New-and-improved translation:

Lush grasses on the plain,
Each year withering and then flourishing.

The wildfires can’t extinguish them
Spring winds blow and the grasses come back to life

The faraway fragrance invades the ancient road
Emerald green under the sun meets the abandoned city

I send off the nobleman’s son again
Lush grass, I’m full of emotions of parting.
