一、

唉 庄户人面相老

Ah,village people got old fast!

二、

一出活四个人去 那叫四台

For a four-piece performance,they go out together.

要是再加上吹笙的 吹笛子的 敲鼓的

For an eight-piece performance we add a reed pipe,

还有拉胡胡的 叫八台

a bamboo flute,a drum and strings.

八台

Eight instruments?

八台那场面可大 气势也高

For a really big occasion,important,high energy.

一般人家过事 就吹个四台

Most people would just go for the four-piece performance.

八台一是难吹 二是价钱也高

The eigh-piece one is a lot harder to put on,

一般人家请不起

and expensive;most families can't afford it.

哦 那有比八台更厉害的吗

Is there anything more impressive than that?

有啊 

Sure.

啥呀？

What is it?

百鸟朝凤

“Song of the Phoenix”.

三、

百鸟朝凤 只在白事上用

"Song of the Phoenix"is a song saved for grave matters,

受用的人要口碑极好才行

played only when very great people have passed away,

一般人是不配享用的

not just for anyone.

四、

记着 唢呐离口

Remember, it can leave your lips

不离手

but not your hand.

你要好生护着

Hold onto it tightly.

五、

唢呐就是这样

That's how the suona is made.

调儿越高 个儿头就越小

The samller it is, the higher the pitch.

六、

唢呐一响 百鸟为王

With one breath on the suona, one hundred birds appear for the king.

七、

咱们吹唢呐的 好歹也是一门匠活

Suona players like us,we are true craftsmen.

既然是匠活 就得有人担起责任 

Since we are so dedicated,we have a responsibility

把这活传承下去

to keep up the old traditions and to pass them on.

所以 今天我选的这个人

And so today I'm selecting my successor

不单是看他唢呐吹得多好

not just because he plays well.

更要紧的 是看他能不能把唢呐吹到骨头缝里

Most importantly,because he can move people with his music.

只有把唢呐吹到骨头缝的人

Only someone who can play with all his heart, and who moves all who hear him,

他才能拼着命把这活保住传下去

can truly carry our craft on through the generations.

八、

唢呐不是吹给别人听的 

You don't play the suona for other people.

是吹给自己听的

You play it for yourself.
