The girl in Dabancheng
Arranger: Wang
Lyrics:
The stone road in Dabancheng is hard and flat.
Watermelon is big and sweet.
All the girls in Dabancheng have long braids.
What beautiful eyes.
If you get married,
Don't marry anyone else
Be sure to marry me
Have millions of dollars.
Take your sister.
Come with the carriage.
Introduction to the song:
Dabancheng Girl is the first Uygur folk song composed by Wang in Lanzhou. It is also the first Uygur folk song translated into Chinese in modern China.
On 1938, Wang's anti-war drama group organized a get-together. A Uighur driver with a small flower hat and a moustache sang a short Uighur song. Wang touched a keen musical nerve. He quickly wrote down the melody of this song with the shorthand method he learned at school, and asked a Uighur vendor in Lanzhou to make a simple translation of the lyrics. He quickly put it into a short and fluent Dabancheng Girl. The girls in Dabancheng are all very beautiful.
