Ethnic love song - Embroidered Shoes Mocha Town

Man: Cool breeze swirling, nice embroidered shoes,

Unfortunately, I didn't bring the shoe pattern.

Placing my feet in sister's embrace,

Cut according to my footprint.

Woman: Going up the mountain to cut firewood, there are many thorns,

I advise you not to go barefoot.

If brother wants shoes, tell your sister,

I'll make a new pair and give it to my beloved.

Man: Embroidered shoe surface with flowers,

Upper part embroidered with mandarin ducks, lower part embroidered with rivers.

The mandarin ducks play well in the water,

The mandarin ducks playing in the water are so happy.

Woman: Seeing the sun set over the hill,

Making a pair of embroidered shoes for my beloved.

My beloved, don't think the embroidered shoes are ugly,

We secretly touch each other without our parents knowing.

Man: The embroidered handkerchief has four corners,

Four corners embroidered with geese.

When the embroidered shoes are worn out, the geese are still there,

It's because my dear sister has such good hands.

Woman: Calling my beloved my lover,

The embroidered shoes haven't been stitched yet.

If you have the heart, stay at my house for the night,

With the bright lamp lit, we will be together.

Man: The embroidered shoes fit the curve of the foot,

Made with blue cloth round mouth edges.

White cloth lining and embroidered flower face,

Very decent to wear in front of everyone.

Woman: This pair of shoes isn't well-behaved,

My beloved, please don't blame me.

Stitched a few needles before dawn,

Touched and stitched in the dark.

Man: My dear sister made me a pair of shoes,

The sides are embroidered like vegetable flower platforms.

The soles are embroidered like sesame seeds,

Waiting for my beloved to come after the shoes are done.

Woman: My beloved goes traveling,

Sister gives him a pair of shoes.

Both sides are embroidered like full pools of water,

In the middle, a pair of mandarin ducks.
