Farewell to a Lutist

别 董 大

[唐] 高适（许渊冲译）

Yellow clouds spread for miles and miles have veiled the day;

The north wind blows down snow and wild geese fly away.

Fear not you’ve no admires as you go along.

There is no connoisseur on earth but lovers your song.

千里黄云白日曛，

北风吹雁雪纷纷。

莫愁前路无知己，

天下谁人不识君。
