lyrics

東漢末年 盛時即消 天下裂璺
In the twilight years of the Eastern Han, with past glory faded, the lands under heaven fracture.
蒼天業逝 宦腐王朝 饑饉薦臻
The azure sky has fallen, eunuchs corrupt the imperial court, famine ravages the empire.
訌始之際 三欺詐者 將民反叛
At the first sign of strife, three deceivers rise, leading the people to rebellion.
黃天當立 歲迄甲子 江山大亂
The yellow sky has risen, and at the start of the sexagenary cycle, chaos upheaves the realm.

英雄發穎 一試矛兮一試刀
Two heroes new to war's alarms, ride boldly forth to test their arms.
初犢力展 三分好把姓名標
Their doughty deeds three kingdoms tell, and poets sing how these befell.
運籌神功 二虎還須遜一龍
Though fierce as tigers soldiers be, battles are won by strategy.
初顯偉績 自應分鼎國吾統
A hero comes; he gains renown, destined to unite his country.

眾寡懸殊 軍迎戰
Outnumbered, soldiers ride to battle.
千刀狂舞 敵鋒斷
Blades dance as the enemy vanguard shatters.
勇俠遵命 欣領衝
Heroes heed the command, leading the charge.
三捷四連 役無終
Victory after victory, our campaign rages on.

黃巾撕綻風散 反之炎滅 叛徒鎮砍
Yellow scarves torn, scattered to the winds as the fires of rebellion are smothered, rebels put to the blade.
煙塵徐徐落地 山河脆平 一觸即碎
Smoke and dust gently fall - the fragile peace of the realm shatters at the slightest touch.
朝廷弱為木偶 群雄四起 逐鹿神州
The imperial court frail, reduced to a wooden puppet as the ambitious rise, vying for these divine lands.
后土照內澄志 皇天鑑衷 匡扶漢室
But the great Earth knows of my righteous will, and my virtuous heart is reflected by High Haven as I dedicate myself to the imperial house of Han.

英雄發穎 一試矛兮一試刀
Two heroes new to war's alarms, ride boldly forth to test their arms.
初犢力展 三分好把姓名標
Their doughty deeds three kingdoms tell, and poets sing how these befell.
運籌神功 二虎還須遜一龍
Though fierce as tigers soldiers be, battles are won by strategy.
初顯偉績 自應分鼎國吾統
A hero comes; he gains renown, destined to unite his country.
