Send Off Northern Visitors, Lonely Again, Send This By Post to My Xuzhou Brothers

江 南 送 北 客 因 凭 寄 徐 州 兄 弟 书
故 园 望 断 欲 何 如?
楚 水 吴 山 万 里 佘。
今 日 因 君 访 兄 弟
数 行 乡 泪 一 封 书。
Jiang Nan Song Bei Ke Yin Ping Ji Xu Zhou Xiong Di Shu

Gu yuan wang duan yu he ru?
Chu shui wu shan wan li she.                                                                                                 Jin ri yin jun fang xiong di
Shu xing xiang lei yi feng shu.

 

From Jiangnan Send Off Northern Visitors, Lonely Again, Send This By Post to My Xuzhou Brothers

What is it like hoping to go back to my hometown in the future?
Chu rivers and Wu mountains more than three thousand miles away.

Because of today’s visit from my brothers
One sealed letter with a number and series of hometown-longing tears.
