The South An Army
[Song] Wen Tianxiang
Plum blossom north and south road, wind and rain wet clothes.
Who is out of the mountains? Homecoming so homecoming!
The mountains and rivers have been there for eternity, and the city has not been for a while.
Starve to death Makoto, and walk in a dream.

By WEN Tianxiang
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
The path north and south with plums fills;
My armor’s wet with wind and rain.
Who comes out with me from the hills?
Go back to my town, to my lane.
For eons, there remain hill and rill;
But now desolate the town turns.
To be starved is really my will,
Though in my dream I gather ferns.
