Here’s my latest venture into Chinese music. This one is a very catchy tune. I first heard it in the dance club we frequented in Shiyan, Heaven on Earth ( 天上人间 ) during the holidays, and since then, everywhere.
So, after the usual mission for an English speaker to find Chinese songs and lyrics, I finally tracked down some links.
As usual, you’ve got the Chinese characters, the Pinyin, and I fully intended to have the literal and idiomatic translations for it to, but… this song is a bit new and funky and there seems to be too much slang for me to translate it on my own, so I need to get some help… I will post as I find it.
