(Content of Song)
“I'll hurry and weed the furrow of my dry field and also weed the furrow of my love
Trying to weed the field that can't be weeded in a day, I lost the golden hair stick
Shiny end of a silver hair stick, twinkles within the door to tempt my heart
When one day we die, I wonder which friend will come to visit me?”
