The City Of Choan Lyrics

The phoenix are at play on their terrace.
The phoenix are gone, the river Hows on alone.
Flowers and grass
Cover over the dark path
where lay the dynastic house of the Go.
The bright cloths and bright caps of Shin
Are now the base of old hills.

The Three Mountains fall through the far heaven,
The isle of White Heron
splits the two streams apart.
Now the high clouds cover the sun
And I can not see Choan afar
And I am sad.

Genius Annotation

Chinese Original
登金陵鳳凰台
鳳凰台上鳳凰游,鳳去台空江自流。
吳宮花草埋幽徑,晉代衣冠成古丘。
三山半落青天外,二水中分白鷺洲。
總為浮雲能蔽日,長安不見使人愁。
