Who can tell me where the lyrics of On the Water come from?

The lyrics of "On the Water Side" come from the ancient poem "The Book of Songs".

At the water's edge

Original singer: Gao Lingfeng, Jiang Lei.

Lyrics: Qiong Yao

Music: Lin Jiaqing

Lyrics:

The grass is green and the fog is boundless.

There is a beautiful woman, by the water.

I want to swim upstream and snuggle up to her.

But there are dangerous beaches ahead, and the road is long and long.

I want to go downstream and find her direction.

But it seems vaguely that she is in the middle of the water.

The green grass is getting longer and the white fog is blurred.

There is a beautiful woman who lives by the water.

I would like to go upstream and whisper to her.

Helpless, there are dangerous beaches and twists and turns.

I want to go downstream to find her trace.

But as if vaguely see, she stood in the water.

The grass is green and the fog is boundless.

There is a beautiful woman, by the water.

Extended data:

Although "On Water" was inspired by China's earliest poetry anthology "The Book of Songs", the tune did not use the traditional five tones of China, which added mysterious exotic colors to the work and better reflected the theme of "softness".

On the Water Side is adapted from The Book of Songs, which was originally sung by Gao Lingfeng and Jiang Lei in the film On the Water Side. After the cover of Teresa Teng, it was widely circulated. Before and after it, many singers have covered this song, such as Li Bihua, Yu-Ching Fei, Xu Ruyun and Timi Zhuo. Sarah, Yisa, Jiro Wang, Cao Fujia, Yang Yang, Tang Can, Li Jian and many other new generation singers have also covered.

In the episode of the TV series "Song on the Big Man's Love Cloud", Liu Fang sang this song with the name of "Jia Jian" in the original words.
