Hakka mountain songs (1)

I am trying to post all the Hakka mountain songs I can find from the
books on Hakkas. They will be in Chinese with my humble English  
translation. 

As far back as Tang Dynasty (618AD to 907AD) there were people discussing
about mountain songs. The famous Tang poet Li Yi (李益) mention twice
about mountain songs in his poems. 

無 奈 孤 舟 夕﹐ 山 歌 聞 竹 枝。

Since I am alone in a boat at the time of sunset,
I sing mountain songs and listen to the bamboo rustling.

豈 無 山 歌 與 村 苗﹐

How can it be without mountain songs and villages.
