The ancient Chinese pentatonic tune, here beautifully arranged with piano and cello accompaniment, will add a special charm to a concert. It is to be sung in Chinese, a language truly beautiful to sing. To assist in learning there is in-score pronunciation help. The extended instrumental introduction invites the addition of a Chinese dancer.

The green mountains and gleaming water are restfully still;
A gust of wind blows on the surface of the lake.
Row, oh row, forward, oh forward.

At dusk, there are few people out;
The reflection of the moon on the surface of the water undulates.
Row, oh row, forward, oh forward.

Water plants abound on the bank of Tai Lake;
Breezes waft the fragrance of reeds and flowers.
Row, oh row, forward, oh forward.
The setting sun is reflected in the water’s image and the mountains’ glow.
The surface of the lake slightly shows the sail’s reflection.
Row, oh row, forward, oh forward.
