Original text:

The thin pillow is cold, and it feels like parting at first. It's colder to get up and sleep. After all, I can't sleep, and the night is as long as years.

I also intend to stay, but I will return to Levi; I have plans to fight for resistance again. Ten thousand kinds of thoughts, many solutions, only loneliness and fatigue. This is my life, and I have shed a thousand tears for you.

Translation and annotation

After a nap, I was awakened by a thin quilt, and suddenly I felt an unspeakable sense of parting. Tossing and turning, I counted the number of knocks on the door on a cold night, got up and went to sleep again. Repeatedly tossing, I can't sleep, and the night is as long as a year.

I also intend to rein in my horse and return, but there is nothing I can do. I have embarked on the road of making a living and becoming famous. How can I return for nothing? Thousands of thoughts, always trying to enlighten and explain in various ways, can only be so lonely and boring in the end I will keep you in my heart all my life, but I have failed your endless sad tears!
