A Spring Outing To The Apricot Blossom Village Poem by Luo Zhihai

春遊杏花村

隨墨漫遊山水，朝晴暮雨，柳岸東風吹到綠
察空通曉雲雷，燕語蘭香，桃園稚蕊染成紅
遇青牛覓村壚，牧笛吹春，滿天煙雨飛唐韻
望黃井生酒意，肆旗弄影，十里杏香醉客容

注：第一二句羅志海作，第三四句曾向家作。


A Spring Outing To The Apricot Blossom Village

I followed ink
roamed the landscape
morning sunny and evening raining
on the willow shore
the east wind blew green

I watched the sky
knew clouds and thunders
swallows twittered and orchids were fragrant
in the peach garden
were dyed red the juvenile pistils

I met the black ox
look for a village hotel
a reed pipe played the spring
smoky rain all over the sky
flew the Tang rhymes

I saw the yellow well
engendered a tipsy feeling
tavern flags shook their shadows
ten miles of the apricot fragrance
intoxicated the passengers' faces
