歌手:鄧麗君 作詞:湖南民歌 作曲:
高高的樹上結檳榔
The betel nuts grow on the tall, tall tree.
誰先爬上誰先嘗
Who first climbs up will first taste them.
誰先爬上我替誰先裝
Who first climbs up I will first pack for him.
少年郎採檳榔
Young man picks the betel nuts.
小妹妹提籃抬頭望
I hold the basket and look up.
低頭又想呀
I lower my head and think
他又美 他又壯
He is also handsome, he is also strong.
誰人比他強
Who will be better than him?
趕忙來叫聲我的郎呀
I hurry to call my lover
青山高呀 流水長
The green mountain is tall, and the running water is long.
那太陽已殘 那歸鳥兒在唱
The Sun has set, and those returning birds are singing.
教我倆趕快回家鄉
They are telling the two of us to hurry back to our home village.
