Katie Bolding and Vladis Jansons sing Chinese Opera 白毛女 (White Hair Girl)

A young lady waits for her dad to come home on New Year's Eve. Dad brings a red string to put on her hair instead of flower, which he cannot afford.
In later part of the opera, her dad died and she was exiled to the mountain, and her skin and hair turned white, hence the title White Hair Girl

北风那个吹 Northernly wind blows
雪花那个飘飘 Snow flurry fleeting
年来到 It is almost New Year
风卷那个雪花 Wind blowing the flurry
在门那个外 Outside the door

风打着门来门自开 Wind blows open the door
我盼爹爹快回家 I am waiting for my dad
欢欢喜喜过个年 To enjoy a Happy New Year

人家的闺女有花戴， Other girls have flower
我爹钱少不能买 My dad cannot afford it
扯上了二尺红头绳， Taking a red string
我给我喜儿扎起来 Make a braid on my hair
哎~~扎呀嘛扎起来 Braid on my hair
