Going Across the River
渡 淮
船 旗 衮 衮 经 长 淮
汴 口 人 看 拔 不 开。
昨 夜 南 风 浪 如 屋
果 然 双 节 下 天 来。
Du Huai
Chuan qi gun gun jing chang huai
Bian kou ren kan ba bu kai.
Zuo ye nan feng lang ru wu
Guo ran shuang jie xia tian lai.
Going Across the River
Boat banners, endless footpaths along the wide Huai River
Local population comes out to watch us, move aside to provide room to walk.
Last evening southern winds and waves as big as houses
As expected, arrived here last year to a pair of celebrations.
