Where is the lonely autumn night? There are clouds floating on the Qingjiang River in Leng Yue.
Old vines and faint crows, small bridges and flowing water.
The ancient road is sparse, the sun sets, and heartbroken people are in the end of the world.
Lonely autumn night, where am I looking for the river flowing quietly in the cold and bright clouds?
Withered vines, old trees, crows flying in the sunset, bridges and people under running water.
On the ancient road, the west wind blows, thin horses, the sunset gradually sets, and people who have left their homes are like wandering at the end of the world.
