S.H.E. 中国话 歌词英译

S.H.E. Chinese (Lyrics, English translation)

Shoulder pole wide, bench long

Shoulder pole wants to be tied to bench

Shoulder pole wide, bench long

Shoulder pole wants to be tied to bench

London Maryan bought a  cheongsam to her Mom

Moskow ovski becomes attached to Gnocchi

Various colors of skin, various colors of hair
mumbling, muttering and start to speak Chinese

Took us so many years to practice English pronouciation and grammar

Now it's their turn to twist their tongues for the four tunes

平平仄仄平平仄 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
How smart are the Chinese, how beautiful is Chinese

 

Shoulder pole wide, bench long

Shoulder pole wants to be tied to bench

Bench won't let shoulder pole to be tied to bench

Shoulder pole insists  to be tied to bench

Bench just won't let shoulder pole to be tied to bench

Shoulder pole wider, or bench longer

Big Bro Little Bro sit in front of the hill

Up the hill sits a goose

Downt the hill floats a river

Big Bro says wide wide river

Little Bro says white white goose

The goose wants to cross the river  and the river wants to ferry the goose across

Not sure it's the goose crossing river

or the river ferries the goose across

The whole world is learning Chinese

Confucius' words becomes internationalized

The whole world is speaking Chinese

What we are saying, now the whole world is seriously listening

New York Susana opened a Zen Lounge Bar

Berlin Wolfgan used Chinese instruments to accompany his electric guitar

Various colors of skin, various colors of hair
mumbling, muttering and start to speak Chinese

Took us so many years to practice English pronouciation and grammar

Now it's their turn to twist their tongues for the four tunes

平平仄仄平平仄 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
How smart are the Chinese, how beautiful is Chinese

 

There was a boy named Xiaodu

went buying vinegar and cloth

he bought cloth he got vinegar

turned around seeing a eagle snatched a rabbit

he put down cloth he put down vinegar

jumped for the eagle and the rabbit

Away flew the eagle and away fled the rabbit

Spilled the vinegar and wet the cloth

the mouth blamed the legs and the legs blamed the mouth

the mouth blamed the legs like to run away

the legs blamed the mouth to sell away
Blah the mouth and not move the legs

or move the legs but not blah the mouth

Why could one not grow the legs and the mouth

What is it? the mouth blamed the legs or the legs blamed the mouth

The whole world is learning Chinese

Confucius' words becomes internationalized

The whole world is speaking Chinese

What we are saying, now the whole world is seriously listening

The whole world is learning Chinese

Confucius' words becomes internationalized

The whole world is speaking Chinese

What we are saying, now the whole world is seriously listening

S.H.E. 中国话

扁担宽 板凳长
扁担想绑在板凳上
扁担宽 板凳长
扁担想绑在板凳上
伦敦玛莉莲 买了件旗袍送妈妈
莫斯科的夫司基 爱上牛肉面疙瘩
各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发
嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话
多少年我们苦练英文发音和文法
这几年换他们卷著舌头学平上去入的变化
平平仄仄平平仄 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话
扁担宽 板凳长
扁担想绑在板凳上
板凳不让扁担绑在板凳上
扁担偏要绑在板凳上
板凳偏偏不让扁担绑在那板凳上
到底扁担宽还是板凳长
哥哥弟弟坡前坐
坡上卧著一只鹅
坡下流著一条河
哥哥说 宽宽的河
弟弟说 白白的鹅
鹅要过河 河要渡鹅
不知是那鹅过河
还是河渡鹅
全世界都在学中国话
孔夫子的话 越来越国际化
全世界都在讲中国话
我们说的话 让世界都认真听话
纽约苏珊娜 开了间禅风Lounge Bar
柏林来的沃夫冈 拿胡琴配著电吉他
各种颜色的皮肤 各种颜色的头发
嘴里念的说的开始流行中国话
多少年我们苦练英文发音和文法
这几年换他们卷著舌头学平上去入的变化
平平仄仄平平仄 (仄仄平平仄仄平)
好聪明的中国人 好优美的中国话
有个小孩叫小杜
上街打醋又买布
买了布 打了醋
回头看见鹰抓兔
放下布 搁下醋
上前去追鹰和兔
飞了鹰 跑了兔
洒了醋 湿了布
嘴说腿 腿说嘴
嘴说腿 爱跑腿
腿说嘴 爱卖嘴
光动嘴 不动腿
光动腿 不动嘴
不如不长腿和嘴
到底是那嘴说腿 还是腿说嘴
全世界都在学中国话
孔夫子的话 越来越国际化
全世界都在讲中国话
我们说的话 让世界都认真听话
全世界都在学中国话
孔夫子的话 越来越国际化
全世界都在讲中国话
我们说的话 让世界都认真听话
