卑陋难再陈。
男儿当门户，
As bleak as I can possibly narrate. As the future bread-earner for all,
堕地自生神。
雄心志四海，
A boy is born as master of the hall. With a lofty aim set for his life,
万里望风尘。
女育无欣赏，
He's fit to throw himself in border strife. A girl is reared without specific care,
不为家所珍。
长达逃深室，
Never taken as a precious heir. She stays in boudoirs when she comes of age,
藏头羞见人。
垂泪适他乡，
Too shy to meet the men like bird in cage. In tears she's married to another town,
忽如雨绝云。
Away from home like rain that showers down.
