Amidst the fretted waters ,
The white rocks stand up grandly .
Bringing a robe of white silk , with a vermillion collar ,
We will follow you to Wo .
When we have seen the princely lord ,
Shall we not rejoice ?

Amidst the fretted waters ,
The white rocks stand glistening .
Bringing a robe of white silk , with a vermillion collar , and embroidered ,
We will follow you to Hu .
When we have seen the princely lord ,
What sorrow will remain to us ?

Amidst the fretted waters ,
The white rocks clearly show .
We have heard your orders ,
And will not dare to inform any one of them .
