At the Yellow Crane Tower
黄 鹤 楼 送 孟 浩 然 之 广 陵
故 人 西 辞 黄 鹤 楼
烟 花 三 月 下 扬 州。
孤 帆 远 影 碧 山 尽
唯 见 长 江 天 际 流。
Huang He Lou Song Meng Hao Ran Zhi Guang Ling
Gu ren xi ci huang he lou
Yan hua san yue xia yang zhou.
Gu fan yuan ying bi shan jin
Wei jian chang jiang tian ji liu.
At the Yellow Crane Tower, Sending Off Meng Haoren, Who Is Going To Guang Ling
Old friends going west from the Yellow Crane Tower
Clouds of March blossoms on the way to Yangzhou.
Solitary sail reflected in the distance, disappears into the bluish-green mountains
Only see the Changjiang flow to the end of the sky.
