水面初平雲腳低。 water is levelled and clouds are hanging low.
幾處早鶯爭暖樹, Scrambling for sunny trees, early orioles trill,
誰家新燕啄春泥。 pecking vernal mud in, swallows shuttle to and fro.
亂花漸欲迷人眼, A riot of color from blossons begin to dazzle my eyes,
淺草才能沒馬蹄。 shallow grass hides the horse hoofs that can barely be seen.
最愛湖東行不足, I linger on the east of the lake that under the sky,
綠楊陰裏白沙堤。 where the White Sand Bunk is shaded by willows green.
FYI, 錢塘湖 is 西湖.
