赠花卿(唐)杜甫
锦城丝管日纷纷,半入江风半入云。此曲只应天上有,人间能得几回闻。
Poem Given to Hua Qing
by Du Fu of Tang Dynasty
In Jin Town string and wind instruments played all day long;
Its sound goes half into winds on the river and half into clouds.
This tune should have only been played in Heaven;
How many times can it be heard on Earth?
