You ask me why do I dwell in these green mountains,
But I smile without a reply, only an easy mind.
The river flows away silently, bearing the fallen peach blossoms,
Here is another world, but not the world of men. (Li Bai)

You ask me why do I dwell in these green mountains, But I smile without a reply, only an easy mind. The river flows away silently, bearing the fallen peach blossoms, Here is another world, but not the world of men.
