The trees they grow high, the leaves they do grow green,
碧树高高，纤叶青青

Father, dear father, youve done me great wrong,

Daughter, dear daughter, Ive done you no wrong,
阿女阿女，父岂有错？
He's young but he's daily growing

此亦美事，豪门若梦
He will be a man for you when I am dead and gone,

To let the maidens know that he is married.

One day I was looking over my fathers castle wall,

I spied all the boys playing with a ball,

And so early in the morning at the dawning of the day,

They went into a hayfield to have some sport and play,

At the age of fourteen he was a married man,
子方总角，拜为夫婿
At the age of fifteen the father of my son,
子方束发，即为人父。
At the age of sixteen his grave it was green,
不及弱冠，子已长逝。
And death had put an end to his growing.

Ill buy my love some flannel, Ill make my love a shroud,

With every stitch I put in it, the tears they will pour down,
针来线往，泪花儿若伞下雨珠。
With every stitch I put in it, how the tears they will flow,
针来线往，泪花儿若蝴蝶泉涌。
Cruel fate has put an end to his growing.
那命运的残酷呀，断送了我心上人的成长。
