Flowers wither and red apricots are small. Swallows fly, green water people go around.
Small catkins are blowing on the branches There are plenty of fish in the sea!
Swing inside and outside the wall. The layman in the wall, the beauty in the wall laughs.
The laughter died away, and so did the sound. Affectionate but heartless chagrin.
Translation:
Spring is coming to an end, flowers are dying, and green fruits have grown on apricot trees.
Swallows fly across the sky, and clear rivers surround the villagers.
The catkins on the willow branches are blown less and less. Don't worry, there is lush grass everywhere.
Inside the fence, there is a girl playing on the swing. The girl gave a beautiful laugh, which could be heard by pedestrians outside the wall.
Slowly, the laughter in the fence stopped, and pedestrians were at a loss, as if they were deeply hurt by a heartless girl.
