Lord of Xiangjiang River
Lord of Xiangjiang River and the next one Madam of Xiangjiang River are the same music songs of sacrifice to the Xiangjiang River god.
Thou're hesitated and slow to come.
For whom thou stay on sandbank?
As a born beauty thou love dressing up.
Thou ride fragrant laurel boat in rapids.
First I order Yuanjiang River and Xiangjiang River to calm,
Then order the Changjiang River to run slowly.
Sincerely expect thee yet thou don't come.
I play xiao and whom do I always think of?
Riding a dragon boat I go directly to the north.
Turning the boat back I went to Dongting Lake.
Make curtain and net with bili grasses and hui grasses.
Decorate paddle and flag with xiangsun and orchids.
Look at Cenyang with my eyes as far as I can.
Raise the sails to cross the Changjiang River.
The boat did not arrive at the destination.
My maid was sad and heaved a sigh for me.
Hot tears stream but can't block the river.
Missing thee I am overwhelmed by sorrow.
I sway the twin oars and stably steer my little boat.(https://www.daowen.com)
The flying boat stirred innumerable heaps of snow.
Bili grasses grow on earth but one picks it in water.
Lotus blooms in water but one picks it on the tree.
Go-between is useless if people's hearts are different.
Having no deep love I was abandoned easily at last.
The water of stony beachhead is shallow.
The flying boat runs forward very swiftly.
With no loyal love one causes resentment.
Breaking thy word thou said thou're busy.
I walk along the river in the morning,
And moor my boat in Beizhu at dusk.
The lonely bird perches on the house.
Crooked river flows in front of the hall.
The jade is thrown into the water of the roaring river.
The jade decoration is thrown at the bank of Li River.
I am picking duruo grasses on the fragrant islet.
I want to present it to the fairy of Xiangjiang River.
Time passes over without coming back.
I am at ease to wait for the good news.
