The Tea Picking Dance
Lyrics: Zhou Dafeng Composer: Zhou Dafeng
Performer: Ye Caihua
Language: Mandarin
The streams are clear and long, and both sides of the streams are so nice and beautiful.
The stream is clear and long,
The two sides of the stream are busy picking tea.
You are like a phoenix nodding its head,
You are like a fish jumping over the net,
Row by row, row by row,
Pick the leaves and put them in the basket,
Thousands of baskets, thousands of baskets, thousands of baskets,
Basket by basket of new tea, fresh scent,
The song of good harvest sung year after year,
Tea picking girls are joyful,
Joyful,
The tea picking girls are joyous,
Joyful,
The tea picking girls are joyous. The tea-picking girls are very happy.
Picking tea on the left and picking tea on the right,
The two hands and the two shoulders go down together,
One hand comes first and the other hand comes second,
Like two roosters fighting over the rice, one after the other,
The two roosters fight for the rice, one after the other, one after the other.
One tea basket hangs from the chest,
The two hands picking tea should be separated,
Picked for a while to stop,
No dizziness to eyes,
More and more to fast and fast,
Yearly harvest of Longjing tea.
