国破山河在The state is broken; mountains and rivers remain.
城春草木深Spring comes to the city; grass and trees grow deep.
感时花溅泪Moved by the times, flowers draw tears;
恨别鸟惊心hating separation, birds startle the heart.
烽火连三月Beacon fires have burned through three months;
家书抵万金a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
白头搔更短I scratch my white head — it grows thinner,
浑欲不胜簪too thin now to hold a hairpin.
