The Ballad of Mulan: The Origin Poem The Ballad of Mulan
Tsiek Tiek again tsiek tsiek,
Mu - lan weaves, facing the Door.
You don't hear the shuttle's sound,
You only hear Daughter's signs.
They ask Daughter who's in her heart,
They ask Daughter who's on her mind
"No one is on Daughter's Heart,
No one is on Daughter's Mind.
Last night I saw the Draft posters,
The Khan is calling many troops,
The army list is in Twelve Scrolls,
On every Scroll there's Father's name.
Father has no Grown - up Son,
Mu - lan has no Elder Brother.
I want to buy a Saddle and Horse,
And serve in the army in Father's Place."
In the East Market she buy a Spirited Horse,
In the Wast Market she buys a Saddle,
In the South Market she buys a Bridle,
In the North Market she buys a Long Whip.
At dawn she talks leave of Father and Mother,
In the evening camps on the Yellow River Bank.
She doesn't hear the sounds of Father and Mother calling,
She only hears the Yellow River's Flowing Water Crying tsien tsien.
At dawn she takes leave of the Yellow River,
In the evening she arrives at Black Mountain.
She doesn't hear the sound of Father and Mother calling,
She only hears Mount Yen's Namad Horses Cry tsiu tsiu.
She goes Ten Thousand Miles on the Business of War,
She crosses passes and Mountains like flying.
Northern gusts carry the rattle of army pots,
Chilly Lights Shines on Iron Armor.
Generals die in a Hundred Battles,
Stout Soldiers return after Ten Years.
On her return she sees the Son of Heaven,
The Son of Heaven Sits in the Splendid Hall.
