Thin and Frail Official’s Heart: The Appearance of River Immortals
临 江 仙
万 事 灰 心 犹 薄 宦
尘 埃 未 免 劳 形。
故 人 相 见 似 河 清。
恰 逢 梅 柳 动
高 兴 逐 春 生
卜 昼 匆 匆 还 卜 夜
仍 须 月 堕 河 倾。
明 年 我 去 白 鸥 盟。
金 闺 三 玉 树
好 问 紫 霄 程。
Lin Jiang Xian
Wan shi hui xin you bo huan
Chen ai wei mian lao xing.
Gu ren xiang jian si he qing.
Qia feng mei liu dong
Gao xing zhu chun sheng.
Bu zhou cong cong huan bu ye
Reng xu yue duo he qing.
Ming nian wo qu bai ou meng.
Jin gui san yu shu
Hao wen zi xiao cheng.
Thin and Frail Official’s Heart: The Appearance of River Immortals
The thin and frail government official’s heart full of a myriad of things turned to ashes and dust
Worldly mud and dust, have to avoid it with all of our labors.
Seeing good friends is like pure and clean river water
Appropriately we meet each other during early spring plum and willow tree flowers.
With spring blossoms we become happy and cheerful
All day long we think of the evening parties.
Waiting for the moonset, we linger at the river bends
Next year I will be like the departing white seagulls.
Multiple jade-like palace trees attractive
Young people journey from afar to experience them and the purple clouds.
