Passing by the Northern Mountains

作者：王　湾

翻译：许渊冲

客路青山外，

My boat goes by green mountains high,

行舟绿水前。

And passes through the river blue.

潮平两岸阔，

The banks seem wide at the full tide;

风正一帆悬。

A sail with ease hangs in soft breeze.

海日生残夜，

The sun brings light born of last night;

江春入旧年。

New spring invades old year which fades.

乡书何处达?

How can I send word to my friend?

归雁洛阳边。

Homing wild geese, fly westward please!
