Another, from the Chinese of Chen Cao'an

《山坡羊》

晨雞初叫

昏鴉爭噪

那箇不去紅塵閙

路遙遙

水迢迢

功名盡在長安道

今日少年明日老

山　依舊好

人　憔悴了

To the tune, "Goats on the Mountainside."

The rooster crows at break of day,

At dusk the ravens squawk and fuss,

Who isn't busy making noise and raising clouds of dust?

The highway stretches far,

And the water flows away;

Everyone is city-bound and hopes to be a star,

And they'll be old tomorrow who are young and fresh today.

The hills

Will always last,

But men

Get ground down fast.
