天门山(1)

Tianmenshan

Viewing the Tianmen Mountain

望天门山

By  Li Bai  A. D. 725

作者：李白  公元725年

The split in the Tianmen Mountains allows the Chu River to flow,

天门中断楚江开，

the blue waters running east turns to eddies here.

碧水东流至此回。

Green cliffs on both sides gradually unfold themselves,

两岸青山相对出，

after a solitary sail is coming from where the sun sheds its light.

孤帆一片日边来。
