[Verse]
Forty years of history are like smoke and clouds
Three thousand miles of mountains and rivers are etched in my heart
The towering palace reaches the horizon
Once glorious, now unseen
[Pre-Chorus]
Precious plants and trees float in the mist
Glory fades and becomes blurred
Who knew war would suddenly strike
In an instant, nothingness remains, only helplessness
[Chorus]
Hastefully bidding farewell to the ancestral temple, tears blurred my eyes as I stroked the old poems
The pain of life and death cannot be quenched
The maidens shed tears, knowing only that
[Verse]
Captured and trapped in sorrow, my body emaciated, my hair tangled in sorrow
Old dreams are hard to find, where can I find them?
Fate is cruel, who can resist it?
[Pre-Chorus]
The sound of parting echoes in my ears
I still remember yesterday's joy and playfulness
Now trapped in a foreign land, my lonely shadow stained by tears
[Chorus]
Hastefully bidding farewell to the ancestral temple, tears blurred my eyes as I stroked the old poems
The pain of life and death cannot be quenched
The maidens shed tears, knowing only that
[Verse]
Forty years of history are like smoke and clouds

Who knew war would suddenly strike
In an instant, nothingness remains, only helplessness

Hastefully bidding farewell to the ancestral temple, tears blurred my eyes as I stroked the old poems
The pain of life and death cannot be quenched
The maidens shed tears, knowing only that

Captured and trapped in sorrow, my body emaciated, my hair tangled in sorrow
Old dreams are hard to find, where can I find them?
Fate is cruel, who can resist it?

Now trapped in a foreign land, my lonely shadow stained by tears
