歌词翻译 (English)
Snow
My country's northern scenery:
A thousand li encased in ice,
Ten thousand li of swirling snow.
The noble Wall surrounded on both sides
By only blank totality.
The Yellow River's epic stretch
Locked into place, its torrents stilled.
The mountains, dancing silver snakes,
The highlands, charging elephants,
Triumphantly competing with the heavens' lofty height.
And come a clear day,
The land adorned with sunlight, draped in white,
Seduces all who bear its sight.
That wondrous view, so dear and tender all at once,
Moved countless heroes, bowing from their waists, to pay their due homage.
Alas, for Zheng of Qin and Wu of Han
Grasped not the art of poetry,
While Zong of Tang and Zu of Song
Had not virile minds nor forms.
A generation's pride and joy,
The fierce and mighty Genghis Khan,
Knew only how to shoot the condors up above the steppes.
They are but history,
For those who seek a greater figure yet
Must look toward this age alone.
