Wang Wei: Blue Stream

Blue Stream

青 溪
言 入 黄 花 川
每 逐 青 溪 水;
随 山 将 万 转
趣 途 无 百 里。
声 喧 乱 石 中
色 静 深 松 里;
漾 漾 泛 菱 荇
澄 澄 映 葭 苇。
我 心 素 已 闲
清 川 澹 如 此;
请 留 盘 石 上
垂 钓 将 已 矣!

 

Qing Xi

Yan ru huang hua chuan
Mei zhu qing xi shui;
Sui shan jiang wan zhuan
Qu tu wu bai li.

Sheng xuan luan shi zhong
Se jing shen song li;
Yang yang fan ling xing
Cheng cheng ying jia wei.

Wo xin su yi xian
Qing chuan dan ru ci;
Qing liu pan shi shang
Chui diao jiang yi yi !

 

Blue Stream

May I say that to enter the Yellow Flower River
Always look for the blue stream waters;
Follow it into the mountains where it takes thousands of turns
Though actually covering just fifty miles.

Traveling over river rocks, one hears the noisy sounds of turmoil
It’s colors and countenance still, deep inside stands of pine trees;
Ripples float and emerge

Making crystal clear reflections on the young reeds.

My heart and mind very simple, quiet and unoccupied.

In this way too, the clear river’s tranquility.
Please remain upon this huge rock.
Later on will take out our line and hooks!
