Bursting forth from a single branch,

Thirty-six red plum blossoms

Beautiful, handsome, brilliant

In a cruelly cold winter, bloom.

A suffering heart may feel

Father Time so slowly moves.

Ah! Now you see the truth

Bright spring will not late come!

*In Chinese, "Ying" means here "greeting, welcoming, receiving" and "Chun" means here"(the season of) spring". "YingChun" is here used as another name for the winter plum blossoms.
