Lyrics - Pinyin
(Folk song from Taiwan)
Wǒ yǒu yìzhī xiǎo máolǘ wǒ cóngláiyěbù qí
Yǒu yì tiān wǒ xīnxuèláicháo qí-zhe qù gǎnjí
Wǒ shǒulǐ názhe xiǎo píbiān wǒ xīn lǐ zhēn déyì
Bù zhī zěnme *huālālālā wǒ shuāile yìshēn ní
English Translation - I have a small donkey
I have a little donkey I never ride
One day I decide to ride to market
I have a little whip, my heart inside feels good
Not know how, but I fell off and fell into the mud
Chinese - 小毛驴
我有一头小毛驴，我从来也不骑。
有一天我心血来潮，骑着去赶集。
我手里拿着小皮鞭，心里正得意。
不知怎么哗啦啦啦摔了我一身泥。

Thank you,
on the second line, it should be qí-zhe not qíz-he. Mandarin phonology does not allow a sound like ‘qíz’.

Thank you!
