GUAN JU
|
Guan-guan go the ospreys , |
| 1 |
On the islet in the river. |
|
The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady: -- |
|
For our prince a good mate she. |
|
Here long, there short, is the duckweed, |
| 2 |
To the left, to the right, borne about by the current. |
|
The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady: -- |
|
Waking and sleeping, he sought her. |
|
He sought her and found her not, |
|
And waking and sleeping he thought about her. |
|
Long he thought ; oh! long and anxiously; |
|
On his side, on his back, he turned, and back again. |
|
Here long, there short, is the duckweed; |
| 3 |
On the left, on the right, we gather it. |
|
The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady: -- |
|
With lutes, small and large, let us give her friendly welcome. |
|
Here long, there short, is the duckweed; |
|
On the left, on the right, we cook and present it. |
|
The modest, retiring, virtuous, young lady: -- |
|
With bells and drums let us show our delight in her. |
