(Chinese folk song)
Shān qīng shuǐ míng yōu jìng jìng.
Hú xīn piāo lái fēng yīzhèn ya.
Xíng ya xíng ya, jìn ya jìn
Huánghūn shíhòu rén xíng shǎo
Bàn kòng yuè yǐng shuǐmiàn yáo ya
Xíng ya xíng ya, jìn ya jìn
English Translation - Boat on Lake Tai
In the tranquility by the green mountains and the clear water,
a breeze wafts over from the center of the lake.
Going, going; moving on
In the twilight few people are around
The image of the half-risen moon shimmers on the surface of the water
Going, going; moving on

Chinese - 太湖船
山青水明幽静静
湖心飘来风一阵呀
行呀行呀, 进呀进
黄昏时候人行少
半空月影水面摇呀
行呀行呀, 进呀进
