Lyrics
四季歌
春季到来绿满窗
Spring comes and green fills my window
大姑娘窗下绣鸳鸯
I sit by the window embroidering mandarin ducks
忽然一阵无情棒
Suddenly comes a merciless disruption
打得鸳鸯各一方
Separating the lover ducks apart
夏季到来柳丝长
Summer comes and the willow branches are long
大姑娘漂泊到长江
I wander to the Yangtze riverside
江南江北风光好
The scenery is beautiful north and south of the river
怎及青纱起高粱
But nothing compares with the green waves of sorghum in my hometown
秋季到来荷花香
Autumn comes and the lotus blossoms are fragrant
大姑娘夜夜梦家乡
Every night I have dreams about my hometown
醒来不见爹娘面
I wake up and do not see my parents' faces
只见床前明月光
I only see the bright moonlight before my bed
冬季到来雪茫茫
Winter comes and snow flurries everywhere
寒衣做好送情郎
I've sewn winter clothes to send to my lover
血肉筑成长城长
He contributed his blood and flesh to the great wall
奴愿做当年小孟姜
I am willing to be the Mengjiang woman of yesteryears
