TUNE: EVERLASTING LONGING

长相思

A STATION IN THE MOUNTAINS

山驿

The stations far and nigh

短长亭，

Show griefs new and gone by.

古今情，

A halo encircles the cold moon over the bower;

楼外凉蟾一晕生，

Autumn seems clearer after a shower.

雨余秋更清。

At dusk clouds barring the sky

暮云平，

Hang as low as mountains high.

暮山横，

Rustling autumn leaves and wild geese sing sad and drear;

几叶秋声和雁声，

But the roamer won’t hear.

行人不要听。
