TUNE: SONG OF A SOUTHERN COUNTRY

 

FAREWELL TO A FRIEND

Turning my head, I find rugged mountains bar the sky,

I can no longer see you in the town.

Who can be like the hilltop tower looking down,

So high?

It welcomed you from the west and bids you goodbye.

I come back at dusk in a gentle breeze.

On chilly pillow how can I dream with ease?

Where will the flickering lamp shed its lonely light

Tonight?

When autumn rain no longer falls drop by drop,

Oh, will tears stop?

南乡子

送述古

回首乱山横，

不见居人只见城。

谁似临平山上塔，

亭亭，

迎客西来送客行？

归路晚风清，

一枕初寒梦不成。

今夜残灯初照处，

荧荧，

秋雨晴时泪不晴。
