1959年春天，八一电影制片厂导演张加毅带领摄制组赴新疆拍摄记录片《绿色的原野》，拍摄的地点选定在伊犁地区可克达拉农场。新疆这块美丽的土地，这 里勤劳、淳朴、能歌善舞的民族，这里的一切都使张加毅赞叹不已。他在激动中写出了《草原之夜》的歌词后，交给作曲家田歌，田歌用40分钟写出了这首后来蜚 声海内外的名歌。1990年，《草原之夜》被联合国教科文组织命名为“东方小夜曲”。

歌词：
美丽的夜色多沉静，草原上只留下我的琴声。
想给远方的姑娘写封信耶，可惜没有邮递员来传情。
等到千里雪消融，等到草原上送来春风。
可克达拉改变了模样耶，姑娘就会来伴我的琴声。
姑娘就会来伴我的琴声，姑娘就会来伴我的琴声。
