Pengyou Posted June 26, 2020 at 07:11 AM Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 at 07:11 AM I am looking for the lyrics of this song translated into Chinese. It is an oldie - more than 45 years old - so, while it once may have been popular in China and had Chinese lyrics, that was a long time ago. Google keeps pointing me to "Yesterday Once More".

Not sure the translator managed to preserve that memorable rhyme of creation-explanation, though. Anyway, you'll find the rest here, assuming you have access to Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tU8AchI6BiI Seems to me maybe thirty years ago or so 木匠兄妹 were pretty popular in China. (The Andrews Sisters. Now their songs are oldies. But not the Carpenters'.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

889 Posted June 26, 2020 at 11:20 AM Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 at 11:20 AM Sorry. For copyright or other licensing reasons you'll sometimes get a "Blocked in Your Country" message on Youtube. Or maybe somebody decided the Carpenters are just too wholesomely American for Britain. Trivia Extra: The Carpenters' father was born in China, son of missionaries. EDIT: I just loaded up a VPN connecting through the UK and had no problem with the video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No haha, just a straight forward typo, no pun intended, but now you have pointed it out, I feel strangely proud, unjustly but still 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
