Passing By While Hearing the White Sands and Bamboo Branches Song
过 白 沙 竹 枝 歌
绝 怜 山 崦 两 三 家
不 种 香 粳 只 种 麻
耕 遍 沿 途 钳 遍 岭
都 来 能 得 几 生 涯！
Guo Bai Sha Zhu Zhi Ge
Jue lian shan yan liang san jia
Bu zhong xiang jing zhi zhong ma.
Geng bian yan tu qian bian ling
Dou lai neng de ji sheng ya!
Passing By While Hearing the White Sands and Bamboo Branches Song
Sympathy for two or three weathered houses hidden in the mountains
Having no seeds for fragrant and delicious rice, and only one mulberry tree.
Need to cultivate every square inch, along paths and terraced rocky slopes
How many people can survive on this kind of land!
Notes:
Yang was hearing this local music and song style of Sichuan Province.
