“When will I be home? I don’t know.
In the mountains, in the rainy night,
The Autumn lake is flooded.
Someday we will be back together again.
We will sit in the candlelight by the West window.
And I will tell you how I remembered you
Tonight on the stormy mountain.”

time of parting,
winds fade and
flowers wait.
Time drug until we met,
even more in parting,
Spring winds fade,

But doomed to leave old friends behind me,
I cry out from my heart for Shin-Fêng wine
To melt away my thousand woes.”
