灞陵行送别

[唐] 李白

送君灞陵亭，灞水流浩浩。

上有无花之古树，下有伤心之春草。

我向秦人问路歧，云是王粲南登之古道。

古道连绵走西京，紫阙落日浮云生。

正当今夕断肠处，鹂歌愁绝不忍听。

We part at the Old Pavilion 

             Li Bai

The river flows its water cold . 

Above we see trees not in bloom .

Below the venal grass in gloom .

I ask a wanderer if we go astray ;

 He says an ancient poet took this way .

The way extends to the west capital , 

Where floating clouds at sunset veil the palace hall 

Heart-broken here and now I part with you. 
How can we bear to hear songs of adieu?
