Of the peach trees in the garden, |
|
The fruit may be used as food. |
|
My heart is grieved, |
|
And I play and sing. |
|
Those who do not know me, |
|
Say I am a scholar venting his pride. |
|
' Those men are right; |
|
What do you mean by your words? ' |
|
My heart is grieved; |
|
Who knows [the cause of] it? |
|
Who knows [the cause of] it? |
|
[They know it not], because they will not think. |
|
Of the jujube trees in the garden, |
|
The fruit may be used as food. |
|
My heart is grieved, |
|
And I think I must travel about through the State. |
|
Those who do not know me, |
|
Say I am an officer going to the verge of license. |
|
' Those men are right; |
|
What do you mean by your words? ' |
|
My heart is grieved; |
|
Who knows [the cause of] it? |
|
Who knows [the cause of] it? |
|
[They do not know it], because they will not think. |
