Long, long time ago,
很久很久以前,
Our ancestors moved down from the mountains.
我们的祖先从山上搬下来。
Yet ninety boys and seventy girls still stayed there,
90个男生和70个女生他们仍然住在那里,
For living together without the control by their parents.
为了能生活在一起不被父母管束。
Many messages were sent from home to ask the kids move down to the village.
许多讯息从家乡传来,要求他们搬下到新村子里,
Although someone did so,
虽然有些人死了,
Others were still there.
但是其他的人还是活了下来
So, ninety boys
最后,90个男生
and seventy girls
和70个女生
live in the mountains.
他们生活在了大山里。
Ninety boys and seventy girls live in the mountains.
90个男生和70个女生他们生活在大山里。
(Traditional Naxi Song)
