江上竹枝词
[清]姚鼐
东风送客上江船，
西风催客下江船。
天公若肯如侬愿，
便作西风吹一年。
Bamboo Branch Song on the River
Yao Nai
When the eastern wind blows, my love’s boat upstream goes;
It will come downstream homeward when the west wind blows.
If Heaven should fulfil my hearty wish sincere,
The western wind would blow homeward for all the year.
