四牡𬴂𬴂，啴啴骆马。
岂不怀归，王事靡盬，不遑启处。
翩翩者鵻，载飞载下，集于苞栩。
They may rest on oaks with their peer, And I can't serve my father dear. They may perch on trees with their peer. / And I can't serve my mother dear.
王事靡盬，不遑将父。
翩翩者鵻，载飞载止，集于苞杞。
I drive black-maned white steed And hurry on my way.
王事靡盬，不遑将母。
驾彼四骆，载骤骎骎。
岂不怀归，是用作歌，将母来谂。
Don’t I wish to go home with speed? I can’t but sing this lay Though I have my mother to feed.
