南中詠雁 -（唐）韋承慶

 

萬裏人南去， 三春雁北飛。

未知何歲月， 得與爾同歸？

 

Watching Wild Geese on my Way to Exile in the South

— Wei Cheng-qing (Tang Dynasty)

 

I head south, thousands of miles to exile,

As spring geese in a V-shaped file, northward, fly.

I do not know at all which year would smile

Watching me home with ye neath the same sky.

I head south to exile, many a mile,

As spring geese in a V-shaped file, northward, fly.

Ah, I do not know which year ye would smile

Watching me home with ye neath the same sky.
