Mama Is The Best
September 5, 2006This post goes out to all mothers out there with special mention of course to my lovely wife Alice and also my mother Ellie. You are the two most important women in my life and I don’t always say it in person so I will do so here.
What I for you is a Chinese nursery song called Mama Hao (Mama is Good or Mama is the Best) that EVERY Chinese child knows and many of the “Made In China” foreign children know as well. Alice has sang this a countless number of times trying to get her two little angels to sleep.
The words of the song in Pinyin, Characters and the English translation are as follows
| Shi shang zhi you ma ma hao you ma de hai zi xiang ge bao. tou jin ma ma de huai bao |
世上只有妈妈好 有妈的孩子像个宝 投进了妈妈的怀抱 幸福享不了 |
Mommy’s the only dearest in the world With a mom, you have the most valued treasure. Jump into mom’s heart and you have endless happiness. |
| shi shang zhi you ma ma hao mei ma de hai zi xiang ge cao li kai ma ma de huai bao xin fu na li zhao. |
世上只有妈妈好
没妈的孩子像根草 |
Mommy’s the only dearest in the world without a mom you are like a piece of grass/straw away from mom’s heart, |
And if you want to listen to a small Chinese girl singing it please click the link below for the mp3 file. You can rightclick it to save it or just click to play it in your web browser. If you click it to play it will open up a new window which you can close after listening to the song.
To all the mothers out there .. you are the best and don’t let those children and those men in your life forget it.
That is really sweet. Thank u, baby!
