劳燕分飞 is a phrase from 《东飞伯劳歌》which is an ancient poem written by Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu (the founding emperor) of the Southern Liang Dynasty, based on a folk song and was included in the YueFu Poetry Collection. This collection includes poems from the Han, Wei, Jin and Southern and Northern Liang Dynasties.
The original line is 东飞伯劳西飞燕 which means 'the shrike flies east while the swallow flies west'. Later 劳燕分飞 is used to refer to the separation of people, mostly referring to husbands, wives and lovers.
