Sorrow Amidst Joy

Lyrics

This is the common fate Of mortal man Useless it is to repine This is the common fate Of mortal man Useless It is to to repine She's still in her cradle When her parents die Although living in luxury Who will dote on her Happily she's born too courageous To take a love affair to heart Like bright moon and fresh breeze In a hall of jade She's matched with handsome husband May she live with him for long years to make up for her wretched childhood But over Gaotang Tower Thе clouds disperse The rivеr Xiang runs dry This is the common fate of mortal man Useless useless it is to repine Useless of mortal man Useless it is to repine Useless
