越歌 – （明）宋濂
恋郎思郎非一朝，
好似并州花剪刀。
一股在南一股北，
几时裁得合欢袍？
Folk Song of Yue by Soong Lian (Ming Dynasty)
For quite a while, I have fallen for thee,
Like Bingzhou scissors, we are meant to be.
One blade points south, the other blade points north,
When shall we cut my bridal robe with glee?

Instead of “with glee”, “for me” can be a substitute for the Last line
We can also consider “up north” and “down south” ...
