詠懷古跡五首之一 Poetic Thoughts on Ancient Sites I

杜甫 Du Fu

支 离 东 北 风 尘 际 ，
Forlorn in the northeast among wind and dust,
zhī lí dōng běi fēng chén jì ，
漂 泊 西 南 天 地 间 。
Drifting in the southwest between heaven and earth,
piào pō xī nán tiān de jiān 。
三 峡 楼 台 淹 日 月 ，
Lingering for days and months in towers and terraces at the Three Gorges,
sān xiá lóu tái yān rì yuè ，
五 溪 衣 服 共 云 山 。
Sharing clouds and mountains with the costumes of the Five Streams.
wǔ xī yī fú gòng yún shān 。
羯 胡 事 主 终 无 赖 ，
The barbarian serving the ruler in the end was unreliable.
jié hú shì zhǔ zhōng wú lài ，
词 客 哀 时 且 未 还 。
The wandering poet lamenting the times had no chance to return.
cí kè āi shí qiě wèi hái 。
庾 信 平 生 最 萧 瑟 ，
Yu Xin throughout his life was most miserable,
yǔ xìn píng shēng zuì xiāo sè ，
暮 年 诗 赋 动 江 关 。
In his waning years his poetry stirred the land of rivers and passes.
mù nián shī fù dòng jiāng guān 。
