TUNE: EVERLASTING LONGING

长相思令

The hills near by

一重山，

And mountains high

两重山，

Extend with misty water as far as the sky;

山远天高烟水寒。

The longing maple leaves turn to red dye.

相思枫叶丹。

Chrysanthemums sigh;

菊花开，

Chrysanthemums die.

菊花残，

You don’t come back when wild geese westward fly,

雁已西飞人未还，

A screen of breeze and moonlight left before my eye.

一帘风月闲。
