Analysis of Tz'u No. 6 (Waiting For You)
Li Ching Chao 1804 (Jinan, Shandong) – 1155 (Shaoxing, Zhejiang)
To the tune of "Red Lips"
Lonely in my secluded chamber,
A thousand sorrows fill every inch
of my sensitive being.
Regretting that spring has so soon passed,
That rain drops have hastened the falling followers,
I lean over the balustrade,
Weary and depressed.
Where is my beloved?
Only the fading grassland
stretches endlessly toward the horizon;
Anxiously I watch the road for your return.
