TUNE: RIVERSIDE TOWN

Like northbound swan and southward-flying swallow fleet,

By chance we meet;

Sadly we greet.

We see no more dark hair and beaming face of then

But two old men.

Don’t ask about the long, long years since we did part!

What wrings the heart,

Keep it apart!

Draw from this vat rice wine we made in spring,

Every drop glistening.

There’s no hurry. Fill our golden cup!

Having drunk up,

Like flowers fallen on the stream we go our way.

We’ll meet someday,

But who knows where? The misty waves stretch far and nigh,

Cloudy the evening sky.

江城子

南来飞燕北归鸿，

偶相逢，

惨愁容。

绿鬓朱颜，

重见两衰翁。

别后悠悠君莫问，

无限事，

不言中。

小槽春酒滴朱红，

莫匆匆，

满金钟。

饮散落花流水各西东。

后会不知何处是，

烟浪远，

暮云重。
