夜月星河 英雄影 飄泊幾多秋 The swordsman’s shadow passes by

113. 2.《憶江南‧劍客》 夜月星河

                 英雄影
                 飄泊幾多秋
                 滴盡江湖兒女淚
                 功成身隱踏歸舟
                 劍客已無求。

The swordsman’s shadow passes by,
For many an Autumn drifting from 
                                       place from to place;
Lawless but righteous, the ladies have 
                                      shed their tears dry.

All his missions done,
The Swordsman boards a returning 
                                  boat and hides his face,
For his desire he has none.
