《北方有佳人》

[漢]李延年

There's A Beauty in the North

By Li Yannian (Li Yen-Nien), Han Dynasty.

北方有佳人

There's a beauty in the north

絕世而獨(dú)立

She is peerless in the world

Who stands away from others

一顧傾人城

She makes men of a whole town

Obsessed at first sight

再顧傾人國

Men in the whole country fall

Into crazy love with her

If they are lucky enough

Having the second chance to see her

寧不知傾城與傾國

I cannot promise whether

You'll be obsessed by

Or become crazy for her

佳人難再得

But I make sure no one else

Can be better in this world
