On my flute, tipped with jade,
I sang a song to mortals; 
but the mortals did not understand.

Then I lifted my flute to the heavens, 
and I sang my song to the Sages.

The Sages rejoiced together, 
they danced on the glistening clouds.

And now mortals understand me, 
when I sing to the sound 
of my flute tipped with jade.
