Kuala Lumpur visitors, Yunnan calls on you to come

Highlighting a many-splendored provincial life, the Yunnan Cultural and Tourism Promotion is taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on May 12, and YICC specially rolls out a music video for this occasion. The following is transcript of the lyrics.

Kuala Lumpur visitors, Yunnan calls on you to come

Verse 1

White clouds on Mt. Cangshan weave curtains;
Erhai Lake shatters moonlight into silver coins.
Snow water from Mt. Jade Dragon brews the Pu'er tea;
Terraced fields pluck strings of mountain wind in glee.

Brothers, cobblestone roads await your monsoon rain;
Silver bells of Water Festival ring spring's sweet refrain.

Hey Kuala Lumpur visitors, Yunnan calls on you to come!
Will you take Twin Towers' night view to our snowy peaks?
Tea-Horse Road's camel bell and Maritime Silk Road's thread
remind us of a nostalgia in Yunnan, where rosy clouds spread.

Verse 2

Petaling Street lights swirl into rice noodle bowls;
Nyonya skirts dye crimson Dongba painting scrolls.
Bak Kut Teh aroma meets mushroom's earthy tune;
Torch Festival crowds dance in coconut rice monsoon.

Sisters, the Mekong utters Malay proverbs clear;
Bronze relics in ancient Yunnan hold starlit sphere.

Zheng He's sails 500 year ago woke up Malacca's tide;
Today Butterfly Spring in Dali awaits wings open wide.
Songs on Kunming blue sky and Twin Towers harmonize;
Rainforests waltz with snow peaks beneath spinning skies.

The end

Kuala Lumpur friends, Yunnan calls on you to stay;
The Mekong moon carpet was rolled to your doors.
We lend Water Festival's rainbow for your monsoon pour.
Let’s fall in love in tropical woods and dream on glacial soar.

In 30 visa-free days, you can explore Yunnan wonders untold,
tasting crossing-bridge rice noodles and the 3-round tea bold!
Twin Towers' night breeze carries a snow-mountain invite,
which tells the mountain-sea whispers in ever lasting flight.
