亭邊一棵柳樹，橋頭一棵柳樹。縱有碧絲千萬條，怎能挽得行人駐？

岸上一聲杜鵑，水中一聲杜鵑：“行不得也哥哥！莫若回帆。”

There is a willow tree beside the pavilion,

There is also a willow before the bridge waving.

Even willow branches blown to thousands lines,

How could they hold the pedestrians from leaving?

You heard one cry of cuckoo on the bank,

You also heard one cry of cuckoo from the bay.

“Rather than going away, my sweetheart!

You need to come back and forever stay.”
