2. Anonymous "Ancient Acacia Song Part 2" of the Han Dynasty

Thirteen and Jun first met, and they were playing with silk and bamboo in the prince's house. Just because you look back makes me think about your days and evenings. When I saw you again, I was fifteen, and I performed a colorful dance for you. It's a pity that the years are like morning dew. When will I hold my house in the mud nest?

Translation: I first met you when I was thirteen years old. At that time, I was playing in the palace of the prince. Just because you turned around and looked at me like this, your figure makes me think about you day and night. When I see you again, I will be fifteen years old. Let me dance a neon dance for you for now. I just sigh that the years are like the dew in the morning, when they will "build a nest" for you like a sparrow holding the soil in its mouth.
