Tune: "Sumuche Dancers"

Blue cloud sky
Yellow leaf ground
Autumnal waves
Under cold blue mist.
Hills catch the setting sun, sky and water merge.
Unfeeling, fragrant grasses grow
On and on past the setting sun.

Unhappy homesick soul
Obsessed with travel cares—
Night brings no relief
Except when pleasant dreams prolong the sleep.
Don't look out the high window when the moon shines—
The wine in your melancholy heart
Will turn to tears of longing.
