China (Tibet) Folk Song--010: Fan Shen Nong Nu Ba Ge Chang -- Free Slaver Is Singing

LISTEN TO THE SONG BY SHIRLEY

Hi, friends, today I would like to introduce a China Tibet folk song Fan Shen Nong Nu Ba Ge ChangIn English means The Free Slave Is SingingLi Kun -- a post director created the lyrics, Yan Fei -- a post musician created the music. The most famous Tibetan musician Cai Dan Zuo Ma sang it firs time and made it famous.

On Wed, as soon as I found it from a thick Chinese movie songbook.I enjoyed its beautiful tone and decided to learn it on Saturday's music lesson.:-)

MAIN MEANING OF THE SONGSLISTEN TO THE SONG BY SHIRLEY:

The sun 's rays are bottomless in the morning,
The tercel is spreading their wings to fly,
The spring scenery in the tableland is immeasurable good,
How can me not sing?   

The snow mountain is flashing golden light,
Brahmaputra is turning over waves,
Blow away the black clouds to see the sun,
Happy song is being passed to all directions.
