Chinese Children’s Song: “捕鱼歌”“Buyu Ge” (The Fisherman’s Song)
By Ling-Ling Lisa Shih
From Ling-LingChinese.com
“捕鱼歌”“Bu Yu Ge” (Fishing Song) is a popular classical aboriginal Taiwanese song. This song is often played while people do the Zhugan Dance “竹竿舞” (Chinese bamboo Dance). We will try to perform the dance in the second video because it’s easier and we can also involve the audience to join the dance. We can learn the song and dance easily.

The Fisherman’s Song
White waves are crashing, but I am not afraid,
Holding the rudder steadily, I row straight ahead
Cast the net into the water to the fishes’ lair
(I) Caught a big fish, ha ha ha! Hai Yo Yi Yo Yi Yo En Hai Yo! (x4)
