扇子舞 扇子舞
Fan dance, fan dance
气氛暖 情调高
The atmosphere is warm, the vibe is high
扇子舞 要姿态
Fan dance, it's all about the grace
准确地流露
Expressing it precisely
扇子舞 你跟我
Fan dance, you dance with me
我跟你 才是好
I dance with you, that's what feels right
脱衣舞 看不到
Striptease, can't you see
这壮烈程度
This level of grandeur
花式一致 方式一致
All styles matched, all ways aligned
大家都叫好
Everyone cheers in delight
动作 高攀一寸
A movement, reaching a bit higher
左倾一寸
Tilting to the left just a bit
便不识配合时务
Then I won't recognize the timing
东西一致 高低一致
East and west align, highs and lows in sync
动作 早摆一秒 多摆一个
A movement, set a second earlier, just a bit longer
突出一位怎算好
How to measure a standout performance?
摇 荡 游 摆 遮 转 扫
Sway, swing, drift, dance, cover, turn, sweep
扇子舞
Fan dance
找不到扇子如何是好
What to do if I can't find the fan?
扇子舞
Fan dance
扇子舞比爱情残酷
The fan dance is more cruel than love.
方式一致 大家都叫好
The way is the same, everyone cheers.
动作 高攀一寸
A move, an inch higher to aspire.
左倾一寸
An inch to the left, daring to shift.
便不识配合时务
Then there's no heed to the times we face.
东西一致 高低一致
East and west agree, up and down in place.
集体出国宝
Collectively, we shine like national treasures.
动作 早摆一秒 多摆一个
A move, a second early, another pose to please.
突出一位怎算好
How does one stand out, what is the right way?
遮 转 扫
Cover, turn, sweep.
扇子舞 见一眼
A fan dance, just a glance
掩一眼 才是好
Cover one eye, that's what’s good
脱衣舞赤裸到身世亦流露
A striptease, bare to the bone, revealing life's story too
