Love songs in Turpan (two)
Loevinger
apple tree
Young people under the apple tree,
You don't, don't sing any more;
The girl came along the canal,
The young heart is beating in the chest.
Why is her heart beating?
Why did you jump out of the beat? ……
In spring, girls work in orchards.
The song floated softly from her ear,
The buds of the branches have not yet opened,
The young man is looking forward to its early results.
Strange ideas that girls don't understand,
She said, don't bother me with singing.
The young man spent the summer in the orchard.
Staring at the girl while working,
This fruit is as big as a grape.
The young man sang and went to pick it.
Full of thoughts, the girl can't guess.
She said, "Don't haunt me like a shadow.
The red fruit bent the green branches,
Autumn is a mature season,
The girl couldn't sleep all night,
Do you miss that good apple tree?
Young people should understand these things,
She said, Why don't you say something?
..... Little Qiu Zi under the apple tree,
You don't, don't sing any more;
The girl came up on the lawn,
What's hidden in her smile? ……
Say that sincere word!
Love planted must be harvested.
The grapes are ripe.
The mare's milk grapes are ripe,
Fall in the green leaves,
The boys came back from the fields,
The girls still work in the vineyard.
The boys stood side by side on the roadside,
Qin Sang tugged at the girl's heartstrings,
My lips are dry from singing,
I haven't even tasted a grape
The boys were sad and angry,
Turned to leave:
"Poor girl!
Your grapes must be sour. "
The girls smiled knowingly,
Pick a few immature grapes,
Put it in that row of outstretched palms,
See how picky boys are. ...
The boys are eating sour grapes.
Smiling in your heart:
"Affectionate grapes!
She is sweeter than any candy. "
