还似洞庭波。
常山临代郡，
A scene so similar to that in Dongting Lake. In town and town across the borderland,
亭障绕黄河。
心悲异方乐，
Bulwarks near the Yellow River stand. I am so sad to hear a northern song,
肠断陇头歌。
薄暮临征马，
Especially sad The Song of Mount Long. With my horse by my side near end of day,
失道北山阿。
Near the northern mount I lose my way.
