Song of the Merchant's Wife

When he trades in tea — it's right nearby,
on the slopes of the green mountains.
But now he trades in pearls, and must seek them afar,
along the coast of the vast sea!
Our family needs so much food and clothing...
surging, surging, the waves where the whales play
sadden my heart!
