Program Notes

Kangding Qingge (Chinese: 康定情歌) (literally Love Song of Kangding) is a traditional folk song of the city of Kangding, Sichuan Province, that has become popular across China.

- Program Note from Wikipedia


This particular arrangement was done by Chen Dan in 1999. The translation of the lyrics follows:

High upon the mountainside floats a cloud so white
There lies Kangding town, bathed in silver moonlight
Moonlight shines bright over Kangding town
Lovely maid with a sweet smile, Li, the woodcutter's daughter.
Zhang, the blacksmith's eldest son, comes to court her in moonlight.
Moonlight shines bright, a courtship in moonlight.
First, he has fallen in love because she is talented and good-looking.
Second, he has fallen in love because she can take care of the family.
The crescent moon can take care of the family.
Lovely maids of the world, I cannot but love you.
Gentlemen of the world, they cannot but woo you.
Moonlight shine bright, they cannot but woo you.

- Program note from University of North Texas Symphony Band concert program, 22 September 2016
