Visiting Couples

女：一串铃声飞出村儿，

男：举个小鞭紧催驴儿。

女：人欢驴快不停腿儿，

男：鞭声助兴跑热蹄儿。

女：夫妻备下，

男：四盒礼儿，

合：新正大月去串门儿。

男：双喜我赶着毛驴儿甩开了胳膊腿儿，

女：桂珍我初次骑驴儿不敢太走神儿。

男：手摇响鞭乐的那个嘴儿，两眼不住打量小媳妇儿，

只见她头顶梳个丹凤展翅儿，后脖颈儿搭着两柳双雀登枝儿，

女：镜双双杏眼含波。

男：两汪秋水儿，

女：细溜溜柳叶弯眉。

男：长得黝黑儿，

女：俏生生一点朱唇。

男：好像樱桃粒儿，

女：白净净椭圆脸型。

男：好像鸡蛋刚扒皮儿，

男：双喜我越看越爱看，看完媳妇再看驴儿。

女：咱的驴儿，

男：长得哏儿。

女：白嘴巴儿，

男：白胡须儿。

女：白眼圈儿，

男：白脑门儿。

女：雪里沾，

男：四个白蹄儿，

女：有撮红缨，

男：压顶门儿。

女：小响串儿，

男：黄铜的儿。

女：尾巴底下，

男：驴轴棍儿。

女：毛驴尾巴，

男：更逗人儿，

合：一撒欢甩的甩的直朝两边胯骨轴子儿。

女：到山下还离我家六里多地儿，双喜你进门千万可别慌神儿，

我家的人且多，你别造差辈儿。

The main idea of the lyrics:

Woman: A string of bells jingled out of the village,

Man: I held a whip tightly as I urged the donkey.

Woman: The people cheered as the donkey pranced swiftly without pause,

Man: The whip’s crack added to the excitement as the hooves of the donkey beat fast.

Woman: The couple prepared,

Man: Four boxes of gifts,

Together: New Year’s eve, we visit neighbors under the bright moon.

Man: Shuangxi, I drove the donkey, flinging my arms and legs with excitement,

Woman: Guizhen, I was afraid to look away from the donkey since it’s my first time to ride.

Man: I shook the whip with my eyes continuously looking at my young wife,

Seeing her hair styled into a bun resembling a phoenix with wings spread, and two hairpins signifying sparrows perched on a branch.

Woman: My almond-shaped eyes have rippling waves,

Man: Like two pools of autumn water,

Woman: Slender, curved eyebrows like willow leaves.

Man: Skin is dark.

Woman: Lips are vibrant with a touch of red.

Man: It looks like cherry pits,

Woman: Clean and bright oval face.

Man: It seems like the egg just got peeled.

Man: I find myself increasingly fond of Shuangxi. After admiring my wife, I look at the donkey again.
