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