Wang Zhihuan's The Song Of Liangzhou (1 Of 2)黃河遠上白云間 Poem by Frank Yue

- a translation of Wang's Tang poem

The long, long River Yellow
Winds up amidst the distant white clouds;
A lone fort stands on guard high
On the steep mountain-side.

To the grieving, weeping willows
A homesick soldier's flute complains loud -
For the Spring breeze never blows past
The desolate Jade Gate Pass.



《涼州詞》王之渙

黃河遠上白云間，　　一片孤城萬仞山。

羌笛何須怨楊柳, 　 春風不度玉門關。


涼州詞：又名《涼州歌》。為當時流行的一種曲子（《涼州詞》）配的唱詞。
