東皇太一: The Supreme East Emperor

The Supreme East Emperor Qu Yuan	東皇太一 屈原
It is a fortuitous day and time indeed, and we shall entertain the Lord Emperor with our solemn offerings.	吉日兮辰良 穆將愉兮上皇
We swept the jade hangings on our long swords, as our pendants clanged into a crisp sound.	撫長劍兮玉珥 璆鏘鳴兮琳琅
The luxurious feast are prepared with our jade seats set, as the flowers emanated a sweet atmosphere.	瑤席兮玉瑱 盍將把兮瓊芳
The spices wrapped the offering meat as the offering wine smelled of cinnamon.	蕙肴蒸兮蘭藉 奠桂酒兮椒漿
Raising the drumsticks as the singers sang, the se and the yu complemented their grandiose hymns.	揚枹兮拊鼓 疏緩節兮安歌 陳竽瑟兮浩倡
The priestesses danced with their extravagant clothes, as the smell of incense filled the temple.	靈偃蹇兮姣服 芳菲菲兮滿堂
Music emanated from all over the chamber, as we hope your lordship will be happy and give us prosperity.	五音紛兮繁會 君欣欣兮樂康
