滚滚长江东逝水

杨慎

 

滚滚长江东逝水，浪花淘尽英雄。是非成败转头空。青山依旧在，几度夕阳红。
白发渔樵江渚上，惯看秋月春风。一壶浊酒喜相逢。古今多少事，都付笑谈中。

 

The rolling Yangzi waters fade to the east, carrying with them all heros.

Right, wrong, success, or failure crumbles into mere vainity within a head-turn.

Only the green mountains remain as the sun sets day after day.

 

The white-haired fisher on the river is long used to the changes of the years.

Meeting old pals over a pot of muddy moonshine is enough to bring him joy.

Tales throughout history melt in their rap and peals of laughter.
