1 黍苗:
芃芃黍苗、阴雨膏之。
悠悠南行、召伯劳之。
Shu Miao:
Tall and strong grows the young millet,
Fattened by the genial rains.
Very long was our journey to the south,
But the earl of Shao encouraged and cheered us.

2 黍苗:
我任我辇、我车我牛。
我行既集、盖云归哉。
Shu Miao:
We carried our burdens; we pushed along our barrows;
We drove our waggons; we led our oxen.
When our expedition was accomplished,
We knew we should return.

3 黍苗:
我徒我御、我师我旅。
我行既集、盖云归处。
Shu Miao:
We went along on foot; we rode in our chariots; -
Our whole host, and our battalions.
When our expedition was accomplished,
We knew we should return home.

4 黍苗:
肃肃谢功、召伯营之。
烈烈征师、召伯成之。
Shu Miao:
Severe was the work at Xie,
But the earl of Shao built the city.
Majestic was the march of our host; -
The earl of Shao directed it.

5 黍苗:
原隰既平、泉流既清。
召伯有成、王心则宁。
Shu Miao:
The plains and low lands were regulated; -
The springs and streams were cleared.
The earl of Shao completed his work,
And the heart of the king was at rest.
