One Layer of Mountains, Two Layers of Mountains (Thinking of Each Other For a Long Time)

 

一 重 山 两 重 山: 长 相 思
一 重 山,两 重 山。
山 远 天 高 烟 水 寒。
相 思 枫 叶 丹。
菊 花 开,菊 花 残。
塞 雁 高 飞 人 未 还。
一 帘 风 月 闲。
Yi Cong Shan, Liang Chong Shan: (Chang Xiang Si)

Yi cong shan, liang chong shan
Shan yuan tiao gao yan shui han.
Xiang si feng ye dan.

Ju hua kai, ju hua can.
Sai yan gao fei ren wei huan.
Yi lian feng yue xian.

 

One Layer of Mountains, Two Layers of Mountains (Thinking of Each Other For a Long Time)

One layer of mountains, two layers of mountains
Mountains remote, tall sky with frozen waters and mists.
Thinking of the red maple tree leaves.

Chrysanthemum blossoms open, chrysanthemum flowers fall down in pieces.
High-flying wild geese arrive, my man has yet to return
One curtain, winds and moon not a part of her.
