歌曲“小河趟水” 和“瑪依拉”的翻譯

夏威夷鄧韻婭老師要我作“小河趟水” 和“瑪依拉” 歌曲的英語介紹，下麵是不成文的翻譯，供鄧老師參考：

“小河淌水” 是中國雲南省膾炙人口的著名民歌之一。其詩一般的歌詞質樸自然，富於想象。以從容舒展、比較自由的節奏、清新優美且具雲南地方風格的旋律，描繪了一個充滿詩情畫意的深遠意境；銀色的月光下，周圍一片寧靜，隻有山下的小河不時發出潺潺的流水聲。美麗聰慧的阿妹，見景生情，望月抒懷，把對阿哥的一片深情，化作動人的歌聲。深厚的情意隨著小河的流水，飄向阿哥居住的村莊。

“瑪依拉” 是中國西北新疆地區一首著名的哈薩克民歌。多年來屢唱不衰。歌曲描寫了哈薩克女歌手瑪依拉傲人的表白: 人們都叫我瑪依拉，詩人瑪依拉，歌手瑪依拉。誰能來唱上一首歌比比瑪依拉。來往人們擠在我的屋簷底下，青年哈薩克人人羨慕我，知道我，從那遠山跑到了我的家。瑪依拉，瑪依拉。
