The Immortal by the River (临江仙) - By Su Dongpo - Ricchio - 04-18-2022
Drinking through the night at East Slope,
still drunk on waking-up,
I return home around midnight.
My house-boy snores like thunder,
no answer to my knock.
Leaning on my stick, listening to the river,
I wish this body belonged to someone else.
When can I escape this turmoil?
In the deep night, with the wind still, the sea calm;
I’ll find a boat and drift away,
to spend my final years afloat,
trusting to the river and the sea.
临江仙
夜饮东坡醒复醉，
归来彷佛三更。
家童鼻息已雷鸣。
敲门都不应，
倚仗听江声。
长恨此身非我有，
何时忘却营营！
夜阑风静縠纹平。
小舟从此逝，
江海寄余生。
