羔裘逍遥，狐裘以朝。岂不尔思，劳心忉忉。 羔裘翱翔，狐裘在堂。岂不尔思，我心忧伤。 羔裘如膏，日出有曜。岂不尔思，中心是悼。
In lamb's-fur robe he saunters, In fox-fur robe he goes to court. How can I not long for him? My anxious heart is torn. In lamb's-fur robe he roams, In fox-fur robe he is in the hall. How can I not long for him? My heart is full of grief. The lamb's-fur robe is glossy as oil, The rising sun makes it shine. How can I not long for him? My heart within is grieved.
庶见素冠兮，棘人栾栾兮，劳心慱慱兮。 庶见素衣兮，我心伤悲兮，聊与子同归兮。 庶见素𫖒兮，我心蕴结兮，聊与子如一兮。
I see the white cap! The wasted man, so thin! My sorrowing heart throbs! I see the white robe! My heart is full of grief! Let me return with you! I see the white knee-covers! My heart is bound with care! Let me be one with you!
隰有苌楚，猗傩其枝。夭之沃沃，乐子之无知。 隰有苌楚，猗傩其华。夭之沃沃，乐子之无家。 隰有苌楚，猗傩其实。夭之沃沃，乐子之无室。
In the low grounds grows the chang-chu, How graceful are its branches! Fresh and glossy — I envy you your want of feeling! In the low grounds grows the chang-chu, How graceful are its flowers! Fresh and glossy — I envy you your freedom from home! In the low grounds grows the chang-chu, How graceful is its fruit! Fresh and glossy — I envy you your freedom from household!
匪风发兮，匪车偈兮。顾瞻周道，中心怛兮。 匪风飘兮，匪车嘌兮。顾瞻周道，中心吊兮。 谁能亨鱼，溉之釜鬵。谁将西归，怀之好音。
How whirls the wind! How speeds the carriage! I look back upon the great road, And my heart is full of grief. How blows the wind! How the carriage hurries! I look back upon the great road, And my heart is sad. Who can cook the fish? Let him wash the pot. Who is going west? Let him carry kind words.
