女曰雞鳴，士曰昧旦。
子興視夜，明星有爛。
將翱將翔，弋鳧與雁。
弋言加之，與子宜之。
宜言飲酒，與子偕老。
琴瑟在御，莫不靜好。
知子之來之，雜佩以贈之。
知子之順之，雜佩以問之。
知子之好之，雜佩以報之。
雞已啼叫
女：「雞已啼叫。」
男：「天尚未亮。」
女：「快些起床，看看天光。
明星閃閃，正是行獵時間，
射些鴨雁回家佐餐。」
女：「帶了野味回來，我會為你烹煎。
一塊飲酒，偕老白頭。
鼓瑟彈琴 ，美好安閑。」
男：「知道你對我體貼，送你一塊玉佩。
知道你對我溫順，送你一塊玉飾。
知道你對我愛惜，送你一塊玉璧。」
She:
"Cocks are crowing…"
He:
"But dawn has yet to break…"
She:
"Please get up and look at the sky.
The morning stars are shining.
Good time for hunting.
Go shoot some wild geese and ducks.
When you bring the birds home,
I will dress them,
To cook a meal for you.
Together, until our hair turns white;
I will play Qin, you will play Se,
Living in peace and harmony."
He:
"You are so considerate.
I will give you a piece of my girdle jade.
You are so thoughtful.
I will give you a piece of my girdle jade.
You are so true.
Here is a piece of jade, my heart."
