Both wheels of the chariot got stuck in the
mud and its four horses were entangled in the reins. The drum was thumped loudly
by sticks embedded with jade.

霾兩輪兮縶四馬，援玉枹兮撃鳴鼓。
All the fighters were cruelly slain and

Your bodies are dead, but your souls are still
alive as heroes among the ghosts.

身既死兮神以靈，子魂魄兮為鬼雄！
