風急天高猿嘯哀，

Gusty winds, sky-high clouds, and woeful apes howl,

渚清沙白鳥飛回。

where birds are hovering over the clear-sanded shaol.

無邊落木蕭蕭下，

Down the falling leaves from vast forest are rustling, 

不盡長江滾滾來。

on and on the endless Long River is rolling in gale.

萬里悲秋常作客，

How many sad autumns have I spent far away from home;

百年多病獨登台。

in this my late day now the ill-ridden I climb up the mountain alone.

艱難苦恨繁霜鬢，

Hardship and poverty have made my hair all turn gray,

潦倒新停濁酒杯。

also make me quit drinking with which I used to let off my steam.
