《锦绣华南 9》歌词：
[00:00.997] Like most Miao dwellings, the Songs' living room windows look out over the paddy fields.
[00:06.508] From early spring, one of these windows is always left open to let the swallows come and go freely.
[00:15.800] Each year,
[00:17.170] granddad Gu notes the exact day the swallows return.
[00:22.105] Miao people believe the birds' arrival predicts the timing of the season ahead.
[00:27.295] This year, they were late.
[00:29.763] So Gu and the other community elders have agreed that rice planting should be delayed accordingly.
[00:46.959] As the Miao prepare their fields for planting,
[00:50.448] the swallows collect mud to repair their nests and chase after insects across the newly ploughed paddies.

[00:00.997]如大多数苗人一样，宋家起居室的窗子可以眺望见成片的梯田
[00:06.508]从早春起，一扇窗子便为了方便燕子往返穿飞而敞开。
[00:15.800]每年
[00:17.170]古老爹知晓燕子归来的确切时间
[00:22.105]苗族人坚信这些鸟儿的归来预示着春季的来临
[00:27.295]然而今年，它们姗姗来迟
[00:29.763]因此古老爹和其他族中长老一致认为今年的插秧应当推迟
[00:46.959]当苗族人为了插秧而整备田地时
[00:50.448]燕子们或搜集修整巢穴用的泥巴，或穿越新耕的稻田追逐昆虫
