Long Regret Song

[Verse]
The emperor's fondness for beauty shook the nation
Years of seeking in the imperial court, yielded no satisfaction
A young lady of the Yang family grew up in seclusion
Hidden away from the world, unknown to many in confusion

Blessed with natural beauty, she couldn't bear to waste
Chosen to be by the emperor's side, her beauty graced
With a smile, she ignited a hundred charms
In the palace, no one could match her in grace and calm

[Verse 2]
Given a bath in the luxurious Huaqing pool, skin as smooth as silk
Helped to rise by attendants, feeling weak, but with new-found grace like milk
Her cloud-like hair and flower-like face swayed with every step
In the warmth of the lotus pavilion, nights of spring she aptly kept

[Chorus]
Mornings turned to afternoons, the king no longer rose early
In the midst of festivities and banquets, he neglected his kingly duty
Three thousand beauties in the harem, all his love focused on her
Adorned in golden chambers, with wine and spring nights to concur
