Untitled to the tune of Life-giving Sun
寿阳曲·无题
The popular tune for one thousand years,
千年调，
Once stops in men's ears,
一旦空，
There is left in the wind only paper money for ghosts people burn,
惟有纸钱灰晚风吹送。
No matter how bitterly the beak-bleeding cuckoo bird calls "home, home return,"
尽蜀鹃血啼烟树中，
Alas, no longer is the spring dream called back in cheers.
唤不回一场春梦。
