English Rendering
Heroes in the east rise in revolt,
Attacking traitors like a thunderbolt.
When they raise troops to put rebellions down,
They plan to meet again in the capital town.
As the troops cannot be of one mind,
They hesitate and therefore fall behind.
They begin to fight against each other
And even plot against their own brother.
The younger brother ascends the throne
While the elder keeps a seal of his own.
Meanwhile,the soldiers are beset by lice
And the people suffer worthless sacrifice.
Dead bodies scatter in the open air;
Not even cockcrow is heard anywhere.
The high death rate is beyond belief;
At thought of this,I'm benumbed with grief.
