xuán zōng huí mǎ yáng fēi sǐ,
yún yǔ nán wàng rì yuè xīn。
zhōng shì shèng míng tiān zǐ shì,
jǐng yáng gōng jǐng yòu hé rén。
When the Emperor came back from his ride they had murdered Lady Yang –
That passion unforgettable through all the suns and moons
They had led him to forsake her by reminding him
Of an emperor slain with his lady once, in a well at Jingyang Palace.
