关雎

关关雎鸠,在河之洲，窈窕淑女,君子好逑

参差荇菜,左右流之，窈窕淑女,寤寐求之

求之不得,寤寐思服，悠哉悠哉,辗转反侧

参差荇菜,左右采之，窈窕淑女,琴瑟友之

参差荇菜,左右 之， 窈窕淑女,钟鼓乐之

A Fair Maiden

By riverside are cooing
A pair of turtledoves;
A good young man is wooing
A maiden fair he loves.

Water flows left and right
Of cresses here and there;
The youth yearns day and night
For the good maiden fair.

His yearning grows so strong
He cannot fall asleep;
He tosses all night long,
So deep in love, so deep!

Now gather left and right
The cresses sweet and tender;
O lute, play music bright
For the bride fair and slender!

Feast friends at left and right
On cresses cooked so tender;
O bells and drums, delight
The bride so fair and tender!
