 English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《子衿》 Library Resources
1 子衿:
青青子衿、悠悠我心。
纵我不往、子宁不嗣音。
Zi Jin:
O you, with the blue collar,
Prolonged is the anxiety of my heart.
Although I do not go [to you],
Why do you not continue your messages [to me]?

2 子衿:
青青子佩、悠悠我思。
纵我不往、子宁不来。
Zi Jin:
O you with the blue [strings to your] girdle-gems,
Long, long do I think of you.
Although I do not go [to you],
Why do you not come [to me]?

3 子衿:
挑兮达兮、在城阙兮。
一日不见、如三月兮。
Zi Jin:
How volatile are you and dissipated,
By the look-out tower on the wall!
One day without the sight of you,
Is like three months.
