Mulan Ci
Translation: Wang Rongpei
Chatting, Mulan is knitting at home.
I don't smell the loom, only the woman's sigh.
What is this woman thinking? Ask the woman what she remembers.
Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember.
Seeing the military post last night, Khan sent more soldiers.
The art of war consists of twelve volumes, which contain the names of lords.
Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother,
I am willing to be a pommel horse in the city and sign for you from now on.
Alas, alas, alas Alas, alas, alas
Mulan is knitting the finest cloth.
A rotating drone that listens but doesn't smell;
You only hear the sighs and moans of girls.
"Good girl, what's going on in your mind?
Good girl, do you have any thoughts that you can't forget? "
"I didn't occupy my mind;
There is nothing I can't stay.
I saw the new recruitment list last night;
Khan is rallying people to fight.
The twelve lists are literally the same;
My father's name is on every list.
My father doesn't have any adult sons;
I don't have a brother to carry a gun.
I'm going to buy a strong horse and mat.
To fight for my father. "
Buy horses in the east market and saddles in the west market.
Buy halters in the south and whips in the north.
Go to say goodbye to your parents and stay by the Yellow River at dusk.
I didn't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I heard the Yellow River splashing.
Say goodbye to the Yellow River and go to Montenegro at dusk.
I can't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I hear the chirping of Yanshan Huqi.
Wan Li to Rongji, the mountain is flying.
The breath of the new moon is golden, and the cold light is iron.
The general died in battle, and the strong man returned in ten years.
She bought a strong horse in the oriental market;
She bought a saddle in the western market;
She bought a bridle in the southern market;
She bought a whip in the northern market.
She left her dearest parents during the day,
Spend the night by the Yellow River.
She will never hear her parents' voices again,
But I only heard the raging floods around me.
She left the Yellow River during the day.
Arrive in Montenegro in the evening.
She will never hear her parents' voices again;
She only heard the sound of Tatar horses.
She didn't go far to Wan Li to fight,
Take crops through hills and valleys.
The north wind echoed the hail of the watchman;
The cold moon shone on their armor.
Countless people died on the battlefield.
When the others came back with swords and shields.
See you later, the son of heaven is sitting in the hall.
Policy 12 turn, before reward 100.
Khan asked him what he wanted, "Mulan doesn't need Shang Shulang,
I want to borrow a camel from the Ming Dynasty to send my son back to his hometown. "
When parents heard that their daughter was coming, they went out to help Guo.
Sister-in-law heard that her sister-in-law was coming to take care of her red makeup.
When I heard my sister coming, I sharpened my knife at pigs and sheep.
Mulan received Khan,
Give the brave man a lot of money.
Mulan was praised and awarded the highest position.
Give her piles of wealth so that she can boast.
When asked what she wanted to do, she said,
"I don't pursue high positions in the court.
All I want is a camel and its members.
Send me home and start a new life. "
It is said that Mulan will go home soon.
Her parents left the yard arm in arm.
It is said that Mulan will go home soon.
Her sister wears makeup to enhance her charm.
It is said that Mulan will go home soon.
Her brother raises pigs on the farm.
Open my East Pavilion door and sit on my West Pavilion bed.
Take off my wartime robe and put on my old clothes.
When the window is decorated with clouds and temples, the mirror is painted yellow.
When you go out to see a fire companion, the fire companion is dismayed.
After traveling together for twelve years, I didn't know Mulan was a girl.
"The male rabbit's feet are confused, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred;
When two rabbits walk together, Ann can tell whether I am a male or a female! "
She opened the doors of two rooms.
Sit on her bed and rest.
She first took off her warrior's armor.
Then put on her feminine dress and veil.
She stood by the window sorting out her long hair.
The mirror reflected her beautiful eyebrows.
When she met her companion in the women's queue,
They stared at her in great surprise and said,
"We fought in the same brigade 12 years,
But I never knew Mulan was a maid! "
"The male rabbit is jumping on the ground;
The mother rabbit blinked and blinked.
When two rabbits run back and forth,
Who knows which is the stag and which is the female? "

Song of Mulan
Translation: Xu Yuanchong
Chatting, Mulan is knitting at home.
I don't smell the loom, only the woman's sigh.
What is this woman thinking? Ask the woman what she remembers.
Women have nothing to think about, and women have nothing to remember.

Grandpa has no eldest son, Mulan has no eldest brother,
I am willing to be a pommel horse in the city and sign for you from now on.
Alas, alas! Alas, alas!
She knitted and watched the shuttle fly by.
You can't hear the shuttle. Why?
Its whirring was drowned in her deep sigh.
"Oh, what are you thinking?
Will you tell us? Will you say it? "
"I'm not worried at all,
I don't have any sadness.
I saw the battle list last night.
Khan ordered people to fight.
This volume is written in twelve books;
My father's name is at twelve.
My father has no adult son,
For my brother, I don't.
I will get a strong horse.
Working for my father. "
Buy horses in the east market and saddles in the west market.
Buy halters in the south and whips in the north.
Go to say goodbye to your parents and stay by the Yellow River at dusk.
I didn't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I heard the Yellow River splashing.
Say goodbye to the Yellow River and go to Montenegro at dusk.
I can't hear my parents calling for a female voice, but I hear the chirping of Yanshan Huqi.
Wan Li to Rongji, the mountain is flying.
The breath of the new moon is golden, and the cold light is iron.
The general died in battle, and the strong man returned in ten years.
She bought a horse at the eastern market,
There are whips and saddles everywhere.
She bought a Mahler in the south.
And the metal drill of the horse's mouth.
At dawn, she left her parents by the wall;
At dusk, she reached the bank of the Yellow River.
She listened to the old man's familiar call all night,
But I only heard the roar of the Yellow River.
At dawn, she left the bank of the Yellow River;
She walked towards the black mountains.
At night, she could no longer hear the old man's familiar voice.
But only in the northern mountains do Tatar horses neigh.
The army marched mile after mile.
Crossing mountain obstacles like flying.
The north wind cooled the gong of the night watchman,
Their armor sparkled in the winter sun.
In the past ten years, they have lost many strong captains.
But the battle-hardened soldiers are happy to come back.
See you later, the son of heaven is sitting in the hall.
Policy 12 turn, before reward 100.
Khan asked him what he wanted, "Mulan doesn't need Shang Shulang,
I want to borrow a camel from the Ming Dynasty to send my son back to his hometown. "
When parents heard that their daughter was coming, they went out to help Guo.
Sister-in-law heard that her sister-in-law was coming to take care of her red makeup.
When I heard my sister coming, I sharpened my knife at pigs and sheep.
They met Khan in the hall,
Honours and gifts were generously given to the soldiers.
Khan asked her what she wanted as grace.
"A camel team took me back to my hometown."
I heard she was coming,
Her parents hurried to meet her at the city gate.
Her sister wears makeup at home,
Her brother killed pigs and sheep to celebrate.
Open my East Pavilion door and sit on my West Pavilion bed.
Take off my wartime robe and put on my old clothes.
When the window is decorated with clouds and temples, the mirror is painted yellow.
When you go out to see a fire companion, the fire companion is dismayed.
After traveling together for twelve years, I didn't know Mulan was a girl.
"The male rabbit's feet are confused, and the female rabbit's eyes are blurred;
When two rabbits walk together, Ann can tell whether I am a male or a female! "
She opened the east and west doors.
Sit on her bed and rest.
She took off her clothes under fire.
Put on women's clothes again.
She arranged her hair at the window.
See her beautiful image in the mirror.
Then she came out to meet her ex-spouse,
Who stared at her in amazement:
"We have been together for 12 years.
We didn't know there was a girl among our competitors! "
"Both the stag and the doe have a brisk gait.
Their eyelids are beating.
When two rabbits walk side by side,
Who can tell a stag from a female deer? "
