高峻严寒的钟山顶上，
赫赫炎天路。
Hot lies the scorching road down in the south. The sun is shining over heavenly gates
炎炎酷暑的南方。
高明曜云门，
And sending scorching heat on icy states. Men of lofty aims all through the ages
有权势的人在天路炫耀，
远景灼寒素。
Stick to the noble purpose of the sages. For ninety years among the common men,
远远的影子也把贫人灼烫。
昂昂累世士，
Lii Wang became the teacher of Lord Wen. Once imprisoned when he was a young man,
高尚的贤士不是每代都能产生，
结根在所固。
Guan Zhong became the premier of Duke Huan. Each man may have a fate of different sort;
坚贞的志节就像盘固的树根。
The pity is that human life is short.
