English translation

English Meaning

Yellow leaves fall on the desolate garrison; with high spirit you leave the old pass. High winds await at the Hanyang ferry; the rising sun, over the hills of Yingmen. On the river, how many old friends remain? From the sky's edge a lone oar returns. When shall we meet again? Then a cup of wine will comfort our parting faces.
