On the sunside of rock and stone
Sits the town of Kangding
Ancient as song and change

On the shadowside of thunder
Woodcutters and cooks watch
Dragonflies and phoenix

Ghosts and frost, maidens high
Up on the clouds beneath mountain cover
When they look down you just might die

Let others recite their encyclicals
While we chase flanks of smoke falling
On jade and willow, cassia and prayer

Let us recall winter plums in gauze windows
Toast the spring's solitary moon
And hope again to meet in dream

Water unburdened by reflection
Phantoms unbothered by light
Love untethered to tradition

Let us run, cohere to sun
Twirl in rays of melting rain
Against the sod and slope of Kangding

Let us swoon, cohere to moon
Sink into beds of pine among shine, listening
For kingfisher and drake, wind and dawn, singing

Lovely maid with a smile so sweet
Li the woodcutter's daughter
Zhang the blacksmith's eldest's son
Came through moonlight to court her
Moonlight shines bright
Came through moonlight to court her

Let us run, cohere to sun
Let us swoon, cohere to moon
Twirl in rays of melting rain
Sing of all that might not change 

Lovely maidens of the world
I cannot but love you
Gentlemen folk of the world
They cannot but woo you

In the hills of Kangding
In the vales of Kangding
In the watchful evergreens
And purple starlit dreams

In the moonlight cresting over Kangding
In the moon's dharma over Kangding
In the stars and moons shining
In the stars and moons that shine
