[北驅漢陽傳]
by Du Fu北驅漢陽傳
南泛上瀧舠
王室仍多故
蒼生倚大臣
[ first you’ll ride north by carriage to Hanyang]
by Du Fufirst you’ll ride north by carriage to Hanyang
then you’ll sail south down the Shuang River
the imperial court still suffers from disorder
ordinary people depend on you as an official
translated from Chinese by George Life
