南有乔木，不可休息。
汉有游女，不可求思。
汉之广矣，不可泳思。
江之永矣，不可方思。
To cross its current strong. Of the trees here and there I'll only cut the fair.
翘翘错薪，言刈其楚。
之子于归，言秣其马。
If she should marry me, Her stable-boy I'd be. For me the stream's too wide
翘翘错薪，言刈其蒌 。
之子于归，言秣其驹 。
汉之广矣，不可泳思 。
江之永矣，不可方思 。
To reach the other side As River Han's too long To cross its current strong.
