LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG

This is a Laku folk (Yunna) from movieLove Song Of Reed & Reed Pipe, Mr. Yu Yanfu wrote the lyrics and Mr. Lei Zhenpang created the music. Mr. Zhang Zhenfu and Geng Lianfeng sang them first time and made it popular...

MAIN MEANING OF THE SONG

The affection of brother and sister is long,
it just like the flowing water
to sound day and night,
Flowing water will end,
brother will always be around me.

The affection of brother and sister is deep,
it just like the banana with same root.
Brother is just like the leaves of the banana,
sister is just the heart of the banana...

a couple of swallow is flying up to the sky,
brother and I are playing the swing.
Swing is flying in the bright sky,
just like a swallow
that is flying through in the clouds...

a bows can not shoot
if it has no a bowstring ,
sister is just like the string of the bow

The sweetest in the world is honey,
brother's heart is sweeter then the honey.
bees are coming for the blossoming,
flowers and bees can not be aparted.
bees love flowers as soon as they are born,
flowers are blossoming for the bees...
