牛niú郎láng的de老lǎo牛niú要yào死sǐ了le，把bǎ牛niú郎láng叫jiào到dào跟前gēn qián。

The cowherd's old ox, dying, called him close.

老lǎo牛niú说shuō：我wǒ死sǐ了le以后yǐ hòu，你nǐ把bǎ我wǒ的de皮pí剥bāo下来xià lai留liú着zhe，有yǒu一yì天tiān你nǐ要yào上shàng天tiān，披pī上shàng我wǒ的de皮pí就jiù能néng上shàng天tiān。

It said: when I'm gone, take my hide, one day you'll need to fly to heaven; wearing it you can.

牛niú郎láng哭kū着zhe剥bāo下xià了le牛niú皮pí。老lǎo牛niú又yòu说shuō：鞋xié也yě要yào做zuò一yì双shuāng，踏上tà shàng天tiān的de路lù穿chuān。

Weeping, the cowherd took the hide; the ox said too: make shoes of my skin for the road to heaven.

后来hòu lái织zhī女nǚ被bèi抓zhuā回huí天上tiān shàng，牛niú郎láng披pī上shàng牛niú皮pí，挑tiāo着zhe两liǎng个gè孩子hái zi追zhuī上shàng天tiān——老lǎo牛niú到dào死sǐ了le都dōu在zài帮bāng他tā。

When the Weaver Girl was dragged back, the cowherd donned the hide and bore the children skyward, loyal to the last.
