白日依山尽 bai ri yi shan jin
黄河入海流 huang he ru hai liu
欲穷千里目 yu qiong qian li mu
更上一层楼 geng shang yi ceng luo
Day after day
The Yellow River flows into the sea
Desperate
Take it to the next level
Google… this is classical Chinese poetry. Not rap music.
Here’s my translation.
“The bright sun to the mountain goes
the yellow river to the ocean flows
the poor desire to see a thousand miles more
then climb up to a higher floor”
Maybe baidu does it better? Surprisingly it doesn’t do much better (usually fanyi.baidu.com does a better job than google translating Chinese).
Day by day
The flow of the Yellow River into the sea
in order to see far away
Take it to the next level
Maybe yandex??
Day by day
Yellow River into the sea
For a thousand miles
To the next level.
*sigh*.
