李白: 送友人/ li bai: a farewell to a friend

送友人

李白

青山横北郭， 白水绕东城。

此地一为别， 孤蓬万里征。

浮云游子意， 落日故人情。

挥手自兹去， 萧萧班马鸣。

　

a farewell to a friend

li bai

with a blue line of mountains north of the wall,

and east of the city a white curve of water,

here you must leave me and drift away

like a loosened water-plant hundreds of miles....

i shall think of you in a floating cloud;
