Newlywed Wife


三日入廚下,
三日入厨下,

sān rì rù chú xià,

ㄙㄢ ㄖˋ ㄖㄨˋ ㄔㄨˊ ㄒㄧㄚˋ,

Three days after my wedding I enter the kitchen,
洗手作羹湯
洗手作羹汤

xǐ shǒu zuò gēng tāng

ㄒㄧˇ ㄕㄡˇ ㄗㄨㄛˋ ㄍㄥ ㄊㄤ

washing my hands to prepare soup
未諳姑食性,
未谙姑食性,

wèi ān gū shí xìng,

ㄨㄟˋ ㄢ ㄍㄨ ㄕˊ ㄒㄧㄥˋ,

Not quite knowing mother-in-law's preference,
先遣小姑嘗。
先遣小姑尝。

xiān qiǎn xiǎo gū cháng.

ㄒㄧㄢ ㄑㄧㄢˇ ㄒㄧㄠˇ ㄍㄨ ㄔㄤˊ。

I ask her younger daughter to have a taste first.
