Sung by: Xi Xiulan
The betel nut is on a tall tree
Whoever climbs the tree first will taste it first
Whoever climbs the tree first, I'll load it for him
The young boy picks betel nut
Young girl looks up with a basket
Looking down, I think to myself
He's beautiful and he's strong
Who is stronger than he is
Hurry up and call out to me. He's strong
Call out to me, my boy
The mountains are high and the water is long
The sun has gone down
The birds are singing
Tell us to go home quickly
MUSIC
The betel nut is on the tree
Whosever gets to the tree first gets a taste of it
Whosever climbs up first gets a taste
Whosever climbs up first gets the nut first.
The boy picks betel nut
The little sister looks up with her basket
Looking down, she thinks
He's beautiful, he's strong
Who's better than he is
Call out to me, my boy
The mountains are high and the rivers are long
The sun has gone down
The birds are singing
Tell me to hurry home. We're going home now
