Separation From Dear Ones
Cáo Xuěqín
Three thousand Li
She must sail through wind and rain
Giving up her home
And her own flesh and blood
But afraid to distress their declining years in tears
She tells her parents don't grieve for your child
From of old good luck and bad
Partings and reunions decreed by fate
Although from now on we'll dwell far a part
Let us still live at peace
Don't worry about
Your unworthy daughter
