I Cut Bamboo in the Backyard

I cut bamboo in the backyard,

In a daydream, I saw you standing by my kang ;

Joyfully, I struck a match to light the oil lamp,

But alas, I could not see you there,

And angrily, I flung stones at the kang .

第一句“后花园里割竹竿”与后面的歌词内容无明显关联，是一种用来开头的“套话”。

“炕”是在中国北方住宅里用砖或土坯砌成的睡觉用的长方台，上面铺席，下面有孔道，跟烟囱相通，可以烧火取暖。（ Kang : a heatable brick bed） zty6YvtHNrnc7Wn09j5Q87LNdbjX190VNFWkOKVUk+t6Armmy8QauV5Q3s6NbNzo
