Grass Bai Juyi

Cão

Lí lí yuán shang cão

Yi sui yi kü rong

Yé huo shão bú in

Chûn fêng chui you shêng

Yuan fang qin gú dão

Qing cui jie huang chéng

You song wáng sûn qù

Qi ai mán bié ding

Part part plain on grass
One year one wither flourish
Prairie fire burn not destroy
Spring wind blow again life
Distant fragrance invade old path
Clear emerald meet ruined town
Again see off noble friend go
Crowded full parting feeling
   The grass is spreading out across the plain,
Each year, it dies, then flourishes again.
It's burnt but not destroyed by prairie fires,
When spring winds blow they bring it back to life.
Afar, its scent invades the ancient road,
Its emerald green overruns the ruined town.
Again I see my noble friend depart,
I find I'm crowded full of parting's feelings.    

草

离离原上草

一岁一枯荣

野火烧不尽

春风吹又生

远芳僈古道

晴翠援荒城

又送王孙去

姜姜满別情
