Learn Chinese Through Songs: Zhōng Guó Huà S.H.E

A really fun way to learn Chinese is through songs. Today I want to recommend a song called 中国话: Zhōngguó huà (S.H.E), which means Mandarin language.

A Little Happiness: Where to Listen

It is a romantic and touching song about love and loss.

I will not be surprised if this reminds you of your first love when you listen to it.

Actually so many emotions are given about how they miss, regret and treasure their relationship with their partner, which you can reflect on after listening to it.

So, it is an easy song to understand with a slow speed making it a good song for you to copy and learn Mandarin.

A Little Happiness: Verse 1

我听见雨滴落在青青草地

I heard rain drops on the green grass

我听见远方下课钟声响起
wǒ tīngjiàn yuǎnfāng xiàkè zhōng shēng xiǎngqǐ
I heard the school bell ringing in the distance

可是我没有听见你的声音
kěshì wǒ méiyǒu tīngjiàn nǐ de shēngyīn
But I didn’t hear your voice

认真 呼唤我姓名
rènzhēn hūhuàn wǒ xìngmíng
Earnestly calling my name

爱上你的时候还不懂感情
ài shàng nǐ de shíhòu hái bù dǒng gǎnqíng
When I fell in love with you, I didn’t understand the feelings

离别了才觉得刻骨 铭心
líbiéle cái juédé kègǔmíngxīn
Only after we parted did I feel  that you were unforgettable 

A Little Happiness: Verse 2

为什么没有发现遇见了你
wèishéme méiyǒu fāxiàn yùjiànle nǐ
Why didn’t I realize that meeting you

是生命最好的事情
shì shēngmìng zuì hǎo de shìqíng
Was the best thing that happened in life

也许当时忙着微笑和哭泣

Maybe I was busy smiling and crying

忙着追逐天空中的流星
mángzhe zhuīzhú tiānkōng zhōng de liúxīng
Busy chasing meteors in the sky

人理所当然的忘记
rén lǐsuǒdāngrán de wàngjì
People forget easily

是谁风里雨里一直默默守护在原地
shì shuí fēng lǐ yǔ lǐ yīzhí mòmò shǒuhù zài yuándì
Who it is that has been silently waiting in the same place in wind and rain

A Little Happiness: Chorus

原来你是我最想留住的幸运
yuánlái nǐ shì wǒ zuì xiǎng liú zhù de xìngyùn
It turns out that you are the luck I want to keep most

原来我们和爱情曾经靠得那么近

It turns out that we used to be so close to love

那为我对抗世界的决定
nà wèi wǒ duìkàng shìjiè de juédìng
The decision to fight the world for me

那陪我淋的雨
nà péi wǒ lín de yǔ
Then stay with me in the rain

一幕幕都是你 一尘不染的真心
yīmù mù dōu shì nǐ yīchénbùrǎn de zhēnxīn
Every scene is you, a spotless sincere heart

与你相遇 好幸运
yǔ nǐ xiāngyù hǎo xìngyùn
So lucky to meet you

可我已失去为你泪流满面的权利
kě wǒ yǐ shīqù wèi nǐ lèi liú mǎnmiàn de quánlì
But I have lost the right to burst into tears for you

但愿在我看不到的天际
dàn yuàn zài wǒ kàn bù dào de tiānjì
I hope in the sky that I can’t see

你张开了双翼
nǐ zhāng kāile shuāngyì
You opened up your wings

遇见你的注定 她会有多幸运
yùjiàn nǐ de zhùdìng tā huì yǒu duō xìngyùn
And met your destiny, how lucky she will be
