Yellow Poplar Shoulder Pole

The yellow poplar shoulder pole bounces to the beat of my step,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
Carrying white rice down to Guangzhou,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
Jie-ya jie-ya, down to Guangzhou, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.
Jie-ya jie-ya, down to Guangzhou, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.

People say the girls in Guangzhou are beautiful,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
Guangzhou girls are good at combing their hair,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
Jie-ya jie-ya, good at combing their hair, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.
Jie-ya jie-ya, good at combing their hair, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.

The elder sister styles her hair into a winded-dragon topknot,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
The second sister styles her hair into a camellia coil,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
Jie-ya jie-ya, a camellia coil, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.
Jie-ya jie-ya, a camellia coil, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.

Only the third sister can skillfully comb her hair,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
She styles her hair into a chignon shaped like a lion playing with a ball,
Jie-ge-ya-ha-li-ya!
Jie-ya jie-ya, playing with a ball, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.
Jie-ya jie-ya, playing with a ball, lai-me-ge-ya-ha-li-ya.

黄杨扁担软溜溜那么姐哥呀哈里呀，
挑一挑白米下广州喂，
姐呀姐呀下广州来么哥呀哈里呀，
姐呀姐呀，下广州来么哥呀哈里呀。

人讲广州的姑娘好那么姐哥呀哈里呀，
广州的姑娘会梳头喂，
姐呀姐呀会梳头来么哥呀哈里呀，
姐呀姐呀，会梳头来么哥呀哈里呀。

大姐梳一个盘龙缵那么姐哥呀哈里呀，
二姐梳一个茶花纽喂，
姐呀姐呀茶花纽来么哥呀哈里呀，
姐呀姐呀，茶花纽来么哥呀哈里呀。

只有三姐梳得巧那么姐哥呀哈里呀，
梳一个狮子滚绣球勒，
姐呀姐呀滚绣球来么哥呀哈里呀，
姐呀姐呀，滚绣球来么哥呀哈里呀。
