千研复万镂，
In war years, loyal officers serve the state.
上刻秦女携手仙。
To their wise king they are always loyal
承君清夜之欢娱，
And give up their lives for the native soil.
列置帏里明烛前。
I’ll give you fine wine in a golden cup,
外发龙鳞之丹彩，
And carved lute in jade and tortoise case
内含麝芬之紫烟。
A feather drape of coloured hibiscus
如今君心一朝异，
And quilts adorned with grape designs and lace.
对此长叹终百年。
As red blooms fade when it comes to year’s end,
