Tune：Calming the Waves by Su Shi

莫听穿林打叶声，

Listen not to the rain beating against the trees.

何妨吟啸且徐行。

Why don't you slowly walk and chant at ease?

竹杖芒鞋轻胜马，

Better than saddled horse I like sandals and cane.

谁怕?

O I would fain

一蓑烟雨任平生。

Spend a straw-cloaked life in mist and rain.

料峭春风

吹酒醒，

Drunken, I'm sobered by vernal wind shrill

微冷，

And rather chill.

山头斜照却相迎。

In front I see the slanting sun atop the hill;

回首向来萧瑟处，

Turning my head, I see the dreary beaten track.

归去，

Let me go back!

也无风雨也无晴。

Impervious to wind

, rain or shine, I'll have my will.
