Zhousheng and Shiyi

Suihan shines brightly here, Dreams may shatter, Yet the mountains and rivers remain;

Zhuzhou falls into desolation, Qiongzhou grows cold and frigid;

Only the heroic visage persists today.

In the vast and desolate expanse, Within the Dingguo Capital, Governing the affairs of the Nine Provinces;

For ninety years, With a king in Hanzhong, the world was at peace.

Born of nature, My dream finally awakens, Only then do I realize how many kings I have known.

The Cui Clan has a daughter, Shiyi, Deeply infatuated with this, Yet she knows not what she should feel.

From whence does love arise;

From whence does loyalty begin.

I would rather the rebels included you, Than wait for the bone-deep agony and the hatred of having my wife stolen.

I wish that in the next life, we may be mandarin ducks playing in the water, with candles burning to the bone behind red curtains;

I wish that in the next life, the Lover's Bone may withstand the drying of the years;

May the years be long and eternal.
