Mandarin Song
Performed by Zhang Li Yin
Yi jing shi qu ji yi de wo
Ai qing shi she chi de ji mo
Zhan dou de shuang shou zhua bu zhu ni de ti wen
Xin zao shi yi di ling lao
I don't know ni wei he zou
I don't know ni de ai
Yi bu zai hui shou ai mei you jie kou
Ceng jing zhe shi jie mei li de zhi you ni
Hui shai de tian kong hui yi de jin tou
Shi qu ni yi hou xin cai dong you duo tong
Yi jing ting zhi xin tiao de wo
Yuan li de bei ying li xiao shou
Hu xi zai diao ling lei shui xiao wo de chi kuang
Xin zao jiu wu li hui tou
I don't know ni wei he zou
I don't know ni de ai
Yi bu zai hui shou ai mei you jie kou
Ceng jing zhe shi jie mei li de zhi you ni
Hui shai de tian kong hui yi de jin tou
Shi qu ni yi hou xin cai dong you duo tong
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
Ni shuo ni zou no, no, no I don't know~
Gu dan shan de xuan lu zhi xi de kong qi
Shi qu de ai cai shi wei yi de xian zai
Shui ken qing ting wo xin sui de ku qi
Si nian dao zui hou cai zhi dao zhi you tong
Yi bu zai hui shou ai mei you jie kou
Ceng jing zhe shi jie mei li de zhi you ni zhe shi jie
Hui shai de tian kong hui yi de jin tou
Shi qu ni yi hou ni yi jing li kai
Xin cai dong you duo tong li kai ni yi hou
