早期比翼赴幽冥，不料中途失健翎。
结发糟糠贫贱惯，陷身囹圄死生轻。
青春作伴多成鬼，白首同归我负卿。
天若有情天亦老，从来银汉隔双星。
Tr by KC Lee
Gliding side by side toward our next lives was the old plan we fixed,
Little did I expect midway to have an otherwise reliable wing clipped.
Hard more than good times since wedding did we endure,
Fearlessly facing down all those jail house threats for sure.
Deaths inevitably do most young lovers part eventually,
For not being with you upon your departure I’m so sorry.
Had the gods been sentimental they too would become much aged,
From times ancient the Milky Way has kept celestial pairs separated.
