1 琵琶三疊回首看 Thrice the pipa played and turning back for a look,
2 昭君路長風吹寒 Such is a long arduous journey for Wang Chao Chun.
3 沙雁北飛故鄉南 The grey anser flies north while home is far in the south,
4 今生恩情來世望 Whatever affection we may have, let’s hope for it in the next lifey.

3 literally, “the sand anser” because it lives on sandbars of rivers. They are migratory birds which can be seen flying through the western desert regions as if leaving their homeland in China. See also #2 for a story relating to the ansers and Wang Chao Chun.

Ansers usually refer to relationships between husband & wife or lovers.
4 All kinds of relationships – familial, friends, man and woman or whatever. A known world is left behind for one that is unknown.
