| 1 | 山有樞: |
山有樞、隰有榆。 子有衣裳、弗曳弗婁。 子有車馬、弗馳弗驅。 宛其死矣、他人是愉。 |
| Shan You Shu: |
On the mountains are the thorny elms, In the low, wet grounds are the white elms. You have suits of robes, But you will not wear them; You have carriages and horses, But you will not drive them. You will drop off in death, And another person will enjoy them. | |
| 2 | 山有樞: |
山有栲、隰有杻。 子有廷內、弗洒弗埽。 子有鐘鼓、弗鼓弗考。 宛其死矣、他人是保。 |
| Shan You Shu: |
On the mountains is the Kao, In the low wet grounds is the Niu. You have courtyards and inner rooms, But you will not have them sprinkled or swept; You have drums and bells, But you will not have them beat or struck, You will drop off in death, And another person will possess them. | |
| 3 | 山有樞: |
山有漆、隰有栗。 子有酒食、何不日鼓瑟。 且以喜樂、且以永日。 宛其死矣、他人入室。 |
| Shan You Shu: |
On the mountains are the varnish trees, In the low wet grounds are the chestnuts. You have spirits and viands; - Why not daily play your lute? Both to give a zest to your joy, And to prolong the day? You will drop off in death, And another person will enter your chamber. |
