Excerpt from Xizhou Song, a folk song of Yuefu in the Southern Dynasties, from the original text:
The sky was full of geese, and she went up to the tower to see her husband. Although the tower is high, she can't see her husband. She leans against the railing all day.
The railing bent and bent into the distance, and her hands were as bright as jade. The curtain is so high, rippling like sea water, empty and generally dark green.
If the sea is as long as a dream, then you are sad and I am sad. If Nanfeng knows how I feel, please blow my dream to Puxi Island.
Translation:
The sky in Xizhou is full of geese. She went to the high balcony and looked at Mr. Lang. Although the balcony is high, she can't see Mr. Lang. She leans against the railing all day.
The railing twists and turns into the distance, and her hanging hands are as bright as jade. The sky outside the shutter door is so high, like sea water, rippling with an empty dark green.
As long as the sea is like a dream, Lang Jun, if you are sad, I am sad. If Nanfeng knows how I feel, please blow my dream to Xizhou to meet him.
