湖中芦苇,随风摇荡,毕竟秋深风凉,露水结成霜。我意中的人哟,你身在何方?为寻你影踪我逆流而上。哦,如幻如梦,你仿佛倒影在水波中。哦,仙子难求,你仿佛婆娑在水中洲。
蒹葭苍苍,
白露为霜。
所谓伊人,
在水一方。
溯洄从之,
道阻且长。
溯游从之,
宛在水中央。
蒹葭萋萋,
白露未晞。
所谓伊人,
在水之湄。
溯洄从之,
道阻且跻。
溯游从之,
宛在水中坻。
蒹葭采采,
白露未已。
所谓伊人,
在水之涘。
溯洄从之,
道阻且右。
溯游从之,
宛在水中沚。

The reeds sway, green and green;
The white dew becomes frost.
The lady fair I mean
Looms yonder, all but lost.
Upstream to her I row;
The course is long and high.
Upstream to her I go;
On the waves she looks shy.
The reeds sway, clean and clean;
The white dew has not dried.
The lady fair I mean
Looms by the riverside.
Upstream to her I row;
The course is hard and high.
Upstream to her I go;
On the strand she seems nigh.
The reeds sway, sheen and sheen;
The white dew as e'er gleams.
The lady fair I mean
Stands on the bank,it seems.
Upstream to her I row;
The course turns left and right.
Upstream to her I go;
On the shoal she beams bright.
