Lyrics:

Ah peony, the most beautiful among the flowers

Ah peony, the most spectacular in the land of fragrant flowers

Someone They say you are charming, how could your charming life be so full?

Some people say you are rich, but how could they know that you have experienced poverty?

Ah peony, ah peony

Who knew? You have experienced poverty, ah peony

The most beautiful among the flowers, ah peony
