Attractive Autumn Waves
秋 波 媚
秋 到 边 城 角 声 哀
烽 照 高 台 火。
悲 歌 击 筑
凭 高 酹 酒
此 兴 悠 哉！
多 情 谁 似 南 山 月？
特 地 暮 云 开。
灞 桥 烟 柳
曲 江 池 馆
应 待 人 来！
Chou Bo Mei
Qiu dao bian cheng jiao sheng ai
Feng zhao gao tai huo.
Bei ge ji zhu
Ping gao lei jiu
Ci xing you zai!
Duo qing shei si nan shan yue?
Te di mu yun kai.
Ba qiao yan liu
Qu jiang chi guan
Ying dai ren lai!
Attractive Autumn Waves
Autumn arrives next to city walls, battle horns with sounds of grief
From a high terrace, beacon fires shine.
The zhu plays sad songs, rely on making wine offerings on this elevated place that is promoting excitement!
Who has many emotions like the moon in the Southern Mountains?
Clouds break apart at sunset for this special land.
Ba River bridge with misty willow trees
More songs over rivers, ponds and inns
People should await for me to arrive!
