A Farewell to Mr. Du

By Wang Bo

        I'm so sad to see you're leaving

        for the five river area amongst the far away mist and dust

        While I still remain here in the capital city 

        surrounded by all the walls and posts

        Adding to the sad feeling is the fact that 

        we are both already being away from our hometowns

        But knowing that somewhere out there lives a friend like you 

        comforts my heart and soul

        The long distance of separation is nothing to us

        cuz we are spiritually bonded so closely 

        which feels just like you are living next door

        So let's be upbeat 

        and hold off bursting into tears like a teenager

        at the final parting moment
