Preparing me chicken and rice, old friend, You entertain me at your farm. We watch the green trees that circle your village And the pale blue of outlying mountains. We open your window over garden and field, To talk mulberry and hemp with our cups in our hands. ...Wait till the Mountain Holiday -- I am coming again in chrysanthemum time.

Medan du tillreder en kyckling med ris underhåller du mig, gamle vän, med förtroligt samtal. Vi betrakta de gröna träden kring din by och de blekgrå bergen i fjärran. Vi öppna ditt fönster mot gårdar och fält, och med våra bägare lyfta i handen språka vi om mullbär och hampa. Vänta till det Heliga bergets fest, då kommer jag tillbaka vid krysantemumtiden.
