Crag Refuge
A Good Place To Settle
|
Hanshan (Tang)
I wanted a good place to settle,
Cold mountain would be safe.
Light wind in a hidden pine,
Listen close, the sound gets better.
Under it a grey-haired man,
Mumbles along reading Zhuang and Lao.
For ten years I haven't gone back home,
I've even forgotten the way by which I came.

Hánshān (Táng)
Yù de ānshēn chǔ,
Hánshān kě chāng bǎo.
Wēifēng chuī yōu sōng,
Jìn tīng shēng yù hǎo.
Xià yǒu bān bái rén,
Nánnán dú Huānglǎo.
Shínián guī bù de,
Wàngquè lái shí dào.
