Spring Complaint (Ge Jia Yun)
Scare away the black-naped orioles
Don't let them cry in the branches
Their crying startles my (the wife addressing herself) dreams
I may not arrive in Liaoshi

教: Although this means, "to teach", it is being used here as a more forceful means of not wanting the birds to cry in the branches.

妾: This means, "wife" when the wife is addressing herself. Otherwise, it means, "concubine".

不得: may not / must not

遼西: an area west of Liaoning
