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."
