The reed flowers on the west hill have bloomed

The reed flowers on the west hill have faded

by the east lake the little girl has grown up

with arched eyebrows and long long hair

clever in mind and nimble in hand

she plays with birds in the sky

And fishes in the water

But who can tell me

what’s in her mind?

why are people in love

always apart?

remember to take with you

my handkerchief at any time

tears in eyes flowing like pearls

in the light of sunset

the Liulan girl stands still on the boat
