Sorrow Amidst Joy - Elysian Fields

This is the common fate

Of mortal man

Useless it is to repine

This is the common fate

Of mortal man

Useless

It is to to repine

She’s still in her cradle

When her parents die

Although living in luxury

Who will dote on her

Happily she’s born too courageous

To take a love affair to heart

Like bright moon and fresh breeze

In a hall of jade

She’s matched with handsome husband

May she live with him for long years to make up for her wretched childhood

But over Gaotang Tower

Th clouds disperse

The rivr Xiang runs dry

This is the common fate of mortal man

Useless useless it is to repine

Useless of mortal man

Useless it is to repine

Useless
