邂逅承清尘。
And fell in love with you at first sight.
思君即幽房，
Into your inner chamber I was led
侍寝执衣巾。
And there we spent the day and went to bed.
时无桑中契，
We never went on any rendezvous;
迫此路侧人。
I was attracted by your air, your grace,
我既媚君姿，
While you were enamoured by my face.
君亦悦我颜。
With what did you convey your thought for me?
何以致拳拳？
A pair of golden braces as gifts from thee.
缉臂双金环。
With what did you convey your warmth to me?
何以致殷勤？
A pair of silver rings as gifts from thee.
约指一双银。
With what did you convey your mind to me?
何以致区区？
A pair of shiny pearls as gifts from thee.
耳中双明珠。
With what did you convey your soul to me?
何以致叩叩？
A pair of perfume bags as gifts from thee.
