西湖 林洪

西湖    林洪 (宋)

山外青山樓外樓，西湖歌舞幾時休。  

暖風薰得遊人醉，直把杭州作汴州。  

The West Lake          Lin Hong (Song Poet)

Mountains beyond mountains, and chambers beyond chambers,

Singing and dancing on the West Lake never need hiatus,
Travellers are intoxicated amidst the soothing zephyr,
Everybody in the court revel in the gorgeosity of Hangzhou, the new capital of the invaders,
And forget the humiliation of Bianzhou, the original capital of the fallen empire.
