小雅·谷风之什·鼓钟

鼓钟将将，淮水汤汤，忧心且伤。淑人君子，怀允不忘。
鼓钟喈喈，淮水湝湝，忧心且悲。淑人君子，其德不回。
鼓钟伐鼛，淮有三洲，忧心且妯。淑人君子，其德不犹。
鼓钟钦钦，鼓瑟鼓琴，笙磬同音。以雅以南，以籥不僭。

Bells and Drums

The bells ring deep and low;T
The vast river waves flow.
My heart is full of woe.
How can I forget then
Those music-making men?

The bells sound shrill and high;
The river waves flow by.
My heart heaves long, long sigh.
How can I forget then
Those music-loving men?

The bells and drums resound;
Three isles emerged, once drowned.
My heart feels grief profound.
How can I forget then
Those music-playing men?

They beat drum and ring bell,
Play lute and zither well,
In flute or pipe excel,
Sing odes and southern song
And dance with nothing wrong.
