倦客恶离声。
离声断客情，
So roaming men detest the parting vows. The roaming man is sad at the word “part”;
宾御皆涕零。
来宾和车夫都涕泪零零。
For guests and drivers, too, tears also start. With tears in eyes, he sets out on his way,
涕零心断绝，
将去复还诀。
Comes back again and has a word to say. A short-time separation gives him woe,
临走又频频回首告别亲朋。
一息不相知，
Let alone to distant land he’ll go. Long and tedious is the journey on the way;
何况异乡别。
更何况这远行长久离分。
Dim and dark becomes the end of day. When those who stay at home have gone to bed,
遥遥征驾远，
杳杳白日晚。
The roaming man has just been barely fed. When night wind in the fields begins to blow,
夕阳黯黯已近黄昏。
居人掩闺卧，
The roaming man is filled with deepest woe. He finds it sour to eat plums on the way;
住家人都已关门睡下，
行子夜中饭。
He feels the cold wearing hemp all day. E'en when he hears guests talk and music play,
旅行人半夜才得餐饮。
野风吹秋木，
The worried man will not be happy and gay. When he sings aloud to get relief,
行子心肠断。
He sinks still more profoundly into grief.
