The lyrics of the song
The rain of that night did not keep you, the wind of the valley accompanied me to cry, your camel bells seem to be still ringing in my ears
To tell me that you have been here before, I brewed a wine and could not get drunk, but the song you sang makes me
I was willing to accompany you over the snowy mountains and across the Gobi, but you left without saying goodbye and cut off all the news
My beloved, I'm waiting for you in the Cocotocai Sea, they said you married in Ili
Is it because of the beautiful Nalati, or is it because of the apricot blossoms that can make the sweetness that you want to have
And then, outside the felt room, there was another wine that was made by a man who had been in the country for years.
The sound of camel bells was heard outside the felt room, and I knew it wasn't you
No one else could have sung a song as beautiful as yours, and there was no other beautiful girl I could have forgotten
I couldn't get drunk on the wine I brewed, but I couldn't get drunk on the song you sang
I was willing to go with you over the snow-covered mountains and across the Gobi, but you just left without saying goodbye, and you broke all the news
It's not like I'm going to be able to get away with this, because I don't want to.
My beloved, I'm waiting for you in Cocotocai. They say you married in Ili
Is it because of the beautiful Nalati or the apricot blossoms there that the sweetness you want can be brewed
There are camel bells outside the felt huts again, and I know that it's not you
Nobody else could ever sing a song as touching as yours.
No one can sing a song as beautiful as yours, no one can make me forget a beautiful girl
My beloved, I'm waiting for you in Cocotocai, They say that you're married in Ili
Is it because of the beautiful Nalati or the apricot blossoms there that the sweetness of the wine can be brewed for you
There are camel bells outside of the carpeted room again, and I know that it's not you
There are camel bells outside of the carpeted room again, and I know that it's not you.
No one else can sing a song as touching as yours, and there is no other beautiful girl that I can hardly forget
"Shepherds of the Cocotocai Sea"
Third, the background of the creation of the song
Wang Qi usually creates a song by conceptualizing a story first, and then writes a song for this story. The Shepherd of the Cocoto Sea" describes a love story: a beekeeper who lost her husband and was bullied by locals in the Cocoto Sea with her two children, a young shepherd stood up to guard the mother and her three children, and the two of them fell in love. The beekeeper leaves without a word on a stormy night, telling the shepherd that she has married someone else. In the late fall, the grass and water of the Cocoto Sea are yellow and withered, making it unsuitable for shepherding, but the shepherd is reluctant to leave and waits for his beloved there. The main idea of the song is still forced by the reality of the pressure can not be a couple, for the sake of each other to make up a good lie, faithful waiting and waiting.
