Powerful winds sweeping in, sending clouds up flying.

Now the nation brought under reign, here I am homecoming.

Historic Loser's Magnificent Poetry by Xiang Yu 

"Melodies off the Battleground"

Mighty me can erase mountains enforcing all to tame;

It's just not my time and not a loyal horse to blame.

My dear horse not parting but what difference it makes,

Yu my beloved beauty we just can't change the game.

Historic Loser's Magnificent Poetry by Xiang Yu 

"A Song Parting the Battlefield"

Imposing to make mountains move and whole world shatter,

Now momentum has turned but my horse refuses to waver. 

My horse can do or die with me albeit unfortunate but fine,

How my beloved Yu is going to fare after my colossal failure.
