This is my series called "邓丽君 vs 卓依婷: 怀念老歌" (Teresa Teng versus Timi Zhuo: Remembering the old songs), starring my two all-time idols. The purpose of this series is NOT to compare the two singers. I am not asking for you to vote on who you think sings better or who you like better. This is merely a series to appreciate both of the singers for who they are! Any criticisms in the comment box will be deleted.
*Timi was 9 in this song from the 1989 album 黄金九岁新年歌 来拜年. Her version was renamed to 迎接财神吉星照.
This song is used as a Chinese New Year song but was originally a Folk Song of the Anhui 安徽 Province.

Many thanks to helenchhor, too, for giving me Timi's version of this song in mp3.
Thanks to Hkship for contributing the lyric translations.
Lyrics:
左手锣,右手鼓,
Left hand with gong, right hand with drum,
手拿着锣鼓来唱歌.
Holding the gong and the drum to sing this song.
别的歌儿我也不会唱,
Do not know how to sing other songs,
单会唱个鳳陽歌;
And can only sing a song of Fengyang.
鳳鳳陽鼓啊,咿呀哎呦,
Feng Feng Yang drum, ye-ah-ai-ya,
得儿铛铛飘一飘,得儿铛铛飘一飘;
Have a round of cymbal, have a round of cymbal,
得儿飘,得儿飘,得飘,得飘,
A round, a round, another round, another round,
飘飘一得儿飘飘,飘一飘
Round and round, another round.
我命薄,真命薄,
My life is hard, so very hard.
一生一世讨不到好老婆.
I can never find a good wife.
人家的老婆如花又如玉,
Other people's wives are as beautiful as flowers and jade.
我家的老婆一双大花脚;
Mine has a pair of big feet
量量一尺多,咿呀哎呦,
With a size 12 measurement, ye-ah-ai-ya.
得儿铛铛飘一飘,得儿铛铛飘一飘;
Have a round of cymbal, have a round of cymbal,
得儿飘,得儿飘,得飘,得飘,
A round, a round, another round, another round,
飘飘一得儿飘飘,飘一飘
Round and round, another round.
我命苦,真命苦,
My life is bitter, so very bitter.
一生一世嫁不到好丈夫.
I can never marry a good husband.
人家的丈夫做官又做府,
Other people's husbands are government officials and are loaded.
我家的丈夫单会打花鼓,
Mine can only play with the flower drum.
打打花鼓啊,咿呀哎呦,
Play with the flower drum, ye-ah-ai-ya.
得儿铛铛飘一飘,得儿铛铛飘一飘;
Have a round of cymbal, have a round of cymbal,
得儿飘,得儿飘,得飘,得飘,
A round, a round, another round, another round,
飘飘一得儿飘飘,飘一飘
Round and round, another round.

Oh, yes, thanks a lot for reminding me. I forgot to thank you in the video info area. I am getting really forgetful, these days. Sorry about that.
