说唱脸谱
Rapping about Painted Faces
作词：阎肃
英译：译海轻舟
外国人把那京戏
Foreigners call our Jingxi
叫做Beijing Opera
As the Beijing Opera
没见过那五色的油彩楞往脸上画
Never have they seen the five-kind
greasepaint daubbed on the face
四击头一亮相
Strike a pose on the gongs
美极了 妙极了
Beautiful, wonderful
简直OK 顶呱呱
Simply OK, so tiptop
蓝脸的窦尔敦 盗御马
The blue-faced Dou Erdun
steals a horse royal
红脸的关公 战长沙
The red-faced Guan Gong
fights in Changsha
黄脸的典韦 白脸的曹操
The yellow Dian Wei,
the white-faced Cao Cao
黑脸的张飞 叫喳喳
The black-faced Zhang Fei cries out
loud
紫色的天王托宝塔
The purple heavenly king
holds a pagoda
绿色的魔鬼斗夜叉
The green demons fight the yakshas
金色的猴王 银色的妖怪
The golden monkey king, the silver
genies
灰色的精灵 笑哈哈
The spirits grey-faced laugh out loud
一对对鲜明的鸳鸯瓦
The striking two-paint facial designs
一群群生动的活菩萨
And groups of vivid bodhisuttvas
一滴滴勾描 一点点夸大
Drop by drop make up, bit by bit
exaggerate
一幅幅脸谱 美佳佳
Many a painted face, so stunning
