Out of Earshot
儋 耳
霹 雳 收 威 暮 雨 开
独 凭 阑 槛 倚 崔 嵬。
垂 天 雌 霓 云 端 下
快 意 雄 风 海 上 来。
野 老 已 歌 丰 岁 语
除 书 欲 放 逐 臣 回。
残 年 饱 饭 东 坡 老
一 壑 能 专 万 事 灰。
Dan Er
Pi li shou wei mu yu kai
Du ping lan kan yi cui wei.
Chui tian ci ni yun duan xia
Kuai yi xiong feng hai shang lai.
Ye lao yi ge feng sui yu
Chu shu yu fang zhu chen hui.
Can nian bao fan dong po lao
Yi he neng zhuan wan shi hui.
Out of Earshot
Impressive thunderbolts and rain, by sunset the sky opens up
Leaning against the boat railing alone, the receding rocks and hills full of power.
Hanging from the clouds and sky, a soft double rainbow
Very comfortable, yet powerful, ocean winds come up.
Already told family and friends I would end my old age here in the boondocks
Now a government decree arrives to end my official exile.
Dongpo only wants from now on to just have a full stomach
Can concentrate affairs onto ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
