[Verse 1] North wind scours the earth; white grass bends. Under Hu skies, eighth-month snow flies. As though the spring wind came one night. Ten thousand pear trees burst in bloom. [Verse 2] It slips through pearl blinds, wets silk tents. Fox fur brings no warmth; brocade is thin. The general's horn bow will not draw. The commandant's iron coat is cold. [Chorus] Desert seas rise with hundred-foot ice. Sullen clouds congeal ten thousand miles. Wine in the camp for the homebound guest. Hu fiddle, pipa, and Qiang flute sound. [Verse 3] At dusk, snow falls beyond the gate. Wind tugs the red flag, frozen still. At Luntai's east gate, I send you forth. Snow fills the Tianshan road you take. [Finale] The mountain road turns; you fade from sight. On snow remains your horse's trail. The mountain road turns; you fade from sight. On snow remains your horse's trail.
