By an old drinking well on the grass so green

青青草地，古井悠悠

I lay down and fell into a dream

身躺柔荑，渐入梦乡

By a strange mellow sound from a silver eyed bird

半梦半醒间，银瞳鸟语柔声绕耳畔

I opened my eyes but said no word

睁眼双眸，悄然无言

On the pathway came walking a woman so bold

羊肠小道上，村妇迎面走来

Behind her in silence went the old

老者沉默随行其后

Ahead ran the children with joyful cries

孩童奔前跑后，嬉笑打闹

Their faces were lifted to the skies

他们脸庞灿若天光
