Farewell Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Farewell

☆ Lyrics by Li Shutong (1880-1942, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road
Fragrant grass green connecting with the sky
Fluting sobs and evening breeze blows willows
Mountains outside mountain, setting sun shines
At horizon and world corner
Half familiars are scattered
In joy empty a dipper of full-bodied wine
Else dream is cold tonight

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road
Fragrant grass green connecting with the sky
You’ll come back, I ask you what time
When you’ll be coming, not wander
At horizon and world corner
Half familiars are scattered
Life hard to get happily together
There are only more separations


注：李叔同（1880—1942），和尚，著名音乐家、美术教育家、书法家、戏剧活动家，是中国话剧的开拓者。
Note: Li Shutong (1880-1942) , a monk. And a famous musician, art educator, calligrapher, drama activist. He is the pioneer of Chinese drama.

★ 送别

☆ 李叔同 歌词

长亭外，古道边
芳草碧连天
晚风拂柳笛声残
夕阳山外山
天之涯，地之角
知交半零落
一瓢浊酒尽余欢
今宵别梦寒

长亭外，古道边
芳草碧连天
问君此去几时来
来时莫徘徊
天之涯，地之角
知交半零落
人生难得是欢聚
惟有别离多
