Came the sudden, I hear the crisp sound of the lute on the river; I do not want to forget the return of the guests leave.
Looking back on the sound source inquire who is playing the pipa? Pipa stopped for a long time but nothing ever happened.
We move the ship closer to invite her out to meet; servant called Tim wine back to the light again swing the banquet.
