Lyrics and translation 鳳飛飛 - 采槟榔

采槟榔

采 槟 榔

高高的树上结槟榔
谁先爬上谁先尝

谁先爬上我替谁先装
少年郎采槟榔
小妹妹提篮抬头望
低头想又想呀
他又美 他又壮
谁人比他强
赶忙来叫声我的郎呀
青山高呀 流水长
那太阳已残
那归鸟儿在唱
教我俩赶快回家乡

高高的树上结槟榔
谁先爬上谁先尝

谁先爬上我替谁先装
少年郎采槟榔
小妹妹提篮抬头望
低头想又想呀
他又美 他又壮
谁人比他强
赶忙来叫声我的郎呀
青山高呀 流水长
那太阳已残
那归鸟儿在唱
教我俩赶快回家乡

Areca Nut Picking

Areca Nut Picking

Areca nuts grow on the tall trees,
Whoever climbs first gets to try them first.

Whoever climbs first, I'll put some in their bag.
Young man, picking areca nuts,
Young lady, holding a basket, looking up,
Looking down, thinking,
He's handsome and strong,
Who can compare to him?
Quickly call out to my love.
The green hills are high, the river is long,
The sun is setting.
The birds are singing,
Telling us to hurry back home.
