Peking Opera "Rap Face" Lyrics

Lyrics to the Peking Opera song "Rapping Faces" are as follows:

Singer: Xie Jin

On that day, my grandpa took me to see the Peking Opera

I saw a lot of big faces on the stage

Red, white, yellow, green and blue grinning and staring

Singing and shouting wow, yay, yay, yay

Like thunderclaps in the ears

Blue-faced Douerdun steals the imperial horse

Red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha

Yellow-faced Dian Wei and white-faced Cao Cao

Black-faced Zhang Fei screams

To be honest, Peking Opera's face paint is really pretty

But the singing and the speaking are all in dialect that is hard to understand

The singing and the singing are all in dialect, and I don't understand them

Slowly and slowly. The band's accompaniment is just gongs and drums

Long and grey

How can it keep up with the times and the trend

Attracting today's youth

Purple heavenly kings hold the pagodas

Green devils fight with nightmares

Golden monkeys fight with silver demons

Grey elves smile and laugh. The gray genie laughs

My grandpa got angry and said I was purely messing around

What a beautiful and wonderful art, a Chinese treasure

Even foreigners clapped their hands and applauded

The singing, reading, and playing of the raw materials, the dan, the jing, the jing, the jing, the jing, the jing, the jing, the jing, the jing, and the jing, the jing and the jing, the kung fu of the hands, eyes, and body is really something

You don't know anything about opera, you are full of shit

I was angry with my grandpa's beard, and his face.

Grandpa's beard turned up in his face

Don't be angry, Grandpa, allow me to defend myself

Even if it's a delicacy, it's still boring to eat

Art can't be too far removed from the times

It needs to be innovated and developed, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.
