【英译】 Farewells to Bogu's
Return to the Wu Region (Lyrics to the Melody of Green
Jadeite Bowl) (Such
Shi) For the past three years I've dreamt of being
on my way to the region of Wu. Here I send along my dog with ochre
fur to accompany you. Once you arrive at the Pine River asking to
the waters cross, startle not mandarin ducks and herons there.
Everywhere all round the famed four bridges is where Lao Zi once
trod. I peruse the Wang River Collection to gather
vernal evening sights, and often premier-turned-hermit Wang Wei's
verses recite. Once a date of return has been set I hope for
heaven's nod. Hope it is still the time for spring clothes that
were sewn by my lovely maid, which once were dampened by showers of
the West Lake.
