滾滾長江東逝水

楊慎

 

滾滾長江東逝水，浪花淘盡英雄。是非成敗轉頭空。青山依舊在，幾度夕陽紅。
白發漁樵江渚上，慣看秋月春風。一壺濁酒喜相逢。古今多少事，都付笑談中。

 

The rolling Yangzi waters fade to the east, carrying with them all heros.

Right, wrong, success, or failure crumbles into mere vanity within a head-turn.

Only the green mountains remain as the sun sets day after day.

 

The white-haired fisher on the river is long used to the changes of the years.

Meeting old pals over a pot of muddy moonshine is enough to bring him joy.

Tales throughout history melt in their rap and peals of laughter.
