Singing: Anonymous
Word: Li Shutong
Song: John Pond Ordway.
Beside the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass is blue
The evening breeze blows the flute, and the sunset is beyond the mountain.
In the corner of the world, close friends are separated.
A pot of turbid wine will make you happy, so don't go to Meng Han tonight.
Beside the ancient road outside the pavilion, the grass is blue
When will you return this? Don't hesitate to come.
In the corner of the world, close friends are separated.
As we all know, it is the hardest to get together and it is very difficult to leave.
Extended data creation background:
The tune of this song comes from John Pond Ordway's American song Dream of Home and Mother. Dreaming of home and mother is an "artist's song", which was popular in America in the late19th century. It is led by a white actor who painted his face, playing a black man, and the music is written in the style of black songs.
When Li Shutong was studying in Japan, the Japanese lyricist Tong Qiuxi wrote a lyric called "Sorrow of Travel" with the melody of dreaming of home and mother. Li Shutong's Farewell is based on Ningen's Sorrow of Travel.
