故人西辭黃鶴樓，煙花三月下揚州。
孤帆遠影碧山盡，唯見長江天際流。

故人西辞黄鹤楼，烟花三月下扬州。
孤帆远影碧山尽，唯见长江天际流。

My old friend says goodbye to Yellow Crane Tower in the west
and goes down to Yangzhou in the third month, through a haze of blossom.
The far shape of his lone sail is lost where the blue hills end,
and all I see is the long river flowing to the edge of the sky.
