The lyric of this episode is:
泣血锥心把夫君拽 In front of my husband's sword
柔肠寸断似刀裁 I feel stabbed by heart
忘不了乱军中险遭残害 I never forget that when I almost died in the roit
蒙王爷施恻隐贵手高抬 You were generous to me and kept my life
几番交往你赤诚相待 You were kind and nice to me
就在这陵园 in this cemetery park
胡笳吹出你的情 you pour out your affection by reed pipe
哈达牵住了我的爱 your love enclosed on me
我义无反顾留下来 I decided to stay with you
相依相伴十二载 For twelve years
深情厚爱两萦怀 we loved each other
十二年喝惯了膻茶与马奶 During the twelve years I have been used to drinking oddly-smelled tea and horse milk
看惯了北国狄花带雪开used to seeing the bizarrerie northern-land flowers in the big snow
原本想终身留塞外I expected to spend the rest of my life here
有谁知故国情家乡恋 but I still love my own country and land
魂牵梦绕丢不开 That can never be forgoten
多少次梦回桑梓把汉月拜 For many times I dream of going back to the central homeland
多少次望断云山盼雁归 For many times I looking forward to the wild goose migrating back
锦衣玉食难偿思乡情 extravagant life can not cure my homesickness
故国一声唤 Now my country calls me back
好似春雷胸中开 I feel much hope and excitement
舍不下夫妻恩和爱 however I reluctant to part with my beloved husband
割不断儿和女骨肉情怀and children
三日来撕心裂肺魂不在 I don't know what to do during these three days
去留二字怎决裁 Go or not?
恨苍天 I'm han but in hungu.Both are my hometown
偏偏要分胡疆汉界Why there is must be border between Han and Hungu?
何处青冢把骨埋Where is my final destination?

That's strange, I would give up everything for love and family. I'd still miss my place of birth, but if my husband loved me, and my children were young, I'd stay with them.
