TRANSLATIONS:
"山外青山楼外楼,西湖歌舞几时休。暖风熏得游人醉,直把杭州作汴州!寒雨连江夜入吴，平明送客楚山孤。洛阳亲友如相问，一片冰心在玉壶。""Beyond the hills green mountains lie, next to mansions stand edifices of more,Singing and dancing on and around the West Lake never draw to a close.Getting intoxicated on the scent of warm breezes are wayfarers,Who takes Hangzhou for capital Bianzhou, as if all is well, good as gold! Tonight, in to Wu, o’er the River, it rains of sleet so keen;At dawn, alone you’ll depart, by the Chu hills in between.My kin and kith in Luoyang, should after me they ask --My heart is ice immaculate, abiding in a vessel pristine. "
