-- Translated by H.A. Giles

Near these islands a palace was built by a prince,
But its music and song have departed long since;
The hill mists of morning sweep down on the halls,
At night the red curtains lie furled on the walls.
The clouds o'er the water their shadows still cast,
Things change like the stars: how few autumns have passed.
And yet where is that prince ? Where is he ? - No reply,
Save the splash of the stream rolling ceaselessly by\.

-- Translated by P. Demiéville

Le haut pavillon du prince de T'eng se dresse près de l'ilôt du fleuve;
Les jades de ceinture et les grelots de char se sont tus.
Autour des piliers peints volent, à l'aube, les vapeurs des rives du Sud;
Le store de perles roule en ses plis, le soir, la pluie des monts de l'Ouest.
Les nuages oisifs, au fond de l'eau, se reflètent comme autrefois.
Tout change, les astres mêmes évoluent; combien d'automnes ont passé ?
Le fils de l'Empereur, hôte de ce pavilon, où est-il aujourd'hui ?
Et le Grand Fleuve coule tout seul, en vain, de l'autre côté des clôtures...
