Derling dang piao yi piao derling dang piao yi piao der piao, der piao der piao, der piao piao yi piao der piao piao yi piao Thanks very much Quote
confucius Posted January 29, 2004 at 07:55 PM Report Posted January 29, 2004 at 07:55 PM Yes! I hear that song sung quite often on the public bus in China. Here is the translation: Who hasn't bought a ticket? Who hasn't bought a ticket? Purchase ticket, purchase ticket! Purchase ticket, purchase ticket! One ticket or two? Purchase ticket, one ticket! You're welcome! Quote

skylee Posted January 30, 2004 at 02:02 PM Report Posted January 30, 2004 at 02:02 PM I suppose it is from 鳳陽花鼓 (Fengyang Huagu). In Chinese it is something like this - 得兒啷噹飄一飄 得兒啷噹飄一飄得兒飄 得兒飄 得兒飄得兒 飄飄一得兒 飄飄飄一飄 Here is the English translation, and you can see that there is no translation for that part. And you can find the Chinese lyric here (see item 9). Quote
trooper Posted February 2, 2004 at 04:15 PM Report Posted February 2, 2004 at 04:15 PM Since no translation is give, that means the passage is just a representation of the sound of the drums and gong. Quote
