乃至雁门关。
黄云蔽千里，
My man is far away from me, alas, As far away as distant Yanmen Pass.
游子何时还？
送君如昨日，
The yellow clouds are drifting with the sand, But when will you come back to your homeland?
檐前露已团。
不惜蕙草晚，
It seems that I saw you off just yesterday, But now on eaves the heavy dews will stay.
所悲道里寒。
君在天一涯，
I'm sorry not because I'm growing old, But because you suffer from cold.
妾身长别离。
愿一见颜色，
As you and I are miles and miles apart, Our separation gnaws upon my heart.
不异琼树枝。
菟丝及水萍，
If only I can meet you face to face, The sacred branch can hardly take your place.
所寄终不移。
Just as the dodder vine and duckweed cling,
