Singing face sheet music
Lyrics: Yan Su?
Composition: Yao Ming?
Composed by Yao Ming
Foreigners call Beijing Opera,
Never seen the five-color oil paint on the face,
The "Four Strikes Head" is a debut, (wow ......).
Beautiful, wonderful, simply OK, top of the line!
Blue-faced Durden steals the royal horse,
Red-faced Guan Gong fights in Changsha,
Yellow-faced Dian Wei, white-faced Cao Cao,
Black-faced Zhang Fei is called Chattering!
Foreigners call Beijing Opera,
Never seen the five-color oil paint on the face,
The "Four Strike Heads" are on display (wow .....).
Beautiful, wonderful, just ok top!
The purple king of heaven is holding the pagoda,
the green devil is fighting the night fork,
the golden monkey king, the silver monster,
the gray elf is laughing!
(Interlude)
Foreigners call Beijing Opera,
Never seen the five-color oil paint on the face,
"Four Strikes on the Head" is on show (wow ......).
Beautiful, wonderful, just OK, top of the line!
A clear picture of a mandarin duck tile,
a group of vivid living bodhisattva,
a stroke of the pen, a little bit of exaggeration,
a sheet of face paint beauty Jiajia! (wahahaha ......)
