Cen Can. Among the sands

И английский вариант перевода (см. предыдущий пост). По-английски почему-то всегда лучше звучит.



riding     a horse

                 reaching     the sky

                                further     to the western     lands

leaving    home

                 seeing    twice

                                how the moon’s     circle     ends

knowing     not

                 where     to find

                                a lodging     place     for the night                                      

thousand      li

                 and not     a smoke

                                just level     and silent     sands

***

reaching the sky = horizon
the moon's circle ends twice = 2 months
not a smoke (literal transl.) = not a single house around
