柳中庸: 征人怨/ Liu Zhongyong: A TROOPER'S BURDEN

征人怨

柳中庸

岁岁金河复玉关, 朝朝马策与刀环。

三春白雪归青冢, 万里黄河绕黑山。

 

A TROOPER'S BURDEN

Liu Zhongyong

For years, to guard the Jade Pass and the River of Gold,

With our hands on our horse-whips and our swordhilts,

We have watched the green graves change to snow

And the Yellow Stream ring the Black Mountain forever.
