心中结满了愁忧，
愁忧为谁兴？
From whom can I attain entire relief? You are gone and here at home I stay;
这是在为谁痛苦？
念与君生别，只因为和你分别，
We’re kept indeed ten thousand miles away. As there’s no date when we shall meet again, My heart is filled with pangs of woe and pain.
各在天一方。
In hunger just to reunite with you,
各在天的一隅。
良会未有期，
I’m at a loss and know not what to do. Erect I sit all day in selfsame place,
不知要何时才能欢聚，
中心摧且伤。内心无限忧伤。
As if we talked together face to face. Up and up I look to mountain peaks; On and on I look to roads and creeks.
不聊忧餐食，
闷闷地茶饭不思，
Day by day, it’s farther you will go, Day by day, it’s older I will grow.
