I got the Chinese lyrics and the Idiomatic Translation from a site and also used it to assist with the conversation to Pinyin. As the words on that site was in bitmap format, I retyped it so it’s easy to copy and paste.
The lyrics below comprise the following:
– The Chinese Characters
If you can’t see it, install a language pack.
– The Pinyin
To pronounce the characters.
– The Literal Translation
Literally translated, word for word.
– The Idiomatic Translation
How it translates in the context of the dfferent languages.
Groups of underlined Pinyin indicates 1 word. The numbers represent the tones ( _ / \/ \ ), which are unimportant when you sing, but quite important when you speak.
