汉乐府

江南可采莲，

莲叶何田田。

鱼戏莲叶间。

鱼戏莲叶东，

鱼戏莲叶西，

鱼戏莲叶南，

鱼戏莲叶北。

本诗是一首汉代乐府诗，结构简洁、节奏明快，反复回旋，字里行间萦绕着一种采莲人轻松淡雅、质朴纯真的情趣。

This poem is selected from the Conservatoire of Music in Han. With the simple structure, lively rhythm and the twists and turns of melody, the lines provide a relaxed and pure taste of lotus gatherers.

South 

Conservatoire of Music in Han

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

In South lotus blooms we can pick;

The lotus leaves, how fresh, how thick!

Fish play amid the lotus leaves;

Fish play east of the lotus leaves;

Fish play west of the lotus leaves;

Fish play south of the lotus leaves;

Fish play north of the lotus leaves.
