Shuo Fengyang, dao Fengyang
Fengyang benshi hao difang. Zicong chuliao Zhu huangdi Shi nian dao you jiu nian huang. Dahu renjia gai hangye Xiaohu renjia mai erlang Nujia meiyou erlang mai Shen beizhe huagu zou taxiang |
Say Fengyang, sing Fengyang Fengyang once was a wealthy town But since the reign of Emperor Zhu Famine came in nine years out of ten. Rich men took to lowly trade, Poor men had to sell their sons I myself had no sons to sell So carrying my flower drum I left town. |
This is a humorous variation:

Left hand a gong, right hand a drum With gong and drum we sing a song. No other song do we know how to sing, We only know the Fengyang song Fengyang, Fengyang flower drum Ai-ya-ai-hu-ya! Drrr-lang-dang piao-yi-piao Drrr-lang-dang piao-yi-piao Drrr-piao, drrr-piao yu drrr-piao-piao-yi-piao (the woman) Sad is my fate, oh how sad, I spend my life with a good-for-nothing man. Other women's husbands have power and wealth, My husband only knows how to beat the flower drum All day long he beats that flower drum Ai-ya-ai-hu-ya! Drrr-lang-dang piao-yi-piao Drrr-lang-dang piao-yi-piao Drrr-piao, drrr-piao yu drrr-piao-piao-yi-piao (the man) Sad is my fate, oh how sad I spend my life with such an ugly mate Other men's wives can embroider and sew, But all my wife can do is show her great big feet Measuring more than one foot long Ai-ya-ai-hu-ya! |
