My sweetheart! The flowing stream around the mountain is clear and clean. The moon is shining over the hillside. Looking at the moon and thinking of my sweetheart, the breezes are sweeping past the hillside. My sweetheart! Don’t you hear me cry?THE SUN IS RISING WITH OUR JOYThe sun is rising, up to the mountain with my shoulder pole.The hatchet is in my hand, I am not afraid of wild beasts.Passing many mountains, one after another.If we work hard, we don’t have to worry about food and clothing.
