TUNE: SONG OF MOUNTAIN PASS AND RIVER
关河令
Autumn’s now cloudy and now fine,
秋阴时晴渐向瞑，
Gradually on the decline.
变一庭凄冷。
It turns dreary and chill
伫听寒声，
In a courtyard still.
云深无雁影。
I stand to listen to cold breeze;
更深人去寂静，
In thick clouds I see no wild geese.
但照壁孤灯相映。
No one is left deep in the silent night,
酒已都醒，
But lonely candle sheds on lonely walls its light.
如何消夜永？
Awake from wine and autumn song,
How can I pass this endless night so long?
