These women shuttled back and forth among plants such as lotus leaves and water chestnuts. There is a beautiful woman here that makes it impossible for men to leave her. He always thinks of this woman, even though he sleeps. He tossed and turned night after night, trying to get this beloved woman. These women are picking leaves back and forth among the water plants.

There is a beautiful woman here, enjoying the music happily with the bells and drums.
