Jiangshan bathed in spring, how beautiful, flowers send flowers.
Swallows are busy nesting in wet mud and sleeping in pairs on the warm beach.
The water waves in the river, the white feathers of waterfowl, the green and red flowers on the mountain are in contrast, and you want to burn.
This spring is coming to an end. When will I go home?

The blue river reflects the snow-white feathers of waterfowl, and the gloomy mountains and red flowers are about to burn.
This spring is coming to an end. What is the date of my return to China?
