| and the sun's feet disappear under the horizon | B |
| Sparrows noisy over the brushwood door | C |
| I am a traveler home after a thousand miles | D |
| My wife and children are startled to see me alive | E |
| The surprise ends but they can't stop wiping tears | F |
| In the chaotic world I was tossed about | G |
| I've found my way home alive by accident | H |
| Neighbors crowd over our garden walls | I |
| They are moved sighing and even weeping | J |
| In deep night we hold candles | K |
| facing each other as if in dream | L |
| - | |
| I live my late years as if I've stolen my life | M |
| Very few joys after I returned home | N |
| My little son never lets go of my knees | O |
| afraid I will go away again | P |
| I remember I liked to chase cool shade | Q |
| so I walk under trees by the pond | R |
| Whistling the north wind is strong | S |
| I finger past events and a hundred worries fry in my mind | T |
| However the crops are harvested | U |
| wine spurts from the mouth of the flask | V |
| and I have enough to fill my cups | W |
| and console me in my dusk | X |
| - | |
| A group of chickens make chaos | Y |
| and fight each other as guests arrive | E |
| I drive them up bushes and trees | O |
| before I hear knocking on my brushwood gate | Z |
| four or five village elders greet me | A2 |
| and ask about my long absence | B2 |
| Each of them brings a gift in hand | C2 |
| Their wines pour out some clear some muddy | A2 |
| They apologize for their wine so watery | A2 |
| as there was no one to grow millet | D2 |
| Weapons and horses can't rest yet | E2 |
| the young men are gone on the expedition east | F2 |
| I offer a song for my old village folks | G2 |
| feeling deep gratitude | H2 |
| After singing I sigh and throw back my head | I2 |
| and tears meander down our faces | J2 |
