Текст и перевод песни 李玟 - Dow Ma Dan

Dow Ma Dan

明明早上人還在香港
還在九龍茶館喝褒湯
怎麼場景一下跳西安
我在護城河的堤岸

站在古老神秘的城牆
月光搖又晃
我用英語跟小販交談
突然畫面一下就全暗

(我) 還在想 到底身在何方
(我) 變模樣 是個華裔姑娘
(我) 開始想 認真細心裝扮
(我) 回台上 終於輪我上場

耍花槍 一個後空翻 腰身跟著轉 馬步紮的穩當
耍花槍 比誰都漂亮 接著唱一段 虞姬和霸王
耍花槍 舞台的戲班 二胡拉的響 觀眾用力鼓掌
耍花槍 比誰都漂亮 刀馬旦身段 演出風靡全場

一口糧一張床一面牆一扇窗 我灑下一片月光
一次種下一畝高粱 一個人在北大荒
一碗熱湯 啊 溫暖了我一個晚上
一匹蒼狼一身風霜 走過絲路回家鄉

站在古老神秘的城牆
月光搖又晃
我用英語跟小販交談
突然畫面一下就全暗

(我) 還在想 到底身在何方
(我) 變模樣 是個華裔姑娘
(我) 開始想 認真細心裝扮
(我) 回台上 終於輪我上場

耍花槍 一個後空翻 腰身跟著轉 馬步紮的穩當
耍花槍 比誰都漂亮 接著唱一段 虞姬和霸王
耍花槍 舞台的戲班 二胡拉的響 觀眾用力鼓掌
耍花槍 比誰都漂亮 刀馬旦身段 演出風靡全場

耍花槍 一個後空翻 腰身跟著轉 馬步紮的穩當
耍花槍 比誰都漂亮 接著唱一段 虞姬和霸王

Dow Ma Dan

This morning, I was still in Hong Kong
Drinking herbal soup in a tea house in Kowloon
How did I suddenly end up in Xi'an?
I'm on the bank of the moat

Standing on the ancient, mysterious city wall
The moonlight shimmers
I spoke to a vendor in English
Suddenly, everything went dark

(I'm) wondering where I am now
(I'm) transformed, a Chinese-American girl
(I'm) starting to think, dressing up carefully
(I'm) going back on stage, it's finally my turn

Wielding a spear, a backflip, my waist follows, my horse stance is steady
Wielding a spear, more beautifully than anyone, then sing a section of Yu Ji and the Overlord
Wielding a spear, on the stage, the opera company, the erhu playing, the audience applauding
Wielding a spear, more beautifully than anyone, the female warrior's form, performance captivating the audience

A ration of grain, a bed, a wall, a window, I shed a ray of moonlight
Once, I planted an acre of sorghum, all by myself in the Northern Wilderness
A bowl of hot soup, ah, it warmed me up for a night
A gray wolf, a body weathered by the wind and frost, walking the Silk Road back home

Standing on the ancient, mysterious city wall
The moonlight shimmers
I spoke to a vendor in English
Suddenly, everything went dark

(I'm) wondering where I am now
(I'm) transformed, a Chinese-American girl
(I'm) starting to think, dressing up carefully
(I'm) going back on stage, it's finally my turn

Wielding a spear, a backflip, my waist follows, my horse stance is steady
Wielding a spear, more beautifully than anyone, then sing a section of Yu Ji and the Overlord
Wielding a spear, on the stage, the opera company, the erhu playing, the audience applauding
Wielding a spear, more beautifully than anyone, the female warrior's form, performance captivating the audience

Wielding a spear, a backflip, my waist follows, my horse stance is steady
Wielding a spear, more beautifully than anyone, then sing a section of Yu Ji and the Overlord
