The male pheasant in flight / Wings its way left and right.
O dear one of my heart! / We are so far apart.
See the male pheasant fly; / Hear his song low and high.
My man is so sincere. / Can I not miss him so dear?
瞻彼日月，悠悠我思。
道之云远，曷云能来。
百尔君子，不知德行。
不忮不求，何用不臧。
许渊冲
Gazing at moon or sun, / I think of my dear one.
The way's a thousand li. / How can he come to me?
If he is really good, / He will do what he should.
For nothing would he long. / Will he do anything wrong?
