Many are the bundles of firewood;
I would cut down the thorns [to form more].
Those girls that are going to their future home, --
I would feed their horses.
The breadth of the Han
Cannot be dived across;
The length of the Jiang,
Cannot be navigated with a raft.
Many are the bundles of firewood;
I would cut down the southern wood [to form more].
Those girls that are going to their future home, --
I would feed their colts.
The breadth of the Han
Cannot be dived across;
The length of the Jiang
Cannot be navigated with a raft.
