蜀道难（英文版）

作曲：于清龙

演唱：环尼宝贝

Alas! How steep! How high

The road to Shu is harder than climbing to the sky

Since Can Cong and Yu Fu founded the state

So many years have passed in a state of oblivion

Some forty-eight thousand years have gone by

With no intercourse with the land of Qin

To the west

 above Taibai Mountain, there's a bird track

Which cuts across the crest of Mount Emei

The earth crumbled and mountains toppled

 burying the brave men

And then stone ladders and plank roads were linked up

Above, the sun is turned back by the lofty peaks where six dragons drive the

sun-chariot

Below, the torrential rapids and whirling eddies dash back the flowing waters

Even the yellow crane can't fly over it

The gibbons would worry about scaling it

How winding is the Green Mud Path

It winds around the crags and peaks with countless twists and turns

When I touch the stars and pass by the well, I hold my breath in awe

I sit and heave long sighs

stroking my chest with my hand

May I ask when you will return from your journey to the west

The dreadful path with its craggy rocks is impossible to climb

I only see sad birds crying in the ancient trees

The male flying and the female following, circling the woods

I also hear the cuckoo crying under the moonlit night sky

Saddening the empty mountains

The road to Shu is harder than climbing to the sky

Hearing this makes one's complexion fade

The continuous peaks are less than a foot away from the sky

Withered pine trees hang upside down

leaning against the sheer cliffs

The flying torrents and cascading waterfalls vie with each other in roaring

The swirling waters and rolling stones thunder through thousands of valleys

So perilous is it

Alas, why do you people from afar come here

The Jianmen Pass is lofty and precipitous

One man guards the pass

 and ten thousand cannot force it open

If the guards are not trustworthy relatives

They will turn into wolves and jackals

In the morning

 avoid the fierce tigers

In the evening

avoid the long snakes

They gnash their teeth and suck blood

Killing people like hemp

Although the City of Brocade is said to be a pleasant place

It's better to return home early

The road to Shu is harder than climbing to the sky

Leaning to the west and looking afar

 I heave long sighs
