1. 元和十年，予左迁九江郡司马。明年秋，送客湓浦口，闻舟中夜弹琵琶者，听其音，铮铮然有京都声。问其人，本长安倡女，尝学琵琶于穆、曹二善才，年长色衰，委身为贾人妇。遂命酒，使快弹数曲。曲罢悯然，自叙少小时欢乐事，今漂沦憔悴，转徙于江湖间。予出官二年，恬然自安，感斯人言，是夕始觉有迁谪意。因为长句，歌以赠之，凡六百一十六言，命曰《琵琶行》。

1. In the tenth year of the Yuanhe era, I was left迁 (deposed) to the post of the Prefect of Ji'an Prefecture. The following autumn, while sending off a guest at the Penpu Port, I heard someone playing the pipa at night on the boat. Listening to the sound, it was clear and resonant, reminiscent of the capital's style. Upon inquiry, I learned that the person was originally a singing girl from Chang'an, who once learned the pipa from two skilled musicians, Mu and Cao. Now, as she aged and her beauty faded, she had entrusted herself to become the wife of a merchant. I then ordered wine and asked her to play several melodies joyfully. After she finished playing, she looked melancholic and recounted her joyful experiences from her childhood. Now, she was wandering aimlessly, exhausted, and drifting between the mountains and rivers. Having been exiled for two years, I was content and at ease. Inspired by her words, that night I realized the feeling of being exiled. I wrote a long poem, sang it to her as a gift, totaling 616 characters, and titled it "The Pipa Journey."
