相逢不覺又初寒，
對尊前，
惜流年。
風緊離亭，
冰結淚珠圓。
雪意留君君且住，
從此去，
少清歡。

轉頭山下轉頭看，
路漫漫，
玉花翻。
銀海光寬，
何處是超然。
知道故人相念否，
攜翠袖，
倚朱欄。

We met, and without our noticing the first cold has come again.
Facing the wine cups,
we grieve for the passing years.
The wind is sharp at the parting pavilion;
the ice has frozen tears into round pearls.
The snow wants to keep you: stay a while, stay,
for once you go
there will be little pure joy here.

Below Turning-Head Hill I turn my head to look:
the road is long, so long,
the jade flowers whirl.
The silver sea of snow is wide with light:
where is the Chaoran Terrace?
Do you know that your old friend is thinking of you,
with green sleeves beside him,
leaning on the vermilion rail?
