Poems Scattered on the Silk-Road(3)

少年行（其一）
王维
新丰美酒斗十千，
咸阳游侠多少年。
相逢意气为君饮，
系马高楼垂柳边。

Young Chivalrous Men
Wang Wei
(?-761)
(I)
More chivalrous travelers fostered in Xianyang Town,
Drinking newly-harvested good wine were the young
The teenagers reunited and drank to encourage you;
By the mansion fastening their horses with the willow.
（Tr. Z. Manfield）

渭城曲
王维
渭城朝雨浥轻尘，
客舍青青柳色新。
劝君更尽一杯酒，
西出阳关无故人。

A FAREWELL SONG
Wang Wei
No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain;
The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green.
I invite you drink a cup of wine again;
West of the Sunny Pass no more friends will be seen.
（X.Y.Z.）

咸阳城西楼晚眺
许浑
一上高城万里愁，
蒹葭杨柳似汀洲。
溪云处起日沉阁，
山雨欲来风满楼。
鸟下绿芜秦苑夕，
蝉鸣黄叶汉宫秋。
行人莫问当年事，
故国东来渭水流。

GAZING AFAR IN THE EVENING FROM
THE WEST TOWER OF XIANYANG
Xu Hun
On city wall I see grief spread for miles and miles;
O'er reeds and willow trees as planted on fiats and isles.
The sun beneath the cloud sinks o'er waterside bower;
The wind before the storm fills the mountainside tower.
In the wasted Qin garden only birds fly still;
'Mid yellow leaves in Han palace cicadas shrill.
O wayfarer, don't ask about the days gone by!
Coming from east, I hear only the river sigh.
（X.Y.Z.）

陇西行
陈陶
誓扫匈奴不顾身，
五千貂锦丧胡尘。
可怜无定河边骨，
犹是春闺梦里人。

THE RIVERSIDE BATTLEGROUND
Chen Tao
They would lay down their lives to wipe away the Huns;
They've bit the dust, five thousand sable-clad brave sons.
Alas! Their bones lie on riverside battleground,
But in dreams of their wives they still seem safe and sound.
（X.Y.Z.）
