Full text of Liangzhou ci

Tang Dynasty: William Wang

Pu Tao luminous cup, want to drink pipa immediately.

Drunk lying on the battlefield, you don't laugh, there have been several wars in ancient times.

In the middle of Qin dynasty, flowers and birds had stopped, and the sandstorm outside the Great Wall was still cold.

Listening to Hu family folding willows at night reminds people of Chang 'an.

At the banquet, mellow grapes and wine were packed in exquisite luminous cups, and geisha played pipa to entertain them. The soldiers were filled with pride at the thought of crossing the horse to kill the enemy and serve the country.

You must get drunk today, even on the battlefield. The second time I went out to serve my country, I was dying, but I was not ready to come back alive. It's already late spring. If you want to be in your hometown, it must be when the colorful flowering period has passed, the leaves are flourishing and the fruits begin to grow. Birds must also be building fragrant nests, competing for food and brooding.

But the Great Wall is still windy, dusty and cold. In the evening, the soldiers listened to the bleak Hu Jian song "Folding Willow", which aroused their fond memories of their hometown.
