Lyrics - Pinyin
(Folk song from China)
Gōngkè wánbì tàiyáng
Ná qǐ shū bào huí jiā qù
kànjiàn fùmǔ xíng gè lǐ
fùmǔ duì wǒ xiàoxīxī
English Translation - After school
Homework finished, the sun goes down (in the West)
Pick up the newspaper and go home
Salute to see parents
My parents smiled at me
Chinese - 放学
功课完毕太阳西
拿起书报回家去
看见父母行个礼
父母对我笑嘻嘻
Recorder Notes D, E, G, A, B, D'
