Lyrics to "18 Miles to Farewell" from the Vietnamese Opera "A Sister Lin Fell from the Sky".

"A Sister Lin Fell from the Sky"

A Sister Lin Fell from the Sky

Like a light cloud that has just emerged from the mountain peaks

I thought she was frivolous

But she turns out to have a very clear-cut personality

She's as serene as a flower that shines in the water

She's just like the wind that supports the willows

She has a beautiful look in her eyebrows and corners of the eyes

She shows tenderness in her voice and smile

She looks like a foreigner

But in her heart, she looks like an old friend. The magpies are chirping all over the tree, reporting their joy to you, Mr. Liang.

Liang Shanbo: The two of us went out, and the magpies in front of the door were in pairs. The magpies have been reporting good news to me, and I congratulate you on your safe journey home.

Zhu Yingtai: I went out of the city and crossed the border, but I only saw the woodcutter on the mountain carrying the firewood.

Liang Shanbo: It's hard to get up in the morning and down at night, and it's hard to make a living by fetching firewood.

Zhu Yingtai: Liang brother ah! I'm not going to be able to do that. I'm not going to be able to do that.

Liang Shanbo: He took the firewood for his wife and children, and I sent him down the mountain for you.

Zhu Yingtai: After a mountain and a mountain,

Liang Shanbo: In front of the Phoenix Mountain.

Zhu Yingtai: Hundreds of flowers bloom on Phoenix Mountain,

Liang Shanbo: There is a lack of peony **** peony.

Zhu Yingtai: If you love peonies, you should return home with me. If you love peonies, come home with me. I have a good peony at home.

Zhu Yingtai: Although your peony is good, it's a pity that it's a long way to climb.

Zhu Yingtai: The green lotus leaves are in the clear water, and the mandarin ducks are in pairs. I'm not sure if I'm a good person, but I'm not a good person! If Yingtai is a woman with red makeup, would you like to be paired with a mandarin duck?

Liang Shanbo: with mandarin ducks, with mandarin ducks, but it is a pity that you Yingtai is not a female red makeup.

Yinxin: There is a river in front of us,

SiJiu: A pair of big white geese floated in.

Zhu Yingtai: The male went in front, the female called her brother behind.

Liang Shanbo: I don't see the two geese coming to open their mouths, where is the female goose calling the male goose?

Zhu Yingtai: You do not see the female goose she smiled at you slightly, she laughed at you Liang brother is really like a dumb goose.

Liang Shanbo: Since I am a goose, from now on you do not call me Liang brother.

Four nine: a wooden bridge in front of me,

Zhu Yingtai: I am panicked and timid.

Liang Shanbo: I will help you to cross the bridge,

Zhu Yingtai: You and I are better than the Cowherd and the Weaver crossing the magpie bridge.

Being accompanied by the backing vocals: After the river bank, there is a farm, and the yellow dog inside the farm is barking.

Zhu Yingtai: I don't bite the man in the front, but the woman in the back.

Liang Shanbo: It's ridiculous for you to say that there is no female makeup here. I'm not afraid to enlarge my guts, I'll beat the dog to get you through the village.

Zhu Yingtai: There is a well in front of me, I don't know how deep it is?

Liang Shanbo: It doesn't matter how deep the well is, you and I have to hurry.

Zhu Yingtai: Look at the two shadows at the bottom of the well, a man and a woman smiling.

Liang Shanbo: My brother is obviously a man, why do you compare me to a woman?

Liang Shanbo: away from the well, and a hall, in front of the Guanyin Hall.

Liang Shanbo: I'm not a man, I'm a man, why do you compare me to a woman?

Zhu Yingtai: The Goddess of Mercy is the matchmaker, and I'm here to pay my respects to your brother Liang.

Liang Shanbo: It's absurd to say that two men can't marry each other.

Backing track: We left the ancient temple and went forward,

Yinxin: But we saw a cow coming.

April 9: The shepherd boy rode on the back of the ox,

Silverheart: Singing a song to relieve your sorrow.

Zhu Yingtai: It's a pity that the cow doesn't know how to play the piano, and it's a pity that your brother Liang is as stupid as a cow.

Zhu Yingtai: It's a pity that the cow doesn't know how to play the piano, but it's a pity that the cow is so stupid!

Zhu Yingtai: Please Liang brother you do not move fire, little brother to apologize to recognize the mistake.

Zhu Yingtai: Thanks to your Liang brother's deep love, climbed the mountain and walked through the water to send me on my way. As the saying goes, "If you want to send me away for a thousand miles, you have to say goodbye," so please stay here and go back.

Liang Shanbo: I am y attached to you, let me send you to the pavilion again.

Backing track: 18 miles to Changting, 18 miles to Changting.

Zhu Yingtai: You and I are separated by wild geese,

Liang Shanbo: What else do you want to explain?

Zhu Yingtai: I want you to ask a word before leaving, ask Liang brother you have a wife at home room with?

Liang Shanbo: You already know that my brother is not married, why do you ask today?

Zhu Yingtai: If your brother Liang's marriage is not yet decided, I will do the matchmaking for you.

Zhu Yingtai: If your brother Liang's marriage is not yet settled, I will be the matchmaker for you.

Zhu Yingtai: It's my little nine sisters, I don't know if you Liang brother can love?

Liang Shanbo: How old is the ninth sister?

Zhu Yingtai: She is the same year with me is a twin.

Liang Shanbo: Nine sisters and you can be similar?

Zhu Yingtai: The character is like my Yingtai.

Liang Shanbo: But I don't know if Renbo is willing to do it.

Zhu Yingtai: My father asked me to choose the best.

Liang Shanbo: thank you for coming,

Zhu Yingtai: Liang brother, your sedan chair come early to carry. I'll ask you to come to my house on the date of the seven coincidences,

Backing Rib: It's hard to part with you when you're leaving. I want to say a thousand words in my heart, and I hope you, Liang, will come earlier.
