泛彼柏舟,在彼中河。 髧彼两髦,实维我仪。 之死矢靡它。 母也天只。不谅人只。 泛彼柏舟,在彼河侧。 髧彼两髦,实维我特。 之死矢靡慝。 母也天只。不谅人只。
A cypress boat floats on the river, In the middle of the river it drifts. With flowing locks of hair, He is truly my beloved. Until death, I swear I will not change. O Mother, O Heaven, you do not understand me! A cypress boat floats on the river, By the riverbank it drifts. With flowing locks of hair, He is truly my one and only. Until death, I swear I will not betray him. O Mother, O Heaven, you do not understand me!
