荆軻 風蕭蕭兮易水寒 壯士一去兮不復還 ‘Whoosh! Whoosh!’— the fierce wind did blow

《 易水歌 》 荆軻
　
風蕭蕭兮易水寒，
壯士一去兮不復還。
探虎穴兮入蛟宮，
仰天呼氣兮成白虹。

"The Yi River Song"

-- by Jing Ke (? - 227 BC)

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

‘Whoosh! Whoosh!’— the fierce wind did blow;

The Yi River water was cold.

Once from here to go he did turn –

Ne’er should the Fearless One return!

Into the dragon's and tiger's den
The Brave One just went --
Whistling sharply towards the sky,
With th'Emperor he wanted to die!
