Chapter 30 【Yangtze River Boatman Song】
【Yangtze River Boatman Song】
--Recite in Sichuan accent
I sing on the banks of the Yangtze River,
The singing sounded on both sides of the bank.
I looked up to the east,
How majestic the rising sun is!
hi yo, hi yo,
How majestic the newborn sun is!
Pull a white sail when the wind is down,
Fill up the wind;
Take the water to pull a chain,
Take the boat to the blue sky!
hi yo, hi yo,
Take the boat to the blue sky!
The smiling water is like a cradle,
The gentle wind on the water is the mother's hand.
The crazy waves are a pack of beasts,
Take the boat and go!
hi yo, hi yo,
Take the boat and go!
A lifetime of wandering on the water,
My home is wide:
I had breakfast at Xufu,
Let's talk about dinner in Ba County!
hi yo, hi yo,
Let's talk about dinner in Ba County!
I sing on the banks of the Yangtze River,
The singing sounded on both sides of the bank.
I looked up to the east,
How majestic the rising sun is!
hi yo, hi yo,
How majestic the rising sun is!
