国风 召南 草虫

喓喓草虫，趯趯阜螽；
未见君子，忧心忡忡。
亦既见止，亦既觏止，我心则降。

The Grasshoppers
Hear grassland insects sing
And see grasshoppers spring!
When my lord is not seen,
I feel a sorrow keen.
When I see him downhill
And meet him by the rill,
My heart would then be still.
陟彼南山，言采其蕨；
未见君子，忧心惙惙。
亦既见止，亦既觏止，我心则说。
I go up southern hill,
Of ferns I get my fill.
When my lord is not seen,
I feel a grief more keen.
When I see him downhill
And meet him by the rill,
My heart with joy would thrill.
陟彼南山，言采其薇；
未见君子，我心伤悲。
亦既见止，亦既觏止，我心则夷。
I go up southern hill;
Of herbs I get my fill.
When my lord is not seen,
I feel a grief most keen.
When I see him downhill
And meet him by the rill,
My heart would be serene.
