Lonely Cloud

[Sitting Alone On Jingying Mountain]

flock of birds
flying as high as possible
alone I go leisurely like you
lonely cloud
we both never get tired
of looking at each other
all we do is be here
on Jingying Mountain

Translation by 白狐

["sitting alone on Jingying Mountain //
crowd birds / high fly utmost
lonely cloud / alone go doing-nothing
each-other look-at / both not fed-up-with
only be / respect pavilion mountain"]
