說唱臉譜
Rapping about Painted Faces
作詞：閻肅
英譯：譯海輕舟
外國人把那京戲
Foreigners call our Jingxi
叫做Beijing Opera
As the Beijing Opera
沒見過那五色的油彩楞往臉上畫
Never have they seen the five-kind
greasepaint daubbed on the face
四擊頭一亮相
Strike a pose on the gongs
美極了 妙極了
Beautiful, wonderful
簡直OK 頂呱呱
Simply OK, so tiptop
藍臉的竇爾敦 盜禦馬
The blue-faced Dou Erdun
steals a horse royal
紅臉的關公 戰長沙
The red-faced Guan Gong
fights in Changsha
黃臉的典韋 白臉的曹操
The yellow Dian Wei,
the white-faced Cao Cao
黑臉的張飛 叫喳喳
The black-faced Zhang Fei cries out
loud
紫色的天王托寶塔
The purple heavenly king
holds a pagoda
綠色的魔鬼鬥夜叉
The green demons fight the yakshas
金色的猴王 銀色的妖怪
The golden monkey king, the silver
genies
灰色的精靈 笑哈哈
The spirits grey-faced laugh out loud
一對對鮮明的鴛鴦瓦
The striking two-paint facial designs
一群群生動的活菩薩
And groups of vivid bodhisuttvas
一滴滴勾描 一點點誇大
Drop by drop make up, bit by bit
exaggerate
一幅幅臉譜 美佳佳
Many a painted face, so stunning
