牡丹亭·游园·好姐姐 （live）

Haojiejie, selected from “A Garden Stroll” from The Peony Pavilion

（唱）遍青山，啼红了杜鹃，

那荼蘼外烟丝醉软。

那牡丹虽好，他春归怎占的先。

闲凝眄，（呃）生生燕语明如翦，

听呖呖莺声溜的圆。

(Sing) On Verdant Hill, the azaleas bloom blood-red,

and beyond the reeds, misty tendrils softly curl.

Though the peony is lovely, when spring passes, why must she wither first?

I gaze far away, listening to the swallows’ cries, crisp and clear,

and the warbler’s song, its round, lingering tone.
