山有枢,隰有榆。子有衣裳,弗曳弗娄。子有车马,弗驰弗驱。宛其死矣,他人是愉。
山有栲,隰有杻。子有廷内,弗洒弗扫。子有钟鼓,弗鼓弗考。宛其死矣,他人是保。
山有漆,隰有栗。子有酒食,何不日鼓瑟?且以喜乐,且以永日。宛其死矣,他人入室。
Why Not Enjoy?
Uphill you have elm-trees;
Downhill you have elms white.
You have dress as you please.
Why not wear it with delight?
You have horses and car.
Why don't you take a ride?
One day when dead you are,
Others will drive them with pride.
Uphill you've varnish trees;
Downhill trees rooted deep.
You have rooms as you please.
Why not clean them and sweep
You have your drum and bell.
Why don't you beat and ring?
One day when tolls your knell,
Joy to others they'll bring.
Uphill you've chestnut trees;
Downhill trees with deep root.
You have wine as you please.
Why not play lyre and lute
To be cheerful and gay
And to prolong your bloom?
When you are dead one day,
Others will enter your room.
