Visit new moon
Open screen of bamboo to see new moon
The approach down stairs to worship
Fine speech person not hear
North wind blow skirt area
RSJC
Worshipping the new moon
I opened the curtain to reveal the moon
I fall down straight away in worship
It whispers so that no-one can hear
Then the north wind whistles the skirts we wear
FJC
Worship of the new moon
I open the curtain and see the new moon
So I draw near and bow down to worship
A fine word that no man has heard
While the north wind ruffles the ribbons of my skirt
TP
A visit once a fortnight
I start the car and draw the curtain
for the interview of the month.It is quite normal to approach people
under the stairs to pay your respects.It's a poor kind of a dialect, but the man
doesn't sniff at it.His frost manners end in failure,
and he carries his skirt.TP
Moon the New Salute
Open the new curtain and appear to the moon!
Relieve oneself downwards immediately on the steps, whilst saluting!
But the whimpering of those that cannot smell
Blast the northern style of windy belt dresses.
MAW
Saluting the new moon
Open the curtains, and see the new moon,
then come to the foot of the stairs, and pay your respects to it.
The well-spoken man does not notice
the north wind, blowing at his gown [belt].
MAW
Open the bamboo curtain. See the new moon,
And then the next stage draws near.
The fine speech of the people is not heard
As the north wind blows around the land.
