Fresh and bright is the New Tower, On the waters of the He, wide and deep. A pleasant, genial mate she sought, [And has got this] vicious bloated mass!
新臺有洒、河水浼浼。 燕婉之求、籧篨不殄。
Lofty is the New Tower, On the waters of the He, flowing still. A pleasant, genial mate she sought, [And has got this] vicious bloated mass!
魚網之設、鴻則離之。 燕婉之求、得此戚施。
It was a fish net that was set, And a goose has fallen into it. A pleasant, genial mate she sought, And she has got this hunchback.
