Yang Wanli: Ten Viewpoints of the Autumn Rain

 

Ten Viewpoints of the Autumn Rain

秋 雨 叹 十 解
不 是 檐 声 不 放 眠
只 将 愁 思 压 衰 年。
道 他 滴 沥 浑 无 赖
不 到 侯 门 舞 袖 边!
Qiu Yu Tan Shi Jie

Bu shi yan sheng bu fang mian
Zhi jiang chou si ya shuai nian.

Dao ta di li hun wu lai
Bu dao hou men wu xiu bian!

 

Ten Viewpoints of the Autumn Rain

Not the sounds coming from the eaves that is causing me to be unsettled
Thinking of farmer sorrows, I am old enough to realize some seasonal weather is abnormal.

Dripping water drops are not welcomed
They should go to the gates of the high officials and long-sleeved dancers.
