Song of Kuizhou Bamboo Branches: No. 5
夔 州 竹 枝 歌
白 头 老 媪 篸 红 花
黑 头 女 娘 三 髻 丫。
背 上 儿 眼 上 山 去
采 桑 已 闲 当 采 茶。
Kui Zhou Zhu Zhi Ge
Bai tou lao ao zan hong hua
Hei tou nu niang san ji ya.
Bei shang er yan shang shan qu
Cai sang yi xian dang cai cha.
Song of Kuizhou Bamboo Branches: No. 5
Old white-haired women with hairpins and red flowers
Black-haired mothers with hair up in three buns.
Carrying children on their backs, to and from the mountains
Mulberry picking all finished, in leisure they seek to gather tea leaves.
