Ferry Crossing at Ligu
李 固 渡
洪 河 万 里 界 中 州
倒 卷 银 潢 聒 地 流。
列 弩 燔 梁 那 可 渡？
向 来 天 数 亦 人 谋！
Li Gu Du
Hong he wan li jie zhong zhou
Dao juan yin huang guo di liu.
Lie nu fan liang na ke du?
Xiang lai tian shu yi ren mou!
Ferry Crossing at Ligu
Zhongzhou on the Yellow River, which is our border for thousands of miles
Moving in eddies and rapids, it noisily flows part silver and part yellow.
How can the northern nomads cross over this river to steal and burn our villages?
They could have never bothered us if we took better care of our country.
