Zige Night Song / Spring Song
In Qin, the maiden Luo Fu
Gathering mulberry leaves by the green water's edge.
Her pale hands reach among the dark branches,
Her red dress bright beneath the white sun.
The silkworms are hungry—I must go home.
Do not linger, five-horse carriage.
子夜吳歌/春歌
秦地羅敷女，採桑綠水邊。
素手青條上，紅妝白日鮮。
蠶飢妾欲去，五馬莫留連。
