From Dongwu, Send Off Visitors Amid the Snow: (River City Wall)
东 武 雪 中 送 客: 江 城 子
相 从 不 觉 又 初 寒
对 尊 前,惜 流 年。
风 紧 离 亭,冰 结 泪 珠 圆。
雪 意 流 君 君 不 住
从 此 去,少 清 欢。
转 头 山 上 转 头 看
路 漫 漫,玉 花 翻。
银 海 光 宽
何 处 是 超 然。
知 道 故 人 相 念 否
携 翠 袖,倚 朱 栏。
Dong Xue Zhong Song Ke: (Jiang Cheng Zi)
Xiang cong bu jue you chu han,
Dui zun qian, xi liu nian.
Feng jin li ting, bing jie lei zhu yuan.
Xue yi liu jun jun bu zhu,
Cong ci qu, shao qing huan.
Zhuan tou shan shang zhuan tou kan
Lu man man, yu hua fan.
Yin hai guang kuan,
He chu shi chao ran.
Zhi dao gu ren xiang nian fou,
Xie cui xiu, yi zhu lan.
From Dongwu, Send Off Visitors Amid the Snow: (River City Wall)
Follow each other, do not feel the onset of cold
Facing each other with wine, regret the quick passing of time.
Pressing wind telling you not to depart.
Ice forms like round pearls and teardrops Traces of drifting snow expects you not to stay.
From this departure, the lack of any joy
At Zhuantou Mountain turn around to look above.
A very long road, snow like a field of flowers
Wide and broad landscape like a silver ocean
Where is my Chaoran Terrace.
Do you know of an old friend still thinking of you
Holding green sleeves, lean on a bright red fence.
