Peking Opera Ancient City Meeting Lyrics

Hanging up the seal and sealing the gold, resigning from the minister of the Han Dynasty,

The horses were busy in picking up the robes at Ba-Ling,

Thousands of miles of single-horseback riding in search of my elder brother,

The journey was windy and frosty all the way out of Xuchang.

Passing the five hurdles and decapitating six generals,

Bidding farewell to Guo Chang in the Yellow River battle,

Leaving at dawn and sleeping at night on the Yangguan Pass,

Starving and thirsting for food and drink, we were busy on the road.

Leaving the horse at a standstill,

The green dragon sword is leaning across the saddle bridge,

Though Cao Mengde treats me with kindness and righteousness,

Mounted on the horse gold and dismounted on the horse silver wine and red robes.

My title is not small,

Does it mean that I have forgotten the old friends I had back then?

Today, we met in the ancient city,

The three brothers did not miss our friendship in the Peach Garden.

Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.

This is the day we lost our friendship.

The only way to say goodbye to Cao was with a small invitation,

The Ba Ling Bridge was the place where I gave my robe to say goodbye to Cao.

It was a difficult journey for me to secure my second wife,

and I had to cut down six generals on the way to get through five hurdles.

The Yellow River is the bank of the river,

Wen Yuan met him on the way,

Sending the diploma out of the Tiger Prison to Ru Nan again.

Looking at the ancient city not far from here,

and take a rest under the pine forest.
