Freddi i campi, la rada pioggia ha smesso
colori di primavera sciamano ovunque.
colori di primavera sciamano ovunque.
Pesci che saltano riempiono lo stagno azzurro
uccelli che cantano abbassano i rami verdi.
I fiori di campo cimentano le guance imbellettate
le erbe di montagna si piegano ad altezzavita.
Presso la corrente di bambù l'ultimo frammento di nube
spinto dal vento si disperde lento.
The fields are chill, the
sparse rain has stopped;
the colours of Spring teem on every side.
With leaping fish the blue pond is full;
with singing thrushes the green boughs droop.
The flowers of the field have dabbled their powdered cheeks;
the mountain grasses are bent level at the waist.
By the bamboo stream the last fragment of cloud
blown by the wind slowly scatters away.

Seduto bevevo e non notai il crepuscolo
finchè petali caduti riempirono le pieghe del mio
abito.
Ebbro mi alzai e andai verso i raggi di luna
volati via gli uccelli, e poche persone.
I sat drinking
and did not notice the dusk,
Till falling petals filled the folds of my dress.
Drunken I rose and walked to the moonlit stream;
The birds were gone, and men also few.
Till falling petals filled the folds of my dress.
Drunken I rose and walked to the moonlit stream;
The birds were gone, and men also few.
