A traditional song reinterpreted by the Chinese/Mongolian band Hanggai, which is one of the leaders of the “Chinagrass” scene. Hanggai is a band with Mongolian members that sings most of its songs in Mongolian.

Original lyrics:
Flowers blossoming on the cliff
Are the earliest to fade;
The girl married in a far-off place
Languishes in her lover’s arms.

Flowers blossoming in the desert
Are the earliest to fade;
The girl is married now
And by her promise will abide.

Once there were oaths to love,
Once there were sweet dates,
Once there was a warm embrace,
But now you are married in a far-off place.
