The wild wisterias grows on the field,
dew twinkles on those little leaves.
A beautiful girl walks on the path,
encountering her is my best luck.
The wild wisterias grows on the field,
dew falls on those little leaves.
A beautiful girl walks on the path,
we have a dreamlike tryst.
野有蔓草，零露漙兮。
有美一人，清扬婉兮。
邂逅相遇，适我愿兮。
野有蔓草，零露瀼瀼。
有美一人，婉如清扬。
邂逅相遇，与子偕臧。
