登 金 陵 凤 凰 台
凤 凰 台 上 凤 凰 游
凤 去 台 空 江 自 流。
吴 宫 花 草 埋 幽 径
晋 代 衣 冠 成 古 丘。
三 山 半 落 青 天 外
一 水 中 分 白 鹭 洲。
总 为 浮 云 能 蔽 日
长 安 不 见 使 人 愁。

Climb Gold Hill, Male and Female Phoenix Tower
Walk around the Fenghuang Tower like a phoenix couple
The phoenixes depart, tower now empty, but the river flows on.
Wu palace flowers and grasses conceal deep and remote footpaths
Fancy clothes and hats from the eastern Jin Dynasty become old burial mounds.
Three mountains area, blue skies halfway down to the horizon
Changjiang separates around the white egret islet.
Gathered, floating clouds can cover the sun
Inability to see Chang’an brings anxiety to the people.
Notes:
Fenghuang Tower:
Wu palace: The state of Wu existed during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Jin Dynasty: (265-420)
Changjiang: Also known as the Yangzi River
Chang’an: Ancient capital city now called Xi’an.
