关山月-The Moon over the Mountain Pass
关山月
李白
明月出天山，苍茫云海间。
长风几万里，吹度玉门关。
汉下白登道，胡窥青海湾。
由来征战地，不见有人还。
戍客望边邑，思归多苦颜。
高楼当此夜，叹息未应闲。
The Moon over the Mountain Pass
Li Bai
From the Tian Mountain rises the moon bright；
In a vast sea of clouds it shines its light.
Across ten thousands of li far has blown
The wind to sweep the Yumen Pass well-known.
Han’s troops once to Mount Baideng made their way；
Later， the Tartars seized the Qinghai Bay.
None from those battlefields can e’er be found，
Through the ages， to have returned safe and sound.
Giving the borderland a look painful，
Homesick frontier guards their long faces pull.
Their wives in high chambers this very night
Must have heaved endless sighs for their sad plight.
