Third Secret Song (歌訣三) from the The Thirty-Six Songs of Baguazhang (八卦掌三十六歌)

歌訣三

步彎腳直向前伸,
形如推磨一般真。
屈膝隨胯腰扭足,
眼到三面不搖身。
"The curved step and straight foot extend forward,
The form is as if it was truly pushing a millstone.
Bend knees, the hips follow; the waist twists the feet,
The eyes watch the three surfaces (the surroundings), the body does not change."

Based on the translations by Yang Jwing Ming (楊俊敏) and Liang Shou You (梁守渝) in "Baguazhang - Theory and Applications" (峨嵋八卦掌) and by Frank Allen and Tina Chunna Zhang in "The Whirling Circles of Ba Gua Zhang"
