Yue Opera Xianglin’s Wife Lao Liu’s Dying Lyrics

Amao Niang, Amao Niang!

You have been in my house for five years.

Five years have been a dream.

I pity you for working hard from three springs to the cold winter,

from morning to midnight.

When I am sick, your shoulders become heavy.

You never tell others about your sorrows.

We really hope that a poor and humble couple will grow old together,

Who would have thought that they would leave you aside halfway!

Amao Niang,

Now that I am leaving you and returning to the west,

How will your mother and son spend their time?

I leave you with two broken houses and a debt,

Amao wants you to support him well.
