Green, green,
The cypress on the mound
Firm, firm,
The boulder in the stream.
Man's life lived within this world
Is like the sojourning of a hurried traveler
A cup of wine together will make us glad,
And a little friendship is no little matter.

Yoking my chariot I urge my stubborn horses,
I wander about in the streets of Wan and Luo.
In Luo Town how fine everything is!
The " Caps and Belts " go seeking each other out.
The great boulevards are intersected by lanes,
Wherein are the townhouses of Royal Dukes
The two palaces stare at each other from afar,
The twin gates rise a hundred feet
By prolonging the feast let us keep our hearts gay,
And leave no room for sadness to creep in.
