TUNE: JOY OF MEETING

相见欢

The east wind blows away all riverside mume flowers,

东风吹尽江梅，

And orange blossoms blow.

橘花开。

In ancient Wu palaces, before the bowers,

旧日吴王宫殿，

Green mosses grow.

长青苔。

The empire’s rise and fall

今古事，

Make heroes all

英雄泪，

Shed tears untold

老相催。

And men grow old.

长恨夕阳西去，

How I regret the sun sinks on the western side

晚潮回。
