关山三五月，
When the moon is full on the mountain pass,
客子忆秦川。
The frontier guard is thinking of
思妇高楼上，
Qinchuan.
当窗应未眠。
In my town there stands upstairs my lass,
星旗映疏勒，
Who faces windows thinking of her man.
云阵上祁连。
The stars are gleaming o'er the
战气今如此，
Tartar state;
从军复几年？
The clouds are looming o'er the northern spheres.
