若耶溪边采莲女， 笑隔荷花共人语。 日照新妆水底明， 风飘香袖空中举。 岸上谁家游冶郎， 三三五五映垂杨。 紫骝嘶入落花去， 见此踟蹰空断肠。

Sur les bords du Jo‑Yeh Matches base text
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Our translations: GER
Sur les bords du Jo-Yeh, des jeunes filles cueillent des nénuphars. Parmi les bambous, elles s'interpellent et se cachent en riant. L'eau réfléchit leurs belles robes, qui parfument la brise. Des cavaliers passent entre les saules de la rive... Un des chevaux hennit. Son maître regarde en vain de tous côtés et puis s'éloigne. Sur les bords du Jo-Yeh une des jeunes filles laisse tomber ses nénuphars et comprime son coeur, qui bat à grands coups.
