Lyrics:
Ah Ngau:
Ah, I'm walking in the east and he's walking in the west
Releasing the golden chicken to attract the foxes
Luring the foxes all over the mountain
Sunset is east and the sun sets in the west
The sun sets in the east and the sun sets in the west
The sun sets in the east and the sun sets in the west.
The sun goes out in the east and the moon goes down in the west.
Sister Liu Sanjie:
Ay, the sun rises in the east and the moon sets in the west,
Pedestrians have to thank the rooster for the fifth watch,
The rooster crows and the day breaks,
wolves, tigers and leopards are hiding their traces.
Ah!
Aniu:
Sister, don't worry,
There are people walking in the darkness of the night,
Everyone says that there is a tiger in the mountain,
Sister, I took a knife to stop the tiger's head.
Liu Sanjie:
Mei is not worried,
There are fishing boats with big waves,
Hand on the helm, sit firmly,
Brother, even if the waves hit the bow.
Aniu:
The wind blows the clouds and the sky doesn't move,
The water pushes the boat and the shore doesn't move,
Liu Sanjie:
The knife cuts the lotus root and the threads of the lotus root don't stop,
The axe cuts the river and the water doesn't stop moving.

Liu San Jie:
This is the first time I've heard of this song.
