 LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG
 It is a pity that I deleted my writing of the introduction of this song that I had done days ago when I was working on the web site last weekend. It is also not a pity that made me have a reason to re-learn it and to re-record it in my vocal music lesson Saturday night this weekend. :-)
Maybe for I had worked on the wide Sanjiang Plain on the frontier between China and Russia when I just started my life at 14 or 15 years old as a "corps soldier". I especially enjoy singing the songs that relates the grassland of Inner Mongolia or Xinjiang... :-)
Or maybe for their songs like to use the long long breath, and make me feel very comfortable to enjoy a relaxed and easy time in the weekend after a long long working time... :-)
My teacher thought this is a "big" song, we have to learn it some day when we have time...I just hope that my singing will a little bit help to you to know Chinese culture and improve your ears' responding to Chinese language...
MAIN MEANING OF THIS LULLABY LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG
Beautiful grassland is my home,
wind is blowing the green grass
and there are flowers everywhere；
Colored butterflies are flying
and hundred birds are singing，
Sunset glow is reflected in the blue water ；
coursers are just like the beautiful clouds ，
flocks and herds are just like the pearls on the grassland.
Ah ... ah ... he...
shepherd girls are singing loudly ，
delight songs are full of the skyline.
Beautiful grassland is my home,
I love it its water is clear and its grass is beautiful.
Grassland is just like the green sea,
yurts are just like white lotus flowers.
 herdsmen are making it as a happy landscape,
the beautiful spring scenery is just like a picture
that is far away ten miles...
Ah ... ah ... he...
shepherd girls are singing loudly ，
delight songs are full of the skyline.
