lyrics
The pond was full and the rain stopped.
The mud beside the field is full of loaches. I'm waiting for you every day, until you catch the loach.
Brother, all right, let's catch loach.
The calf's brother took him to catch loach.
Brother, how are you?
Let's catch loach. The pond is full and the rain has stopped.
In the mud beside the field, loaches are everywhere.
I wait for you every day, waiting for you to catch loach.
Brother, all right, let's catch loach.
The calf's brother took him to catch loach.
Brother, how are you?
Let's catch loach, big brother, shall we?
Let's catch loach, big brother, shall we?
Let's catch loach, big brother, shall we?
Let's catch loach, big brother, shall we?
Let's catch loach, big brother, shall we?
Let's catch loach.

Song background
This song is the first song written by Bao Meisheng's village friend Hou Dejian (although he went to the same kindergarten as a child, he didn't know him). Hou Dejian didn't receive any orthodox music education, so it was effortless to write this song.
The first version of Brother of the Mavericks was Brother of the Kitten, but the Taiwan authorities failed to pass it, so they changed it to Brother of the Mavericks casually and passed it in a muddle. This song is full of childlike interest, and it is one of the few works with local folk songs in Hou Dejian.
At a concert, Hou Dejian and Bao Meisheng sang this song "Catch Misgurnus" one after another. It tastes very different. One is really like a big brother, and the other is a little sister who begged his big brother to catch loach. Later, the singer record company planned to release the first solo album "Song of Bao Meisheng" for Bao Meisheng who was about 20 years old at that time. Bao Meisheng couldn't help crying when recording "Catch Misgurnus".
It's not because she was moved by this song, but because it's so like a nursery rhyme that she felt embarrassed. Under the producer's carrot and stick, she became the first singer of this song, which was unexpectedly popular. With the help of folk songs, Bao Meisheng and Hou Dejian in the same village also became friends.
The children's song "Catch Misgurnus anguillicaudatus" was very popular in Taiwan Province that year. It crossed the shallow strait and became the childhood memory of many people in Chinese mainland. Adults and children can hum a few words. Later, the cover of Timi Zhuo and other singers promoted the spread of this ballad and extended the life of this nursery rhyme.
