Meaning.

My hut lies in the middle of a dense forest;

Every year the green ivy grows long.

No news of the affairs of men,

Only the occasional song of the woodcutter.

The sun shines and I mend my robe.

When the moon comes out, I read Buddhist poems.

I have nothing to report my friends.

If you want to find the meaning, stop chasing so many things.
