Mandarin Lesson

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.”

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。
