Original text of the work

Waiting for you until your twilight years, at night, under candlelight ,

Sitting by the fire, spinning and winding,

You recited my poems and expressed a lot of emotions:

Back then I How beautiful, Longsha praised me.

In those days you didn’t need a maid to convey messages.

She was so tired from working that she was half asleep,

she still felt safe when she heard my name. Sleep,

Even if I use beautiful words to praise you.

I will sleep underground forever, becoming a ghost without a body,

Resting and settling down under the shade of the love tree:

You are an old woman hibernating at home,

I miss my love and regret your arrogance.

Believe me, if you want to live, don’t wait for tomorrow;

Pick the rose of life today.
