Chang'an commoner all compare number Be locked in weigh gate watch surround wall Old people not go grow weeds Child without worry walk wind rain Rain sound sough and sigh hasten early cold West goose wing wet high fly hard Autumn come have not see white sun Mud dirt after earth what time dry |
In Chang'an there are so many ordinary people, Locked behind their gates and guarding their walls. The old men don't go out, the weeds grow tall, Children blithely walk through wind and rain. The rustling rain hastens the early cold, And geese with wet wings find high flying hard. This autumn we've had no glimpse of the white sun, When will the mud and dirt become dry earth? |
