So, definitely, SHE oars and SHE sings, right? My translation seems ok...

Yes, and yes, it is quite accurate. But I would eliminate "suddenly" in line 2, and change "seeming" to "pretending/faking" in the last.

<p>Here's my attempt to translate this poem by 李白 :</p>
<blockquote>

<p>见客棹歌回。</p>
<p>笑入荷花去,</p>

<blockquote>
<p><strong>Songs to Yue women - Part 3</strong></p>
<p>A Yue woman is gathering lotus in the Ye river;</p>
<p>she crosses a passer-by and suddenly turns her boat back, singing.</p>
<p>With a smile, she hides away among the lilies,</p>
<p>seeming too shy to show up.</p>

<p>Is the second line correct? Who is oaring? Who is singing?</p>
<p>Thanks also for eventually correcting mistakes!</p>

> A Yue woman is gathering lotus in the Ye river;
>
> she crosses a passer-by and suddenly turns her boat back, singing.

Thanks also for eventually correcting mistakes!

《越女词其三》

李白

耶溪采莲女。  
Upon 若耶 creek picking lotus a maiden,  
见客棹歌回。  
seeing a traveller, she wends her boat.  
笑入荷花去。  
Laughing she hides midst the lotus clusters,  
佯羞不出来。  
feigning shyness she remains there.

肯定是个大帅哥！
