Early Morning Return Home
早 归
春 靜 晓 风 微
凌 晨 带 酒 归。
远 山 笼 宿 雾
高 树 影 朝 晖。
饮 马 鱼 惊 水
穿 花 露 滴 衣。
娇 莺 似 相 恼
含 啭 傍 人 飞。
Zao Gui
Chun jing xiao feng wei
Ling chen dai jiu gui.
Yuan shan long su wu
Gao shu ying zhao hui.
Yin ma yu jing shui
Chuan hua lu di yi.
Jiao ying si xiang nao
Han zhuan bang ren fei.
Early Morning Return Home
Dawn light breezes in a calm and quiet springtime
The approaching morning, my return leads to wine.
Distant mountains covered with overnight fog
Tall trees cast their shadows with the dawn’s sunshine.
Horse drinking river water startles the fish
Dewdrops on the blossoms penetrate my clothes.
Delicate orioles irritate each other
Nearby they draw closer, chirping louder they fly away.
