Fireflies, lanterns,

Fly west, fly east.

Flying to the river, the little fish is dreaming.

Fly to the Woods, the bird is sleeping.

Flying over the Zhangjia wall, the Zhangjia sisters are busy cutting.

Flying over the Li family wall, the Li family brothers did night work.

Fireflies, fireflies,

Why not fly to the sky and be a star?
