有车邻邻,有马白颠。未见君子,寺人之令。 坂有漆,隰有栗。既见君子,并坐鼓瑟。今者不乐,逝者其耋。 坂有桑,隰有杨。既见君子,并坐鼓簧。今者不乐,逝者其亡。
The carriages rumble by, The horses with white-starred foreheads. Before I saw my lord, The chamberlain gave command. On the slope is the varnish-tree, In the low ground the chestnut. Now that I see my lord, We sit together and play the lute. If today we do not rejoice, The days that pass will see us old. On the slope is the mulberry, In the low ground the willow. Now that I see my lord, We sit together and play the reed-organ. If today we do not rejoice, The days that pass will see us gone.
