a little love ditty becomes poetry for the ages
all of humanity is drawn to you
the moon over dartsedo is round & bright
snowcapped kangding, my homeland
there's a beloved girl on paomo mountain
singing day & night at yarra river below paomo mountain
beautiful kangding is a paradise on earth
colorful changhaizi lake is all dressed up for you
zheduo river is doing a folk dance for you
mugecuo blesses you peace & happiness
a little love ditty sung thousands of times
a little boat sailing for thousands of years
a little lover's pact for hundreds of years
a little love affair relayed for eternity
oh-ya-luo-suo
the eldest chang brother has gone far away
the eldest lee sister has changed her looks
oh, what a handsome boy
yo, what a pretty girl
gorgeous singing, so intoxicating
intoxicating the bosom, the moon, & the sun
