关雎
关关雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑。
参差荇菜，左右流之。窈窕淑女，寤寐求之。
求之不得，寤寐思服。悠哉悠哉，辗转反侧。
参差荇菜，左右采之。窈窕淑女，琴瑟友之。
参差荇菜，左右芼之。窈窕淑女，钟鼓乐之。

Wooing Ospreys
On the islet of the river, in the fresh air,
Cooing and wooing merrily are the ospreys, a pair.
Exquisite and virtuous is the lady,
Fit bride for me, a lord.
Long and short floating the water weed,
Left and right I pick with heed.
Exquisite and virtuous is the lady,
I dream of her regardless it is day or night.
When the courtship was failed,
I think of her regardless she is far away or in sight.
Filled with sorrow and regret,
Unable to sleep I toss and turn on the upset.
Long and short floating the water weed,
Left and right I pluck with heed.
Exquisite and virtuous is the lady,
Should she give me her hand, I will befriend her with Qin and Se.
Long and short floating the water weed,
left and right I gather with heed.
Exquisite and virtuous is the lady,
Should her give me her hand, I will entertain her with the bell and drum. |
