Xinjiang Uygur Folk Songs

Xinjiang Uygur Folk Song: Youth Dance

The lyrics are as follows:

The sun goes down and still comes up in the morning, and the flowers bloom the same next year after they've given up their thanks

Beautiful birds are gone, but they never come back

My youth, like the birds, doesn't come back.

The song "Youth Dance" uses the "fish bites the tail" technique, which makes the first, second and fourth lines basically similar in terms of meter, while the first and fourth lines are exactly the same, and the third line's meter is completely different, giving the song a chic flavor: it looks simple, but it is catchy, bright and joyful.
