English Rendering
Twenty kings have reigned in the House of Han,
But the former king employs a wavering man.
Like a monkey dressed in man's attire,
He is ignorant but tricky,a perfect liar.
As he hesitates to put rebellion down,
The king is then abducted out of town.
When the rainbow lies across the sun,
The evil omen means that his life is done.
Dong Zhuo usurps the power in great haste;
He kills the king and lays the capital to waste.
The House of Han is in peril during the clashes;
The ancestral temple soon is burnt to ashes.
The king has to move his throne to the west,
The people sob on the way,deeply distressed.
When I look at the former capital town,
I feel a pang of sorrow for the crown.
