Toasting to the wine, how much is life!
Like morning dew, the past days are bitterly many.
With passion, I express my feelings, but worries are hard to forget.
How to relieve worries? Only with Du Kang.
The green collar of my robe, my heart is serene.
Only for you, I have pondered until now.
The deer call, eating the wild apples.
I have esteemed guests, playing the zither and blowing the sheng.
Bright as the moon, when can I gather it?
Worries come from within, and cannot be severed.
Crossing paths and fields, we foolishly cling to each other.
Parting and meeting, I remember old kindness.
The moon is bright and the stars are few, the magpies fly south.
Circling the tree three times, which branch can I rely on?
The mountains do not disdain to be high, the sea does not tire of being deep.
Duke Zhou feeds his guests, and the world returns to his heart.
