Chi Bi ~Da Jiang Dong Qu~

Red Cliff ~The Ballad of Chibi~

Watching the grand river east
The waves are surging, thousands of heroes
The small boats dot the river
They are not afraid of death, they will fight to the end
This land is not the same
The green hills will always be there, but who will remember

Amidst the treacherous snakes
The east wind cuts through the bones
Six years of sleepless nights, the sound of the southern insects
At the southern edge of Chibi
The wind and clouds scatter
Only the moon remains in the sky

Looking out to the vast sea and sky
Old friends never return like a dream
The setting sun is red
In the evening

Drinking to forget, mixing to separate
Praising the heavens and the earth, there is difficulty between them
Many emotions come and go
But only the military drum's sound remains
One moment drunk, one moment sober, laughing and crying
People are like dust, drinking to forget, mixing to separate
With you, there is no need for separation
Seeking the moon in the spring breeze and snow

Looking out to the vast sea and sky
Old friends never return like a dream
The setting sun is red
In the evening

Drinking to forget, mixing to separate
Praising the heavens and the earth, there is difficulty between them
Many emotions come and go
But only the military drum's sound remains
One moment drunk, one moment sober, laughing and crying
With you, there is no need for separation

Drinking to forget, mixing to separate
Praising the heavens and the earth, there is difficulty between them
Many emotions come and go
But only the military drum's sound remains
One moment drunk, one moment sober, laughing and crying
Life is always full of separations
In the vast wilderness, the bright moon shines
