| 1 | 鹿鸣: |
呦呦鹿鸣、食野之苹。 我有嘉宾、鼓瑟吹笙。 吹笙鼓簧、承筐是将。 人之好我、示我周行。 |
| Lu Ming: |
With pleased sounds the deer call to one another, Eating the celery of the fields. I have here admirable guests; The lutes are struck, and the organ is blown [for them]; - The organ is blown till its tongues are all moving. The baskets of offerings [also] are presented to them. The men love me, And will show me the perfect path. | |

呦呦鹿鸣、食野之蒿。 我有嘉宾、德音孔昭。 视民不恌、君子是则是效。 我有旨酒、嘉宾式燕以敖。 |
| Lu Ming: |
With pleased sounds the deer call to one another, Eating the southernwood of the fields. I have here admirable guests; Whose virtuous fame is grandly brilliant. They show the people not to be mean; The officers have in them a pattern and model. I have good wine, Which my admirable guests drink, enjoying themselves. | |
| 3 | 鹿鸣: |
呦呦鹿鸣、食野之芩。 我有嘉宾、鼓瑟鼓琴。 鼓瑟鼓琴、和乐且湛。 我有旨酒、以嘉乐嘉宾之心。 |
| Lu Ming: |
With pleased sounds the deer call to one another, Eating the salsola of the fields. I have here admirable guests; For whom are struck the lutes, large and small. The lutes, large and small, are struck, And our harmonious joy is long-continued. I have good wine, To feast and make glad the hearts of my admirable guests. |
