Song Lyrics:

"A bright moon hangs high, shining in the sky
Where are the white storks flying?

Grandmother, does Uncle Cuoi remember his home?
It seems like I see him coming down to Earth

It's been a thousand years, by the banyan tree
Cuoi, is the moon young or old?

It's been a thousand years, by the banyan tree
Cuoi, is the moon young or old?

A small flock of birds plays under the moon
When will Cuoi come down to join them?

Grandmother, does Uncle Cuoi remember his home?
It seems like I see him coming down to Earth

It's been a thousand years, by the banyan tree
Cuoi, is the moon young or old?

It's been a thousand years, by the banyan tree
Cuoi, is the moon young or old?"

"The Happy Fairy" is another delightful song perfect for Mid-Autumn dance performances. With its lively melody and playful lyrics, this song is sure to surprise and energize the crowd, making the festival atmosphere even more festive and joyful!

Song Lyrics:

"The happy fairy has a long beard
He lies quietly on top of the clouds at night
The happy fairy often tells lies
In the heavenly realm, there is no passing of time
The happy fairy has a little house
By the hill, he often visits
When I came up, he suddenly disappeared
Leaving me sad, wondering where he went
The happy fairy loves to joke
I asked for a gift, he promised to buy it for me
The happy fairy often gives me cakes
Delicious cakes made of morning dew and flowers."

The song "The Old Banyan Tree at the Alley" evokes familiar images from the rural villages of the Red River Delta, such as the banyan tree at the village entrance, the alley shop, betel leaves, the koel bird, and young girls with rosy cheeks. The lyrics reflect the traditional lifestyle of the people, with a rhythmic flow that stirs emotions and brings back memories of peaceful countryside life. It would be incomplete to list the best Mid-Autumn dances without mentioning this song, which is a favorite choice for many preschool teachers for their class performances.

Song Lyrics:

"Together we climb the alley shop, searching for the banyan tree...

Resting, chewing on three betel leaves, hands clasped to watch the stars in the sky

Whose house has the koel bird, calling and chirping to the sounds of the bird's call

There are three girls with red cheeks and rosy lips, with sweet smiles and dimples

Ask the banyan tree why there is no wind each time the night falls, the sound of the bell chimes

The banyan tree leans, casting its shadow by the village, connecting threads of fate for those waiting

Whoever passes by the alley shop, remember to turn back and offer betel nuts

The banyan tree casts its shadow every day, waiting for someone, waiting for someone...

The banyan tree waits, your eyes full of longing, the sound of the bell chimes

The banyan tree is sad, your eyes are waiting, the sound of the bell chimes..."

Song Lyrics:

"Mid-Autumn Festival, carrying lanterns, going to play
I carry my lantern through the streets
Feeling joyful with a lantern in hand
I dance and sing under the full moon

The star lantern and the carp lantern
The swan lantern and the butterfly lantern
I carry my lantern to the moon palace
The light green lantern and the purple lantern
The blue lantern and the white lantern
In the radiant light of the many-colored lanterns

High above, the moon shines brightly
Softly casting its gentle light
On the fifteenth night of the eighth month, the bright moon illuminates the sky
I dance and sing to welcome the Moon Goddess

Tùng dinh dinh cắc tùng dinh dinh
Tùng dinh dinh cắc tùng dinh dinh
I carry my lantern to the moon palace
Tùng dinh dinh cắc tùng dinh dinh
Tùng dinh dinh cắc tùng dinh dinh
I carry my lantern to welcome the Moon Goddess

Mid-Autumn Festival, with cakes and gifts galore
Children gather around, laughing and playing
With lotus seeds and mooncakes full of filling
I want to eat four, five, or even three pieces

Sweet and fragrant like mooncakes and baked goods
Spicy-sweet like candied ginger and preserved squash
Cool and refreshing, bringing more joy
Cracking sunflower seeds with a crisp sound
Everyone laughs and chats excitedly
With hearts full of joy, celebrating the full moon"

The cheerful lyrics and lively melody of "The Little One Loves the Earth God" make it an excellent choice for a preschool Mid-Autumn dance performance.

Song Lyrics:

"Oh, the Earth God has such a funny belly
He holds a fan and dances with great joy
Oh, the Earth God has such a charming face
He smiles endlessly, never seeming to tire of it.

He watches lion dances or dragon performances
I like the Earth God the most because he is so joyful
The Earth God doesn't dare to climb as high as the lion or the dragon
He stands and dances on the ground, his face is so endearing."

My heart fills with memories of childhood days
Excitedly watching us play and laugh
Lanterns in hand, twinkling candles glowing.

With friends sitting under the golden moonlight
Sharing stories from when we were little
Red and blue lanterns spinning fast
All joining together, singing in harmony with the moon.

Oh, Lady Moon, and Uncle Cuoi, dreaming of returning to Earth
Where a group of children sit and tell stories
Stories of the past, from days long gone.

Let’s all sing together, a tune full of joy
The Jade Rabbit hopping under the moonlight
Uncle Cuoi, lost in thought, reminiscing about old tales
Now he sits and writes poems, always dreaming!!"

Uncle Cuoi, Cuoi plays with the moon
For a thousand years, it's always the same
Playing with the moon, playing with the moon all night long
Cuoi, oh Cuoi, come here, Cuoi, come here, Cuoi!"

"Enjoying the countryside, when the sun shines so bright
Suddenly, Cuoi dreams of ascending to the heavens
Who would have thought, Cuoi sitting on the moon, under the banyan tree
Alone, with a heavy heart
Hungry with nothing to eat
His friends are gone, no one to play with
Cuoi, oh Cuoi, even a bowl of porridge is better
Than sitting on the moon, all alone!"
