烏衣巷 劉禹錫

烏衣巷         劉禹錫(772-842)

朱雀橋邊野草花，烏衣巷口夕陽斜。  

舊時王謝堂前燕，飛入尋常百姓家。  

The Black Array Alley      Liu Yuxi (772-842)

By the Vermillion Birds Bridge there teems with wild grasses and blows,

On the Black Array Alley the setting sun glows,
The swallows that used to nestle in the halls of the high and powerful,
Have now moved their nests into the ordinary households
