Distant Altair, Jiao Jiao Hehan girl.
Skillful hands, make a loom.
There is no chapter all day, and tears are pouring down.
What's the difference between a clear river and a shallow one?
Between water and water, there are no words.
Translation:
Distant and bright Altair, bright and distant Vega. The weaver girl is waving her long white hands, and the loom keeps ringing. Because of lovesickness, she couldn't weave any patterns all day, and tears scattered all over the floor like rain. Only across the clear and shallow Milky Way, the two worlds are not far apart. Across the clear and shallow banks of the Milky Way, they stared at each other silently.
