(Sung by Men)

Along the river bank

There fifteen clumps of punting pole bamboos,

Yet I don’t see another straight pole,

No other is perfectly straight.

This one is the only one,

That is well-grown and straight!

From the moment I first saw you,I loved you!

I love your bright eyes!

I love your sweet lips!

Your eyes subtly speak to me,

Your lips give me secret smiles!

Your face is as fair as cotton,

And as soft as cotton too!

You have such fair and tender skin,

Not one of those other fine girls can compare to you!
