王维: 送别/ wang wei: at parting

送别

王维

下马饮君酒， 问君何所之。

君言不得意， 归卧南山陲。

但去莫复闻， 白云无尽时。

　

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."
