Lyrics of the legend of Torch Festival by Tan Jing

A day in the southwest of China

Eryuan king is going to Nanzhao King's feast

The beautiful and clever queen was aware of the danger behind the feast

King, don't be deceived

The queen gave the bracelet to the king in tears

Wine singing and dancing

The kings were drunk one after another, and King Nanzhao ordered the fire to be lit

Everything turned to ashes

ah

They occupied the lakes and mountains of small countries

The poor queen found her husband with her bracelet

Deep in sorrow

All night long

King Nanzhao

Tell queen Er yuan about her love for her beauty

The more the queen refused, the more infatuated the king was

Beautiful queen, marry me

Marriage cannot be changed, said the queen

Please let me burn my husband's robe without regret

Chaidui emperor's Robe

King Nanzhao ordered the firewood pile to be lit

The flames are getting higher and higher

ah

The cigarette curled in silence

The beautiful queen wears a splendid robe

Jump into the fire

The fire is shining in the night sky
