贈花卿(唐)杜甫
錦城絲管日紛紛,半入江風半入雲。此曲隻應天上有,人間能得幾回聞。
Poem Given to Hua Qing
by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty
In Jin Town string and wind instruments played all day long;
Its sound goes half into winds on the river and half into clouds.
This tune should have only been played in Heaven;
How many times can it be heard on Earth?
