与 殷 晋 安 别
游 好 非 久 长
一 遇 尽 殷 勤。
信 宿 酬 清 话
益 复 知 为 亲。
去 岁 家 南 里
薄 作 少 时 邻。
负 杖 肆 游 从
淹 留 忘 宵 晨。
语 默 自 殊 势
亦 知 当 乖 分。
未 谓 事 已 及
兴 言 在 兹 春。
飘 飘 西 来 风
悠 悠 东 去 云。
山 川 千 里 外
言 笑 难 为 因。
良 才 不 隐 世
江 湖 多 贱 贫。
脱 有 经 过 便
念 来 存 故 人。

Gave This to Mr. Yin of Jin’an at His Departure
In a short period of time we have become good friends
With just one encounter, I know your heart is good.
Talking plain words, making toast after toast till one of us has to stay overnight
With more and more, we know our feelings are the same.
Last year I moved to the southern area
Closer to your house, though in a short while you have to leave.
We travel often together with our climbing sticks
Whether we go or stay, day or night, it makes no difference.
Talking, whether using urban or rural vocabulary has different energies
Also we know that someday we will have to part.
Did not really realize that the day would come so quickly
This spring you will have to move from here.
From the west, very soft winds still arrive
Leisurely, the eastern clouds depart.
For hundreds of miles outside, mountains and rivers
These times of talk and laughter difficult to create again.
Good people of ability do not hide from life
Poor and common people like me, live with many rivers and lakes.
If you happen to pass this way, on these ordinary paths again
Come by and think of your old friend.
Notes:
Jin’an: Provincial capital of Shandong.
