Live By A Stream Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Live by a Stream

☆ Poetry by Liu Zongyuan (773-819, Tang Dynasty, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


I had so long been troubled by official robe and hat
This demoting to Nanyi fortunately
In leisure, my neighbors are garden and farmland
Like a hill forest guest fortuitously
Plows dew grass at dawn
Listen to the sound of stream stone in toward evening
Don’t meet anyone back and forth
Long to the green sky of Chu, I sing


注：1) 南夷，中国古代南方少数民族的贬称。
2) 楚，唐朝之前，中国古代南方的一个国家。
Note: 1) Nanyi, as a disparaging term for the minority nationality of south of China in ancientry.

★ 溪居

☆ 柳宗元 诗


久为簪组累
幸此南夷谪
闲依农圃邻
偶似山林客
晓耕翻露草
夜榜响溪石
来往不逢人
长歌楚天碧
