What night is it tonight, wandering in the river, what day is it today, in the same boat with the prince. I feel deeply wronged. I am not ashamed of my meanness. I'm confused. I can see the prince. There are trees on the mountain and trees have branches. I like you in my heart, but you don't know it.
Origin: On the boat in Han Qing, Yue Nv first met E Jun, and his heart turned to spring, and he secretly loved him. How do you express your feelings when your heart is full of ripples? Just sing a song to this green mountain and green water to show my heart. Although he doesn't know the language, Mr. E heard this song clear, beautiful, soft, bright, sweet but not greasy. He saw Yue Nv's face flushed, shy and charming. Out of curiosity, I hired an interpreter to translate the lyrics into Chu songs.
This is China's first translated poem, which is one of the sources of Chu Ci.
