Chu Guangxi [Tang Dynasty]
Sunset in the Yangtze River,
Invited to return to the head.
Falling flowers as intentional,
Come and go boat by boat. (Ship Flow Ichisaku: Light Boat)

Twilight shines on the Yangtze River, and they are invited to row a boat back to the ferry.
The falling flowers seemed to have affection, floating around, following the boat forward.

Twilight: Refers to the time when the sun is about to set, in the evening.
Ferry: Ferry.
Chase: Chase, follow.
