Title: "Walking to Xikou"
Album: "Shaanbei Folk Songs"
Song: Li Guyi
Brother, you walk to Xikou, the little sister is really difficult to stay
The mention of brother, you walk to Xikou, ah, little sister tears often flowed
To send out of the main gate, the little sister, I do not lose my hand
There are a couple of words of love, ah, brother you remember in your heart
Walking, you walk on the road, never go on a small road
The people on the road, the person who is the main road.
Walk on the main road, don't take the small road
There are many people on the main road, talk to each other to relieve your worries
Brother, if you go to the west, it's hard for me to stay
Mentioning that you're going to the west, I always cry
Send me out to the main gate, I won't lose my hands
There are two words of love, I know you'll never lose your hands. Extended information:
"Walking in the West" was originally sung by Li Guyi, and the song was included in the album "Country Love".
Walking West is a Shanxi local folk song. It is said to have been circulating for one or two hundred years. The song is not only sung by people in Shanxi, but also by many people in Shanxi's neighboring Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, and even a little further away in Ningxia, Qinghai and Gansu.
The song "Walking to the West" became a hit in the 70's when it was rearranged by the famous singer Zhu Fengbo, who made the song new, but kept the flavor of the original song.
