一别都门三改火,天涯踏尽红尘。 依然一笑作春温。 无波真古井,有节是秋筠。 惆怅孤帆连夜发,送行淡月微云。 尊前不用翠眉颦。 人生如逆旅,我亦是行人。
I left the capital three times, and walked through the world. Still a smile brings spring warmth. The calm water is an ancient well, and the strong branches are autumn bamboo. The melancholy sails out at night, and the moon and clouds send me off. No need to frown in front of the wine. Life is like a journey, and I am also a traveler.
