Fleeting World, Past as Smoke
so many passersby in the mortal world
so many past clouds and smoke
a farewell cry
wandering across the vast seas
dancing wind with butterfly sleeves and jade ribbons
how long will the pipa's warmth remain, and how long will the beauty linger?
the fragrance of the beloved fades in dreams, and the beloved vanishes in dreams
the moon rises, just as it always did, illuminating the old love
duo-duo (duo-duo) by the Qin Huai River, the mandarin ducks drunk and dreaming
palaces in the sky, plum blossoms falling like snowflakes
drunken eyes
tears and the beloved's face
the heart is incomplete
love abandoned and lost
a lifetime of separation
yet I still cannot let go of that single stroke
all in vain, only memories linger in these fleeting years
