Peacock Princess
Peacock Princess (ethnic song - Dai ethnic group) Lyrics:
That day the vulture was chasing the peacock again.
The passing prince drove the vulture into the clouds.
That day, the princess walked into the prince’s love.
Birds are singing and dancing by the waterside of Jinhu Lake.
That day, the vulture used war to frame the princess.
This time, the prince failed to spot the vulture.
That day, the princess looked at the prince on the expedition.
The waterside of Jinhu Lake was plunged into sad killings.
People believed the devil’s words, and beauty became an ominous thing.
People fell into the vulture’s lies, and the peacock became its prey.
Who can tell me where the peacock is.
Who will tell people the true story of the war.
I am your triumphant prince.
Where is your country?
Someone tell me where the peacock is.
Who can stop the pursuit.
The thousand years of reincarnation have come to an end.
My tears have long been blurred.
