1 O! Sister! The sun shines on the white cliffs,
Where gold and silver flowers hang down.
But what is honeysuckle,
compared with you my love, my spouse.

2 O! Sister! On the crescent moon
The two children hang in starlight.
The gown of gold on the silver hook,
The husband's heart on his bride's.

2 The gown of gold on the silver hook,
The husband's heart on his bride's.

Consider with care the case.

Perfectly matched as a pair.
