王维 勸君更盡一杯酒, 西出陽關無故人。 Of wine, won't you drink one last cup with me? West beyond Yang Pass, no old friends you'll see!

【渭城曲】(送元二使安西)  王维


渭城朝雨浥輕塵,
客舍青青柳色新。
勸君更盡一杯酒,
西出陽關無故人。


 

WEI CHENG QU: "Song of Wei Town" (Farewell to Yuan Er on His Mission to Anxi)
-- by WANG WEI (701-761)
  

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

The morning rains cleanse light dusts off Wei town;
The inn and green willows put on fresh gown.
Of wine, won't you drink one last cup with me? 
West beyond Yang Pass, no old friends you'll see!
