蒹葭苍苍，白露为霜。

溯游从之，宛在水中央。
蒹葭萋萋，白露未晞。
所谓伊人，在水之湄。
溯洄从之，道阻且跻。
溯游从之，宛在水中坻。
蒹葭采采，白露未已。
所谓伊人，在水之涘。
溯洄从之，道阻且右。
溯游从之，宛在水中沚。

The reed
Green, green the reed,
Dew and frost gleam.
Where’s she I need?
Beyond the stream.
Upstream I go, the way is long.
Downstream I go, She’s there among.
White, white the reed,
Dew not yet dried.
Where’s she I need?
On the other side.
Upstream I go,
Hard is the way.
Downstream I go ,
She’s far away.
Bright, bright the reed,
Dew and frost blend.
Where’s she I need?
At river’s end.
Upstream I go,
The way does wind.
Downstream I go,
She’s far behind.

The reeds
The reeds are luxuriant and green,
The white dew has turned to frost.
My beloved so dear to me,
In somewhere beyond the waters.
Upriver I search for him,
The way is arduous and long.
Downriver I search for him,
He seems to be in the middle of the waters.
The reeds are exuberant and strong,
The white dew has not yet dried.
My beloved so dear to me,
Is somewhere near the river-bank.
Upriver I search for him,
The way is arduous and hard.
Downriver I search for him,
He seems to be on the shoal in the waters.
The reeds are flourishing and lush,
The white dew is still falling.
My beloved so dear to me,
Is somewhere near the riverside.
Upriver I search for him;
The way is arduous and tortuous.
Downriver I search for him,
He seems to be on an islet in the waters.
