Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “A Short-Song Ballad”
bái rì hé duǎn duǎn
白 日 何 短 短
How short is the day
bǎi nián kǔ yì mǎn
百 年 苦 易 满
A hundred years of hardship are easy to fill
cāng qióng hào hào
苍 穹 浩 浩
The vast expense of the sky
wàn jié máng máng tài zhǎng
万 劫 茫 茫 太 长
leads to endless misfortune
má gū chuí liǎng bìn
麻 姑 垂 两 鬓
Ma Gu’s temples drooped
yī bàn yǐ chéng shuāng
一 半 已 成 霜
half of them frosted
bú ruò tiān gōng jiàn yù nǚ
不 若 天 公 见 玉 女
The Heavenly Gld laughed a thousand times
dà xiào yì qiān chǎng
大 笑 亿 千 场
when he saw the Jade Girl
wú yù lǎn liù lóng
吾 欲 揽 六 龙
I want to grab six dragons
huí chē guà fú sāng
回 车 挂 扶 桑
and return to the car to catch Fusang
běi dòu zhuó měi jiǔ
北 斗 酌 美 酒
The Beidou drinks delicious wine
quàn lóng yǐn yī shāng
劝 龙 饮 一 觞
and advises each dragon to have a cup
fù guì fēi suǒ yuàn
富 贵 非 所 愿
Wealth and honor are not what one desires
yǔ rén zhù yán guāng
与 人 驻 颜 光
but rather one’s beauty
bái rì hé duǎn duǎn
白 日 何 短 短
How short is the day
bǎi nián kǔ yì mǎn

A hundred years of hardship are easy to fill
cāng qióng hào hào
