Night Time Boat Trip on the Xiang River

夜渡相水

客 舟 贪 利 涉
暗 里 渡 湘 川。
露 气 闻 芳 杜
歌 声 识 采 莲。

榜 人 投 岸 火
渔 子 宿 潭 烟。
行 侣 时 相 问
涔 阳 何 处 边?

 

Ye Du Xiang Shui

Ke zhou tan li she
An li du xiang chuan.
Lu qi wen fang du
Ge sheng shi cai lian.

Bang ren tou an huo
Yu zi su tan yan.
Xing lu shi xiang wen
Cen yang he chu bian?

 

Night Time Boat Trip on the Xiang River

Hire a boat and guide, seeking calm waters
Night crossing of the Xiang River.
Moist air fragrant with pear blossoms
Melodious sounds, aware of the lotus gatherers.

Boatman poling us toward the lights
People living in their boats, around deep misty pools.
My travel companions ask each other
Where are the outskirts of Cen Yang ?

 

Notes:

Xiang River: Largest river in Hunan Province, and a major tributary to the Changjiang.

Cen Yang: A village along the Xiang River.
