终南别业-At My Villa on Mount Zhongnan
终南别业
王维
中岁颇好道,晚家南山陲。
兴来每独往,胜事空自知。
行到水穷处,坐看云起时。
偶然值林叟,谈笑无还期。
At My Villa on Mount Zhongnan
Wang Wei
When middle-aged, to believe in Tao I liked so.
Growing old, I come to dwell on Mount Zhongnan’s edge.
Whene’er I please, alone to the Mountain I’ll go
And enjoy things that don’t come to others’ knowledge.
Sometimes I’ll trace a stream to where it ends its flow;
Sometimes I’ll sit down the rising clouds to look at.
If I chance to meet in the woods an old fellow,
Forgetting to go home, we’ll have a long, cheerful chat.
