In ancient times, men liked women, but women didn't like men's poems.

Yin Jiefu Zhangji

You know I have a husband and you want to give me a pair of pearls.

I thank you for your love and pin the pearl on my red shirt.

My home is connected with the imperial garden, and my husband is on duty in the palace with a halberd.

Although I know you are sincere to Lang Lang, I have vowed to share my life and death with my husband.

Return your double beads, my eyes are full of tears, and I regret not meeting you before I got married.

Translated text

You gave me a pair of pearls and knew I had a husband.

Thank you for your kindness. Tie it on my red skirt.

My high-rise building is connected with the royal inner court.

My husband is a bodyguard in the palace,

I know your idea is aboveboard,

But my husband and I vowed to live and die together.

Return your pair of pearls,

But my tears came down,

Why didn't I meet you before I got married?
