Afar We Roam, Where, Where?—To the Tune of Spring Comes from the SkyForeword: In Hui Ning I met an old woman good at the lute. She said she used to be a court singer, hence the composition.Afar we roam, where, where?Han’s courts, Qin's Halls look now so drear;With dews the fire worms glare.Where we see palaces rare.The dancers sing, ringing in the air.The old court music she plays,How could Nymphs compare?She plucks the strings fast,Like orioles that chirrup,Like a creek that flows clear.A singing girl in the court o'erthere,She has spent her best, her best e'er.Now grey sparks deck her hair.War drums in the Mid-plain stirsSnow flying above the Dragon's square.In the doleful tune of the lute,I see the moon chill the window,While the lamp flickers here.译者简介：
