Married to her lord for life – her headdress
displays six jewels.
Her behaviour – stately as a mountain, graceful
as a river.
Exquisite in her embroidered robe.
But alas! There is a rumour that she is
unfaithful.
What can one say about this?
How splendid she
appears in her peacock feather print coat.
Her hair – black as a dark cloud – she needs no
false locks.
Her ear-plugs – pure jade; her comb – precious
ivory.
She is heaven's daughter,
And the goddess of our land!
Her elegant overcoat covers inner garments of
cloth yet finer.
Her eyes are clear.
Her brow is full and smooth.
How can such a beauty exist?
She is truly our national princess.
