He has many carriages , giving forth their Lin-Lin ;
He has horses with their white foreheads .
Before we can see our prince ,
We must get the services of eunuch .

On the hill-sides are varnish trees ;
In the low wet grounds are chestnuts .
When we have seen our prince ,
We sit together with him , and they play on their lutes .
If now we do not take our joy ,
The time will pass till we are octogenarians .

On the hill-sides are mulberry trees ;
In the low wet grounds are willows .
When we have seen our prince ,
We sit together with him , and they play on their organs .
If now we do not take our joy ,
The time will pass till we are no more .
