The weeping willows are reluctant to part
the soughing of the wind in the pines is surging
the plum blossoms are carmine
and full of vigour in the spring
The jade orchids are strong fragrant
the rice waves are surging
the pomegranates are fresh and bright
and the endless intoxication is strong
in the summer time
Smoke flowing from the kitchen and flowing rhymes
the lotus roots grows fully in the pond
the nursery rhymes are sung together
and in my hometown
family affection and local voice in dream
The wine is fragrant
full of delicacies on the table
drums and music are singing
and on the farmer's wedding party
fireworks lifted off in the sky
