Sent North On A Rainy Night, A Chinese Poem Of Li Shangyin In Translation Poem by Ravi Kopra

You ask me whem will I return
I cannot give you the time
When autumn rains fall on Ba hills
the pools overflow with water
So let's blow off the candle
by the western window
move closer and snuggle
and talk of night rains on Ba hills.

-a rendering from a literal translation on web pages

You ask return time not be time
Ba hill night rain rise autumn pool
When with together trim west window candle
Same speak Ba hill night rain time
