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.
