49.A Cucumber Vine Climbing a Cliff

(Sung by Women)

Fruit trees grow along walls;

Cucumber vines climb up cliffs.

If they produce fruit and cucumbers,

If the trees produce fruit,will you take it?

If the vines produce cucumbers,will you pick them?

If you pick those cucumbers,they will be sweet.

If you propose,I am willing!

I’m waiting for your matchmaker to come to my family.

The matchmaker will not come in vain!

Of my own volition,I have agreed.

I have already said I am willing to be yours.

I have spoken up,and said that I will go with you.
