Hear the roll of our drums !
See how we leap about , using our weapons !
Those do the fieldwork in the State , or fortify Cao ,
While we alone march to the south .
We followed Sun Zizhong ,
Peace having been made with Chen and Song;
[But] he did not lead us back ,
And our sorrowful hearts are very sad .
Here we stay , here we stop ;
Here we lose our horses ;
And we seek for them ,
Among the trees of the forest .
For life or for death , however separated ,
To our wives we pledged our word .
We held their hands ; —
We were to grow old together with them .
Alas for our separation !
We have no prospect of life .
Alas for our stipulation !
We cannot make it good .
