The whole poem: 山外青山楼外楼，西湖歌舞几时休？暖风熏得游人醉，直把杭州作汴州。 'Green hills beyond green hills, towers beyond towers: when will the singing and dancing on West Lake ever stop? The warm breeze makes the pleasure-seekers so drunk they take Hangzhou for Bianzhou.' Bianzhou, today's Kaifeng, was the Northern Song capital lost in 1127.
