have music will travel
Was cleaning out computer when found an mp3 of a wonderful bluegrass song, Song of the Traveling Daughter, by Abigail Washburn. The lyrics given on her music website are not exactly the same as the recording I have - though there is a highly entertaining Youtube fanvid using the mp3:
(verse 1)
门外有个世界 Outside the door, a world
心中有个声音 In the (my?) heart, a sound (voice)
四方等你来啊,游女,游女! Waiting for you to come from four corners (of the world), traveling daughter (girl)!
(verse 2)
脸上感到太阳 Face feels the sun
脚步随着星光 Footsteps follow starlight
天地载你纵游,游女,游女! Heaven and earth take you roaming free, traveling daughter!
(verse 3)
走了一山又一山 Crossing one mountain after another
这山过了那山来 This mountain passed, that one comes
心中有个声音 In my heart, a voice
游女,游女,游(yo-deling to draw out the word)...女..游...女..Traveling daughter...
(verse 1 repeat)
She was apparently inspired by Meng Jiao's classic poem Song of the Traveling Son (poem with English translation).
More Chinese bluegrass!
