Yáng liǔ qīng qīng jiāng shuǐ píng 杨柳青青江水平, The willows are green, the river smoothly flows; Wén láng jiàng shàng chàng gē shēng 闻郎江上唱歌声。 Singing over there on the waters is the lad I love. Dōng biān rì chū xī biān yǔ 东边日出西边雨, In the east the sun is out, in the west there is rain; Dào shì wú qíng huán yǒu qíng 道是无晴还有晴。 It is not yet clear, but somewhat clear, you may as well say.
