Li Bai: loose translations | En | Zh+literal | En+Zh Previous | Next
People ask me why I live in the mountains. I smile but I don’t answer them. I don’t want to stir up trouble. There’s no trouble with clear streams that bear peach blossoms toward the sea. It’s better to leave people alone.
问余何意栖碧山,笑而不答心自闲。 桃花流水窅然去,别有天地非人间。
