Lyrics by Zhang Jiayi
Lyrics:
The beautiful night is so quiet
On the grassland, only the sound of my zither is left behind
They would like to write a letter to a girl in a faraway place
It is a pity that there is no letter carrier to to send a letter
Wait until the snow melts
Wait until the grassland sends a spring breeze
Kokodara has changed its shape
The girl will come to accompany the sound of my qin
Come to .........
The girl will come to accompany my piano
Come to .........
The girl will come to accompany my piano
