As simple as the snow on the mountain,
As clear as the moon in the clouds.
They told me that your heart has changed;
So I came to say goodbye to you.
We drank some wine today,
We must part by the canal tomorrow.
On the royal ditch,
The river flows eastward,
I wonder if my sadness will end.
Girls don't need to cry after marriage.
