WRITTEN AT THE WEST CAPITAL
西都作
I am in charge of mountains and rivers divine,
我是清都山水郎,
Heaven tells me to be free to give order mine.
天教分付與疏狂。
I have commanded rain to fall and wind to blow
曾批給雨支風(fēng)券,
And asked the cloud to stay and the moon to go.
累上留云借月章。
Thousands of verses fine,
詩萬首,
Hundreds of cups of wine,
酒千觴,
I’ve only looked down upon the lords in power.
幾曾著眼看侯王?
I would never go back high in my golden tower,
玉樓金闕慵?xì)w去,
But drunk in the west capital with the mume flower.
且插梅花醉洛陽。
