Three Chinese Love Songs, by Bright Sheng
I. Blue Flower
Golden thread and blue thread,
They are so pretty,
Just like the beaufirul girl,
Her name is Blue Flower.
II. At the Hillside Where Horses Are Running
At the hillside where horses are running,
Right above it is the beautiful cloud,
Which shine over
The city of Kang-Ding.
So pretty is
The girl from Lee’s family,
So much in love with her is
The boy from Zang’s family.
III. The Stream Flows
The rising moon shines brightly,
It reminds me of my love in the mountains.
Like the moon, you walk in the sky,
As the crystal stream flows down the mountain.
The rising moon shines brightly,
It reminds me of my love in the mountains
A clear breeze blows up the hill,
My love, do you hear I am calling you?
