Listen to a River Flute, Send Off Lu Shiyu
听 江 笛 送 陆 侍 御
远 听 江 上 笛
临 觞 一 送 君。
还 愁 独 宿 夜
更 向 郡 斋 闻。
Ting Jiang Di Song Lu Shi Yu
Yuan ting jiang shang di
Lin shang yi song jun.
Huan chou du su ye
Geng xiang jun zhai wen.
Listen to a River Flute, Send Off Lu Shiyu
In the distance hear flute sounds above the river
Facing wine cups, I send you off.
Still melancholy arrives as one sleeps through the night
From my prefecture building room, still hear the flute playing.
