Lyrics

作曲 : Traditional
High upon the mountain side
Floats a cloud so white
There lies peaceful Kang Ding town
Bathed in silver moonlight
Moonlight shines bright
Over Kang Ding town, oh
Lovely maid with a smile so sweet
Li the wood cutter’s daughter
Gheng the blacksmith eldest’s son
Came through moonlight to court her
Moonlight shines bright
Over Kang Ding town, oh
Came through moonlight to court her
He fell in love with her smile so sweet
And her pleasing ways, oh
She could cook and she could sew
Care for him all of his days, oh
Moonlight shines bright
Over Kang Ding town, oh
Care for him all of his days, oh
Lovely maidens of the world
I cannot but love you
Gentlemen folk of the world
They cannot but woe you
Moonlight shines bright
Over Kang Ding town, oh
They cannot but woe you
Moonlight shines bright
Over Kang Ding town, oh
