What day is it today? Zhou Zhongliu
What day is it today? Must be in the same boat as the prince.
It is good to be ashamed, but don't be ashamed.
My heart was restless, and I learned that the prince
Mountains have trees, and trees have branches.
My heart lives for yours.
Vernacular translation
What kind of night is it tonight? Wandering in this river.
What day is it today? Together with the prince.
I am deeply loved by the prince. I don't dislike or scold me, because I am a boatman.
I can get to know the prince after all my moods are upset.
There are trees on the mountain. Trees have branches.
I like you in my heart, but you don't know it.
The story background of Yue People's Song: It is said that Xiang of Chu stood by the river in gorgeous clothes on the day when he was knighted. Doctor Zhuang Xin of Chu passed by, and when he saw his joy, he came forward to salute and shake hands with him. Item was disgusted with the more polite behavior and ignored it. So Zhuang Xin washed his hands and told Xiang the story of the king of Chu and the king of Hubei:
Xi, the son of the E army, is the younger brother of the King of Chu. He travels by boat and loves his Vietnamese boatman singing to him with paddles. This song is melodious and moving, euphemistic and pleasing to the ear, which touched the Hubei army and immediately made people translate it into Chu language, thus producing the word "Yue Yue Ge". After you understood the meaning of the song, instead of being angry, you went over and hugged the boatman, covered him with an embroidered quilt, and wanted to have sex with him as much as possible.
Zhuang Xin then asked Xiang: the Hubei army is a nobleman and can still have sex with Vietnamese boatmen. Why can't I shake your hand? Item really agreed to his request and handed him his hand.
