Trumpet, suona,
The tune may be small, but the instrument is large.
The comings and goings of the officials' boats were as chaotic as pins and needles,
Everyone depending on it to raise their social status.
Upon hearing it the soldiers start to worry,
Upon hearing it the people are afraid,
Where could one go to distinguish between truth and falsehood?
Watching it come along to topple one family,
Going on to hurt another family,
Only causing the water to disappear and the swans to fly away! |
