Manchu Music---The Song of Archery---满族音乐---射箭之歌

saisa gabtara ucun

Lyrics in Manchu:
manju i mafari i adali
muse sasa gabtambi
oilohon dabduri jalan de
sini (mini)buya beye bi
sini beri de uli be tebuheo
simhun de fergetun be etuheo？
sini sirdan be gabtahao
hoihan yabade (ubade) bini
mini beri de uli be tebuhebi
simhun de fergetun be etuhebi
mini sirdan be gabtahabi
hoihan yabade ( tubade )bini
muse sasa gabtacina gabtacina
muse sasa gabtacina gabtacina

Translation of lyrics in English:
Like our Manchu ancestors
Let us go shooting arrows
In this fickle world
There are our minute shadows
Is the arrow on your bow yet?
Is the thumb ring on your thumb yet?
Is the arrow released yet?
Where is my hunting field?
My arrow is now on my bow
My thumb ring is now on my thumb
My arrow is flying to the target
Where is my hunting field?
Let`s go shooting arrows
