Walking down a trail along a river
With my dear daughter
When we started to talk about her papa
She asked how we fell in love
"Any romanitic stories?"
My face blushed with a shy smile up
"oh dear, that was long time ago when we were in college"
We first met on a train ride going home from school for summer break
I sat together my friend on a two-person’s couch
Your daddy sat with his friend on the other seat across the folding table between us
We knew we were from same college but in different program after a few chats.
Four of us played poker and I was teamed with your papa
The other boy brought a watermelon and shared all of us kindly
The time was flying and the train arrived at the station before we realized.
We said good bye without even knowing each other's name
We met the second time on a road lined up with big WuTong trees on a spring day of March
I was walking alone after classes to a Cafeteria for Lunch
"Hey, LaoXiang" a voice came behind me suddenly
I turned back with a puzzled face, wondering: "Who are this guy? Is he calling me?”
"Don't you remember me? We met on the train, playing poke" he explained eagerly
I looked at him and recollected his small but smiling eyes
Later, we met again and again in cafeteria-changed ballroom in the nights of weekends
Social dance was quite popular at that time in campus
I sucked at dancing, but your daddy was good at dance
When we danced together, the melody flew into my heart
My heart beat like a drum, like a drum
When your daddy danced, he looked so charming and so cool
And he didn't mind I kept on stepping on his foot, on his foot
“Daughter, Do you know why your daddy wanted a girl like you?”
“He dreamed to dance with her daughter and hopping no stepping on this foot”

陶陶三's Country Road:
Walking down a country road
With my dear Mama
When we started to talk about
My Papa
I asked how they fall in love
"Any romantic part?"
Mama's face flushed
With a shy smile up
She said Papa loved playing the flute
And "so far so good."
Often sitting in the attic with dove
Flew the melody into her heart
