They flit about, the yellow birds,
And rest upon the jujube trees.
Who followed duke Mu [to the grave] ?
Ziche Yansi.
And this Yansi,
Was a man above a hundred.
When he came to the grave,
He looked terrified and trembled.
Thou azure Heaven there !
Thou art destroying our good men.
Could he have been redeemed,
We should have given a hundred lives for him.
They flit about, the yellow birds,
And rest upon the mulberry trees.
Who followed duke Mu [to the grave] ?
Ziche Zhongheng.
And this Zhongheng,
Was a match for a hundred.
When he came to the grave,
He looked terrified and trembled.
Thou azure Heaven there !
Thou art destroying our good men.
Could he have been redeemed,
We should have given a hundred lives for him.
They flit about, the yellow birds,
And rest upon the thorn trees.
Who followed duke Mu [to the grave] ?
Ziche Qianhu.
And this Ziche Qianhu,
Could withstand a hundred men.
When he came to the grave,
He looked terrified and trembled.
Thou azure Heaven there !
Thou art destroying our good men.
Could he have been redeemed,
We should have given a hundred lives for him.
