By Heaven Above: 1st Century B.C. Chinese folk song

zdunno03's avatarLeonard Durso

By heaven above
I want us together, heart and mind, my love,
want it destiny on and on, without breach or fail.

Not till mountains have no peaks
and rivers run dry,
not till thunder fills winter days
and summer rains turn to snow,
not till all heaven and earth blur
together, my love, will I part from you.

translated by David Hinton
