送別

王維

下馬飲君酒， 問君何所之?

君言不得意， 歸臥南山陲。

但去莫復聞， 白云無盡時。

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."
