Translation:

Leave Baidi City in the Morning

Tang Li Bai

The colorful clouds were floating in the sky when I left Baidi city in the early morning.

Even Jiangling is thousand li away, I would get there just in one day.

I can hear the apes are keeping calling each other on both sides of the river.

Before their calling fades away, my swift boat would've already passed tens of thousands of mountains.
