Lyrics of the song: When the flowers fade and the flowers fly all over the sky, who will pity them when the red flowers fade away and the fragrance fades away? With my hands, I hoe the flowers out of the embroidery curtain. How can I bear to step on the falling flowers again in the sky? I lean on the flowers alone and shed my tears secretly. The branches in the sky reflect the blood stains, the cuckoos are speechless in the dusk, and the lotus hoe returns to cover the heavy doors. Where are the fragrant hills at the end of the sky, why not leave the beautiful bones in the brocade bag? A pure land covers the wind, and the essence comes and goes clean again.
