In the low , wet grounds , the mulberry trees are beautiful ,
And their leaves are luxuriant .
When I see the princely men ,
How great is the pleasure !

In the low , wet grounds , the mulberry trees are beautiful ,
And their leaves are glossy .
When I see the princely men ,
How can I be other than glad ?

In the low , wet grounds , the mulberry trees are beautiful ,
And their leaves are dark .
When I see the princely men ,
Their virtuous fame draws them close [to my heart] .

In my heart I love them ,
And why should I not say so ?
In the core of my heart I keep them ,
And never will forget them .
