I. Original text

White horse decorated with gold, flying northwest. Excuse me, who is the family? You are a ranger. Young people go to villages and towns, raising their voices and hanging in the desert. I used to have a good bow, but my arrows were uneven. If the string is controlled to break the left, the right hair will destroy the moon branch. Raise your hand to catch flies and bend down to lay horseshoes. Smarter than monkeys and apes, as brave as leopards. There are many policemen in the border town, and the number of soldiers and riders is also moving.

Feathers come from the north, and horses climb the embankment. The dragon drove to the Huns, and the left looked around and led Xianbei. Give up your life on the blade, and your life will be safe? Parents don't care, how can we talk about children and wives! A famous person is a strong person, and he can't be selfish. Forget the national disaster at the risk of life, and suddenly feel life and death.

Second, translation.

Drive a white horse to the northwest and put on a golden harness at once. Someone asked him whose child he was, the hero knight errant on the border. He left his hometown at a young age and went to frontier fortress to make great achievements. Go to the frontier fortress and make great achievements. After hard work, I have developed a martial arts. Draw your bow and shoot an arrow around the full moon. An arrow hit the bull's eye. Qi Fei hits the target "Moon Branch", then turns around and hits the target "Horseshoe".

He is more agile than an ape and as brave and light as a leopard. It is said that the national border is in a hurry and the invaders invade the mainland again and again. Urgent letters came from the north frequently, and the ranger urged his horse to jump on the high embankment. Lead a great army straight into the enemy's nest to level the Xiongnu, and then return to Li to sweep Xianbei to expel the enemy.

In the face of swords and swords on the battlefield, I never take peace and danger to heart. Even parents can't be filial, let alone take care of their children and wives. First and last names are listed on the list of soldiers, and personal interests have long been forgotten. Dedicated to the crisis of the country, watching death is like returning to your hometown.
