The butterflies there
are beating their wings— they fly,
feel their wingbeats near.
Cherry blossom fields
are blooming over Nánjīng.
A floral fest blooms!
The Jade Emperor
gazes there— he sees her now,
his own princess bright.
Now the flowers fall.
High up in the sky,they dance,
swaying with the breeze.
His beloved sees
her true love now arriving.
Both share their first kiss!
The lovers now kiss
with passion burning brightly—
they had waited long.
In her hanfu, she
nestles close against the chest
of her own true love.
