在那遥远的地方
In that distant place,
有位好姑娘
There lives a lovely girl.
人们走过了她的帐房
As people pass by her tent,
都要回头留恋地张望
They all turn back, lingering to glance.
她那粉红的小脸
Her little pink face,
好像红太阳
Is like the red sun.
她那美丽动人的眼睛
Her beautiful, enchanting eyes,
好像晚上明媚的月亮
Are like the bright moon at night.
我愿流浪在草原
I long to wander on the grassland,
跟她去放羊
To graze sheep alongside her.
每天看著那粉红的小脸
Every day I gaze at that rosy little face,
和那美丽金边的衣裳
And that lovely dress with golden trims.
在那遥远的地方
In that distant place,
有位好姑娘
Lives a fair maiden.
人们走过了她的帐房
People passing by her tent,
都要回头留恋地张望
All turn back to gaze with fond longing.
我愿做一只小羊
I wish to be a little lamb,
跟在她身旁
Following by her side.
我愿她拿著细细的皮鞭
I wish she'd hold a slender whip,
不断轻轻打在我身上
Gently striking me over and over.
我愿她拿著细细的皮鞭
I wish she held a slender whip,
不断轻轻打在我身上
Continuously tapping gently upon my skin.
