Songfest (山歌姻緣)

Countless stars in the sky

Numerous flowers on earth

Plenty of folk tales to be told

Abundant folk songs from the tea mountain

Hey...!

Tea mountain has the most folk songs

The girls sing like a lark

The lark sings while flowers bloom

Spreading all over Jiang Nan

The lark sings while flowers bloom

Spreading all over Jiang Nan

Sing a song to the mountain

Tea shrubs flourishing along the hill

Tea leaves filling basket after basket

Tea leaves filling hamper after hamper

Tea leaves filling basket after basket

Tea leaves filling hamper after hamper

Sing a song to the fields

Wheat seedling swaying like waves

The herd is healthy and strong

Delighted with the abundant harvest

Singing along joyously

Turning soil into gold

Voices circling around the mountains

Making the river laugh

Ladies, don't brag

Hey... hey...yo

I can sing as well as you

Hey... hey...yo

You sing to the mountains, I sing to the water

You sing to the mountains, I sing to the water

Fishermen, you have no shame!

Hey... hey...yo

Your songs cannot compare with ours

Hey... hey...yo

All birds respond to my singing, even the phoenix

All birds respond to my singing, even the phoenix

Your songs cannot compare with ours

Hey... hey...yo

The waves respond to my singing

Hey... hey...yo

Marine animals will listen, even the Dragon King

Marine animals will listen, even the Dragon King

Such a brag!

They have no shame!

Yu Lan, tell them off! Do it!

Dragon King doesn't like fishermen

Hey... hey...yo

You'll never catch anything

Hey... hey...yo

No wonder fishermen are poor

No wonder the fishermen are poor

They're making fun of us!

Chun Yang, think of a rebuttal!

Alright! Watch me!

Fishermen are poor but brave

Hey... hey...yo

Not like you fussing over a dowry

Hey... hey...yo

Picking tea leaves in the sun, worrying about marriage

Picking tea leaves in the sun, worrying about marriage

How dare they say that!

Let's go!

Don't mind those garrulous idiots!

Leaving? I dare you to stay!

You must sing a song after another

Like you weave shuttle after shuttle

If you can't sing one song after another

Marry me and learn for 3 years

Learn for 3 years...

Marry me and learn for 3 years

Throwing silk balls?

Let's go!

Go!

Don't be so smug, brother!

Yu Lan will not speak to you again!

Say no more!

Damn! Yu Lan is mad at me!

Don't worry! Same as always...

Speak to her father

Ask him to put in a good word for you

3 months from March 3

The larks are singing

Chirping away in the mountains

I'm the only old man who can sing

Uncle Song

Uncle...

What's the matter, Yang Chun?

I brought you a fish

Save it for yourself

Please help yourself to it!

Let me carry that for you!

No...

It's alright! Let's go!

Yu Lan

Father

What are you doing here?

I'm...

Yun Lan...

Uncle

She's spoiled

Did you have a fight again?

Just over something trivial

Let's go inside

Yes

Come!

Why did you close the door, Yu Lan?

I better not go inside

I have to get back to the river. Bye!

Alright!

Don't worry! She'll get over it!

Thank you

All quiet on the river

The song bird has been quiet

A quiet song bird loses its radiance

Like a cloudy sky

Li Chun Yang is singing again!

Yu Lan, sing along with him

Shut up!

I'll go get him! Hey...

You nosy brat!

Here he is! Yu Lan..

Stop staring! Go after her!

Sing along while the leaves dance in the wind

The leaves fall on the hillside

You wait for me longingly

Run along, you heartless man

Pine trees on the mountain are strong

No response from the flowers

We should learn from the evergreen

And not from prickly ash

Running along the hill

A pair of larks singing

A pair of singing larks

I thought you are calling for me

You have no shame!

Who is your sweetheart?

I have nothing to do with you

Banyan trees have only one root

Melons have only one vine

We are very close

Closer than siblings

Banyan trees don't share the same root

Melons don't share the same vine

If we're close you should not tease me

Plum trees in the sea

Can withstand the waves

Strong roots withstand the gossip

You and I don't have strong ties

I'm sorry, alright? I apologize!

Please smile, alright?

Yu Lan...

Clouds chasing the clouds

Birds chasing the birds

What are young men chasing?

Chasing your sweethearts

String beans are connected

Silk balls are connected

There are many other girls

Please leave me alone

I choose the phoenix among all birds

I choose peony among all flowers

I'm not interested in other girls

You're the only one I want

You can't beat the drum with one stick

Drops of water don't make a river

If I don't love you

You should stop your futile effort

Test the water with bamboo

The water is not as deep as your feelings

Plum trees bloom quietly

You love me secretly

Nonsense!

The old tree provides shade

A nightingale on the old tree

Nodding its head in agreement

Urging you to marry me

You're lying! I didn't hear it!

Wisteria yields dangling flowers

Butterflies are attracted by flowers

Butterflies and flowers

are destined to be together

That's none of my business!

The Seventh Maiden from Heaven

married Dong Yong

Even fairies fall in love

Is your heart made of steel?

So what if it is?

Pluck a flower and throw it away

To test your heart

If you love me pick it up

If you don't...

What then?

...stomp it with your feet!

You can't grow flowers in stone

You can't grow melons in rotten soil

If you do not love me

Sing a song and go home

Chun Yang...

Let me...
