GUAN! GUAN! CRY THE
FISH HAWKS from Zhounan
Guan! Guan! Cry the
fish hawks on sandbars in the river: a mild-mannered good girl,
fine match for the gentleman. A ragged fringe is the floating-heart, left
and right we trail it: that mild-mannered good girl, awake, asleep, I
search for her.
I search but cannot find her, awake, asleep,
thinking of her, endlessly, endlessly, turning, tossing from side to side.
A ragged fringe is the floating-heart, left and right we pick it: the
mild-mannered good girl, harp and lute make friends with her.
A ragged fringe is the floating-heart, left and
right we sort it: the mild-mannered good girl, bell and drum delight her.
