Search “李玟 刀馬旦” on YouTube明明早上人还在香港 还在九龙茶馆喝褒汤
Clearly, in the morning, I was still in Hong Kong, still drinking soup at a teahouse in Kowloon.
怎么场景一下跳西安 我在护城河的堤岸
How did the scene suddenly jump to Xi'an? I’m at the embankment of the city moat.
站在古老神秘的城墙 月光摇又晃
Standing on the ancient, mysterious city wall, the moonlight sways and flickers.
我用英语跟小贩交谈 突然画面一下就全暗
I talk to the vendor in English, and suddenly the scene goes completely dark.
(我) 还在想 到底身在何方
I’m still thinking about where I truly am.
(我) 变模样 是个华裔姑娘
I change my appearance; I’m a Chinese girl.
(我) 开始想 认真细心装扮
I start to think and carefully prepare my look.
(我) 回台上 终于轮我上场
I return to the stage, finally it's my turn to perform.
耍花枪 一个后空翻 腰身跟著转 马步扎的稳当
Performing with a flourish, a backflip; my waist turns smoothly, grounded in a firm stance.
耍花枪 比谁都漂亮 接著唱一段 虞姬和霸王
Performing with a flourish, prettier than anyone else, then I sing a segment about the beautiful Yuji and the overlord.
耍花枪 舞台的戏班 二胡拉的响 观众用力鼓掌
Performing with a flourish, with the theater's ensemble, the erhu plays loudly, and the audience claps vigorously.
耍花枪 比谁都漂亮 刀马旦身段 演出风靡全场
Performing with a flourish, prettier than anyone else, the grace of the knife and horse dancer captivates the whole audience.
一口粮一张床一面墙一扇窗 我洒下一片月光
A bite of grain, a bed, a wall, a window; I cast a piece of moonlight.
一次种下一亩高粱 一个人在北大荒
Once I plant an acre of sorghum, alone in the desolate north.
一碗热汤 啊 温暖了我一个晚上
A bowl of hot soup warms me for an entire night.
一匹苍狼一身风霜 走过丝路回家乡
A gray wolf, battle-worn, walks back home through the Silk Road.
站在古老神秘的城墙 月光摇又晃
Standing on the ancient, mysterious city wall, the moonlight sways and flickers.
