Lyrics in Pinyin/Mandarin/English of “Elegy for Xiangling”
gēn bìng hé huā yī jīng xiāng
根并荷花一茎香
Roots joined with lotus, one stem’s fragrance
píng shēng zāo jì shí kān shāng
平生遭际实堪伤
A life of hardship truly pitiable
zì cóng liǎng dì shēng gū mù
自从两地生孤木
Since two lands bore a lonely tree
zhì shǐ xiāng hún fǎn gù xiāng
致使香魂返故乡
Her fragrant soul returned home we see
a……
啊……
Ah……
zhì shǐ xiāng hún fǎn gù xiāng
致使香魂返故乡
Her fragrant soul returned home we see
fǎn gù xiāng
返故乡
Returned home
