The way that the willow bows over the stream
Like a mourner crying for their loved one
Reminds me of last fall
When on one knee, I pledged myself to you
La, vois, le saule s'incline dessus do ruisseau,
Comme une personne qui se descend, criant pour l'amant.
Me rapelle d'automne, presse dans ton reverence,
Je m'ai engagee a vous...
[Literal Translation]
There, look, the willow clings over the river,
Like a person who bows down, crying for the lover.
Reminds me of Autumn, [when] you were kneeling,
I engaged myself to you...
