壮zhuàng族zú的de刘liú三sān姐jiě歌唱gē chàng得de最好zuì hǎo，用yòng歌声gē shēng帮bāng穷人qióng rén出chū气qì，骂mà地主dì zhǔ。

Third Sister Liu of the Zhuang sang best of all, giving voice to the poor and mocking the landlords.

财cái主zhǔ莫mò怀huái仁rén不bú让ràng她tā唱歌chàng gē，还hái请qǐng来lái三sān个gè秀xiù才cái跟gēn她tā对duì歌gē。

The rich Mo Huairen banned her songs and hired three scholars to out-sing her.

三sān个gè秀xiù才cái带dài了le一yì船chuán歌gē书shū来lái，刘liú三sān姐jiě不用bú yòng看kàn书shū，张zhāng口kǒu就jiù把bǎ他们tā men对duì得de哑yǎ口kǒu无wú言yán。

They came with a whole boatload of songbooks; bookless Liu answered each verse instantly and left them speechless.

秀xiù才cái们men羞xiū得dé回去huí qu了le。刘liú三sān姐jiě的de山shān歌gē一直yì zhí唱chàng到dào今天jīn tiān，广guǎng西xī人rén都dōu说shuō：三sān姐jiě的de歌gē比bǐ漓lí江jiāng的de水shuǐ还hái多duō。

The scholars went home shamed; her songs flow on, the people of Guangxi say her songs outnumber the Li River's waters.
