我從山中來 (Coming back from the mountains)

帶著蘭花草 (bringing an orchid plant with me)

種在小園中 (Planting it inside the garden)

希望開花早 (hoping it would grow early)

一日看三回 (Thrice a day though I visit)

看得花時過 (until the season has passed)

蘭花卻依然 (The plant still silently sits)

苞也無一個 (with no flower can be seen)

轉眼秋天到 (Soon the autumn has arrived)

移蘭入暖房 (into a warm house it is moved)

朝朝頻顧惜 (Day by day to care for it)

夜夜不能忘 (night through night I miss about it)

期待春花開 (Would by spring it be in blossom)

能將宿願償 (to finally fulfill my anticipation)

滿庭花簇簇 (In a garden full of flowers)

添得許多香 (with the air full of aromas)
