Conducted by: Mr Nelson Kwei 小黃鹂⻦ (English: Little Oriole) is a popular folk song from Inner Mongolia. The song depicts a wandering traveller comparing himself to a lonely oriole, expressing sorrow and grief as he misses his home. Coupled with the lyrics, the lyrical melody evokes a sense of beauty, yet with a small shade of sadness. 小黄鹂⻦儿呀 你可曾知道吗 马靴上绣着 龙头凤尾花 两朵儿花呀 绣一只靴呀 只有四朵花 我和你 两个四朵 凑成八朵啦 O Little oriole, did you ever know? The riding boots are embroidered with the dragonhead phoenix tail With two flowers unto each shoe, there are only four flowers. You and I, with two sets of four, make up eight flowers.
