张可久·《四块玉·乐闲》英译

远是非，

寻潇洒。

地暖江南燕宜家，

人闲水北春无价。

一品茶，

五色瓜，

四季花。

Enjoying Leisure

Zhang Kejiu

I keep away from gossip,
I seek the unconventional.

The earth is warm: in the South the time is ripe for swallows to nest;

Man is at leisure: north of the river spring is priceless.

Seven kinds of tea,

Five-colored melons,

Four seasons of flowers.
