Reflections upon the Past (2) to the tune of Singing Loud in Tipsiness
醉高歌·感怀(二)
Smoky willows along the shore are vague and vast,
岸边烟柳苍苍,
In the river on waters cold shades are cast,
江上汉波漾漾。
I chant in a low voice the Yangguan Pass the old farewell song,
阳关旧曲低低唱,
For fear travelers break their hearts sinking in days by gone.
只恐行人断肠。
