皎皎白驹、食我场苗。 絷之维之、以永今朝。 所谓伊人、于焉逍遥。 |

Let the brilliant white colt, Feed on the young growth of my vegetable garden. Tether it by the foot, tie it by the collar, To prolong this morning. So may its owner of whom I think, Spend his time here at his ease! | |

皎皎白驹、贲然来思。 尔公尔侯、逸豫无期。 慎尔优游、勉尔遁思。 |

If [you with] the brilliant white colt, Would brightly come to me, You should be a duke, you should be a marquis, Enjoying yourself without end. Be on your guard against idly wandering; Deal vigorously with your thoughts of retirement. | |

皎皎白驹、在彼空谷。 生刍一束、其人如玉。 毋金玉尔音、而有遐心。 |

The brilliant white colt, Is there in that empty valley, With a bundle of fresh grass. Its owner is like a gem. Do not make the news of you rare as gold and gems, - Indulging your purpose to abandon me. |
