FAREWELL TO MY LOVE
初赴省别妾于三十里头
It’s easy to get drunk with wine of adieu.
别酒醺醺浑易醉，
Turning my head, I find thirty miles out of view.
回过头来三十里。
My steed won’t stop but fly from mile to mile;
马儿不住去如飞，
I hold its halter for a while,
牵一憩，
And sit down for a while.
坐一憩，
What can I do when severed by hills and rills from you!
断送煞人山与水。
Though glorious task should be undertaken,
是则是功名终可喜，
How can love be forsaken?
不道恩情拚得未！
The streamer of mist-veiled wine shop slants away.
云迷村店酒旗斜。
I may forward go,
去也是，
Or I may stay.
住也是，
To go or stay is for you as for me the same woe.
烦恼自家烦恼你。
