The tears of Xikou
Can't flow out of the tenderness of our ancestors
When the camel bells of the loess slopes were heard
My brother outside of the mouth
Was holding on to the relatives in the hometown
Ouch! Ouch! Yo!
The home of the red Shenzhou
The dream of flying
Back to the arms of the north
Ouch, ouch, ouch
Ouch, ouch, ouch
......
Going west is a piece of the history of the Shanxi people's family, and a piece of the history of blood and tears. To this day, the Baotou area of Inner Mongolia, it is easy to hear the Shanxi accent, see Shanxi hometown, is the Shanxi people to go to the west of the roots of the epitome of the point. As the saying goes, "Hequ BaoDeZhou, ten years, nine years, no harvest. Men go outside the mouth, women digging bitter vegetables", but wherever you can keep your home in the land wife and children hot bed, who wants to leave their homes to go abroad to make a living? The only way to do this is to leave your family behind and go to the west exit, to go out of the mouth to make a living.
"Brother you go Xikou, little sister I really difficult to stay ......", than once long sung folk song "go Xikou", this one Xikou love more atmospheric, more can shake the heart caused by **** Ming.
"Walking west of the tears, not all the flow of the ancestors of the tenderness," the opening song inherited the traditional "Walking west of the" tune and mood, the role of the transposition into the loess slopes on the camel bells ringing far away from the mouth of the brother outside the mouth of the hometown of the pro pro-relationships. However, there is a deeper and broader meaning than this: "The big yellow wind blows the wandering sarongs, blowing off the way back to the roots of the big elm tree." It can be imagined that there are no relatives outside of the mouth, relying on one's own strength to open up the frontier. Desert quicksand, the night wind whistles, the vast journey home is covered in the long sand, but the rhubarb wind is crazy again and again crazy, but also keep blowing the root of the big elm tree, the heart can not forget is still the hometown of the land at home loved ones, that is the heart of the wanderer's eternal foundation.
The second paragraph of the song has the mood in the foreign land struggling to take root. Buckwheat noodles, bitter vegetables, with a stubborn personality, dandelion roots, the Yellow River water watering the golden harvest. Shanxi people are hard-working, no matter where you go can be rooted and plowed a good world, open up their own big business opportunities. The Ming and Qing dynasties Jin merchants through the four seas, rich, is relying on a force of this color toughness and honesty and trustworthiness of the endowment. Walking west of the mouth can not be rich and famous, but through hard work and wisdom in the vast prairie to break out into a new world, after returning home to buy a house and buy a field to seal his wife and son. After many years of hard work, the clothes return home, the flowers are red, the dream of flying back to the arms of the North.
The whole song is a stirring, rhythmic and staccato. The singer's passion soared, and the listener was mesmerized. Singing out the Shanxi people's tenderness and bravado, said generations of Shanxi people love their hometown to build their hometown of the national sentiment. Every time the sound of music, always let a person in the scene of the blood boiling.
A new Shanxi folk song "Xikou love", friends may wish to listen to more.
