阿里郎阿里郎阿郎里郎
我的郎君翻山过岭路途遥远
你真无情地把我扔下
出了门不到十里路你会想家
阿里郎阿里郎阿郎里郎
我的郎君翻山过岭路途遥远
春天黑夜里满天星辰
我们的别离情话千遍难尽
阿里郎阿里郎阿郎里郎
我的郎君翻山过岭路途遥远




今宵离别后何日能回来
请你留下你的诺言我好等待

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "ALI" by Ya's depict a woman's longing for her lover who has gone off to explore the mountains and valleys. The chorus "阿里郎阿里郎阿郎里郎" reflects the traditional Chinese folk song "A Li Lang" that symbolizes a sense of nostalgia and homesickness. The woman is feeling abandoned by her lover who has callously left her behind, not even waiting until the first ten miles before feeling homesick. The singer is trying to cope with the separation, remembering their romantic moments together, and how they whispered sweet nothings to each other under the starry skies of spring.


The woman tries to hold onto a hope that they will be reunited someday, although she is unsure when that would be. The last line of the song "请你留下你的诺言我好等待" translates to "Please leave me with your promise, so that I can wait for you." The lyrics evoke a sense of longing and heartache, and the pain of separation that is persistent even in the singer's thoughts. The song is an ode to the love that is both passionate and subtle, and to the hope that it will endure.
