Green is the upper robe, | |
Green with a yellow lining! | |
The sorrow of my heart, -- | |
How can it cease? | |
Green is the upper robe, | |
Green the upper, and yellow the lower garment! | |
The sorrow of my heart, -- | |
How can it be forgotten? | |
[Dyed] green has been the silk; -- | |
It was you who did it. | |
[But] I think of the ancients, | |
That I may be kept from doing wrong. | |
Linen, fine or coarse, | |
Is cold when worn in the wind. | |
I think of the ancients, | |
And find what is in my heart. |
