Lyrics 1

The stream is clear and the water is long

The Picking Tea Dance Song

The two sides of the stream are very nice

Yes, you are planting rice in Fanfan

Sister, you are busy picking tea in East Mountain and West Mountain

Planting rice is very joyful

There is a great deal of happiness in the planting of tea plants.

Busy picking tea on both sides of the stream

Sister, picking tea is like a phoenix nodding its head

Sister, picking tea is like a fish jumping into a net

Row by row, row by row

Picked leaves in the basket

Thousands of strands, thousands of strands, tens of thousands of strands

Small strands of new tea, fresh scent

How to save money, how to save time. Picking tea

The new tea is sent to the towns and villages

Sent to the towns and villages

The left hand picks the tea, the right hand picks the tea

The two hands and the two eyes work together

One hand goes first and the other hand comes second

It's just like the two roosters competing for the rice

The two baskets are hanging on the two bladders

The two hands have to be separated in the tea picking process

The two hands have to be divided. Once and again

No dizziness

No blurred vision

Shake and shake

There is tea for every year's harvest

Lyrics 2

The stream is clear and the water is long

The two sides of the stream are so beautiful

Brother, you're hard at work planting rice seedlings

Sister, you're busy picking tea in the east and west mountains.

Plugging rice seedlings with joyful joy

Picking tea with blossom

Plugging rice seedlings evenly and quickly

Picking tea with fragrance

You are not afraid of tiring yourself when you are chasing after me

Dare to fight with the God for the springtime light

Oh, fight for the springtime light

Picking tea from the left, picking tea from the right

Picking tea from the left, picking tea from the right

Hand and hand at the same time

One hand first, one hand first, two hands first.

One hand first, one hand second

Like two roosters fighting over rice

Two tea baskets hanging from two bladders

Two hands picking tea should be separated

Picked once and then again

No dizziness

No blindness

Much and much (and come to be) fast

Yearly harvest of Longjing tea
