万 里 奉 王 事<br />

一 身 无 所 求<br />

也 知 塞 垣 苦<br />

岂 为 妻 子 谋<br />

山 口 月 欲 出<br />

光 照 关 城 楼<br />

溪 流 与 松 风<br />

静 夜 相 飕 飗<br />

别 家 赖 归 梦<br />

山 塞 多 离 忧<br />

与 子 且 携 手<br />

7<br />

不 愁 前 路 修<br />

I came a thousand li to serve his majesty<br />

Wishing nothing in return.<br />

I know <strong>of</strong> the bitterness <strong>of</strong> the frontier<br />

Let alone thoughts <strong>of</strong> my wife and child.<br />

The moon about to rise at the mountain pass<br />

Shines first on the sentry buildings.<br />

Flowing creek and pine winds<br />

Babble and blow together through the still night.<br />

Relying on dreams to return home;<br />

The frontier mountains are full <strong>of</strong> the sadness <strong>of</strong> departure!<br />

Holding your hand,<br />

There is no despair on the long road ahead.<br />
