"Shepherd Girl"
Singer: Yu Xuanxuan
Composer: Jinsha
Lyrics: Zou Difan
On the opposite mountain Girl, for whom do you herd the sheep?
Your clothes are soaked with tears, why are you so sad and sad
Your clothes are soaked with tears, why are you so sad and sad?
Look at how desolate the mountains are and how yellow the grass is
The sheep no longer have food, and the master’s whip is raised and whipped on me
< p>The sheep no longer have food, and the master’s whip is raised and whipped on meThe girl on the mountain opposite is so miserable when the wind blows at dusk
She is wearing thin clothes Thin clothes, why don't you go back to the village? Go back to the village
Wearing thin clothes, why don't you go back to the village?
The cold north wind blows me It's cold, I want to lean next to the sheep
I don't want to go back to the village anymore, the master's butcher knife is shining and wants to kill my sheep
I don't want to go back to the village anymore, the master The butcher's knife is shining and I want to kill my sheep
