译文
南山乔木大又高，树下不可歇阴凉。
汉江之上有游女，想去追求不可能。
汉江滔滔宽又广，想要渡过不可能。
江水悠悠长又长，乘筏渡过不可能。

柴草丛丛错杂生，用刀割取那荆条。
姑娘就要出嫁了，赶快喂饱她的马。
汉江滔滔宽又广，想要渡过不可能。
江水悠悠长又长，乘筏渡过不可能。

柴草丛丛错杂生，用刀割取那蒌蒿。
姑娘就要出嫁了，赶快喂饱小马驹。
汉江滔滔宽又广，想要渡过不可能。
江水悠悠长又长，乘筏渡过不可能。

A Woodcutter's Love
The tallest Southern tree
Affords no shade for me.
The maiden on the stream
Can but be found in dream.
For me the stream's too wide
To reach the other side
As River Han's too long
To cross its current strong.
Of the trees in the wood
I'll only cut the good.
If she should marry me,
Her stable-man I'd be.
For me the stream's too wide
To reach the other side
As River Han's too long
To cross its current strong.
Of the trees here and there
I'll only cut the fair
If she should marry me,
Her stable-boy I'd be.
For me the stream's too wide
To reach the other side
As River Han's too long
To cross its current strong.
*The legend said that there was a Goddes on the River Han,Here the woodcutter compared the maiden he love to a inaccessible Goddess.▲
