Lyrics of moonlight on Niyang River by Shen Wencheng

The winding river

Slowly through the hills

Red peach blossom

Quietly spitting fragrance

A little boy

Driving herds of cattle and sheep

My kind mother is cooking butter tea

When the moon rises in the East

She's going to pack

Along the river

Follow the light

Over the snow white Mira mountain

He's going to Lhasa far away

Kowtow in front of the Bodhisattva in the Jokhang Temple

Because that's the mother

The last wish of my life

Moonlight on the Niyang River

Like the tears of the mother

I miss that far away child Lang wandering in another country

The moonlight on the Niyang River is still so bright

Looking forward to the distant child Lang's early return home

Ah ~ ~ ~ er Lang

When will I return to my hometown

The winding river

Slowly through the hills

Red peach blossom

Quietly spitting fragrance

A little boy

Driving herds of cattle and sheep

My kind mother is cooking butter tea

When the moon rises in the East

She's going to pack

Along the river

Follow the light

Over the snow white Mira mountain

He's going to Lhasa far away

Kowtow in front of the Bodhisattva in the Jokhang Temple

Because that's the mother

The last wish of my life

Moonlight on the Niyang River

Like the tears of the mother

I miss that far away child Lang wandering in another country

The moonlight on the Niyang River is still so bright

Looking forward to the distant child Lang's early return home

Ah ~ ~ ~ er Lang

When will I return to my hometown
