Red Saddle Song

Red Saddle

Originally sung by: Zhao Zhen, Dongfang Hongyan

Lyrics: Zhao Zhen

Composer: Zhao Zhen

Woman:

A breeze in front of the yurt

Blowing away my face

My beloved brother

will be leaving the steppe

Leaving me a beautiful red saddle

Tears in my eyes.

The beautiful red saddle

Leaning on your shoulder

The tears are pouring down

Man:

My favorite sister of the grassland

Please keep me in your thoughts

This night I bid farewell to you, my dear

I'll miss you every day

This goodbye, I don't know

When will we be together again

If my sister If you miss me

look at the red saddle

Woman:

Brother's red saddle

It's so warm to be by my side

The night I think of you on the steppe

won't be lonely any more

Man:

My sister's Mongolian yurt

has my brother's red saddle

It's the love that my brother has left behind

I will always keep my love with me.

To keep you company forever

Woman:

A breeze in front of the yurt

Blows my face away

My beloved brother

will be leaving the grassland

Leaving me

A beautiful red saddle before his departure

To lean on your shoulder

The tears were tearful

Man:

The yurts are the most important part of my life.

Male:

My favorite grassland sister

Please keep me in your thoughts

I bid you farewell tonight

I'll miss you every day

I don't know when we'll meet again at this parting

If you miss me, please take a look at the red saddle

Female:

Yes, I'm glad to see you again.

How warm it is to be by your side

The night of thinking of you on the grassland

won't be lonely anymore

Male:

Sister's yurt

has my brother's red saddle

That's the love my brother left behind

Will always be there for you

It is the love of my brother.
