Translation Notes[]
- ↑ "风萧萧兮易水寒，壮士一去不复还。" This phrase is from the Song of Yi River. A more literal translation would be "The winds are shrill, Yi waters cold; the hero goes and never returns."
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 清明 Qing Ming, or Tomb Sweeping Day, is as its name describes. It’s a day of remembrance for those who have passed. Both "西风古道" and "清明雨" reference other ancient poems with somber themes (though these date much later than the famous line starred in this song).
