Peking Opera "Husband and Wife Return Home" Lyrics

The birds on the trees are in pairs

The green water and the green mountains are smiling

Never again will we suffer from slavery

Husband and wife return home

You plough the fields and I weave the cloth

I carry the water and you water the garden

The kiln may be broken, but it can withstand the wind and the rain

Husband and wife love each other, even if it is hard

You and I are like the birds of the mandarin ducks

.

The birds on the trees are in pairs

The green water and the green mountains are smiling

Never again will we suffer from slavery

Husband and wife will return home

You plough the fields, I weave the cloth

I carry the water, you water the garden

The kiln, though broken, is able to stand up to the wind and rain

Husband and wife love each other, and it is sweet.

You and I are like lovebirds

Wing by wing on earth

.
