Kan Guo Lai

I believe that learning a song is a great way to learn a language, and my Chinese teachers thought so too. Today I will share with you all the first song I was taught in my Chinese class, which also happens to be one of my favorite Chinese songs. In my opinion, this is also the most popular Chinese song among foreigners. That is the reason why it is sung not only in Chinese classrooms but also in Karaoke bars across China.

看过来

对面的孩看过来

duìmiàn de nǚhái kàn guòlái

看过来,看过来

kàn guòlái, kàn guòlái

这里的表演很精彩

zhèlǐ de biǎoyǎn hěn jīngcǎi

请不要家装不理不睬

qǐng bùyào jiǎzhuāng bù lǐ bù cǎi

对面的孩看过来

duìmiàn de nǚhái kàn guòlái

看过来,看过来

kàn guòlái, kàn guòlái

不要被我的样子吓坏

bùyào bèi wǒde yàngzi xià huài

其实我很可爱

qíshí wǒ hěn kěài

Here is the English translation

Girl from across, look over here

Look over here, look over here

The performance is very spectacular

Please don’t pretend to ignore me

Girl from across, look over here

Look over here, look over here

Don’t be frightened by my appearance

Really, I am very cute!

And this is how it ends…

哎。。。算了,回家吧

Āi. . . suàn le, huí jiā ba

Ah…forget it, let’s go home

This is a really fun song. Hope you will enjoy it.

    One of my favorite "learning a foreign language songs" is Malaika in Swahili (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9W3Dw_TiKk)
