over the last few months I have had to read a myriad of electronics datasheets in Chinglish (with the Chinese and English all mixed together) and have been listening to China Radio on a 1980s shortwave receiver left behind by a former residents relatives; CRI still regularly transmit programmes in English, French and German with a documentary about CN followed by a Chinese lesson (using decent transmitters and locations that can overpower all the local interference).
Although the only bits of this I can remember are
你是電 你是光 你是唯一的神話 nǐ shì diàn nǐ shì guāng nǐ shì wéiyī de shénhuà (you are electricity, you are light, you are my only myth)
我只愛你 wǒ zhǐ ài nǐ You are my super star (I only love you, you are my super star)
One reason I learn German and Dutch is they are both far easier than Chinese; although 10 years ago when I went to a local Chinese restaurant for my birthday (with my mum and aunt) within about 5 minutes the boss quizzed us as to whether we were Malaysian; if I was married (I am not) – soon after a young Chinese lass about the same age started trying to somewhat akwardly flirt with me (with the old guy observing closely – I suspect he was her biological Dad).
Although she was smart and good looking like these lasses in the video; if things had gone any further I would have been culturally obliged to get married; stay married, produce at least one child and visit the extended family in either CN or MY (so would have to learn Chinese anyway); and regularly attend Mass (priests can help get the immigration visas sorted across Europe). it is not unlike ending up as one of the pandas in the zoo…
It wouldn’t have helped either of our families that much as we were both working for family businesses – I would have taken the kids to NL, DE or DK as it is not safe to raise them in England with dangerous roads; (although now the aircrafts are becoming unsafe) and instead of being able to post here today I’d be getting stress about preparing the kids for the high school, their exam scores (I would try not to be as strict as Dad but what often happens in many Asian families is Mum becomes stricter), and having to fix about 5 bicycles and 15+ computers/other devices…
笑 就歌頌 一皺眉頭就心痛
我沒空理會我 只感受你的感受
你要往哪走 把我靈魂也帶走
它為你著了魔 留著有什麼用
你是電 你是光 你是唯一的神話
我只愛你 You are my super star
你主宰 我崇拜 沒有更好的辦法 只能愛你 You are my super star
手 不是手 是 溫柔的宇宙
我這顆小星球 就在你手中轉動
請 看見我 讓我有夢可以作
我為你發了瘋 你必須獎勵我
你是意義 是天是地是神的旨意
除了愛你 沒有真理
火 你是火 是我飛蛾的盡頭
沒想過要逃脫 為什麼我要逃脫
謝謝你給我 一段快樂的夢遊
如果我忘了我 請幫忙記得我
