In Xuan City to See the Azalea Flowers

 

宣 城 见 杜 鹃 花
蜀 国 曾 闻 子 规 鸟
宣 城 还 见 杜 鹃 花。
一 叫 一 回 肠 一 断
三 春 三 月 忆 三 巴。

Xuan Cheng Jian Du Juan Hua

Shu guo ceng wen zi gui niao
Xuan cheng huan jian du juan hua.
Yi jiao yi hui chang yi duan
San chun san yue yi san ba.

 

In Xuan City to See the Azalea Flowers

In Sichuan, once heard young gui birds
Return to Xuan City to see the azalea blossoms.
One bird cry, one section of my insides cut
Late spring, third lunar month recall several Sichuan places.

 

Notes:

Xuan: City located in southeast Anhui Province.
