Bogart Posted November 13, 2005 at 12:19 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 at 12:19 AM Hi, I am a M.Ed. student. For one of my classes, I need to teach a children's sing. I have decided to teach Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star in Chinese (Mandarin). The problem is that I can not find the lyrics anywhere on the internet. Can someone translate this for me? Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle little star How I wonder what you are Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!!

wai ming Posted November 13, 2005 at 04:39 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 at 04:39 AM Well, these aren't straight translations, but I found these lyrics on the internet. I'm not sure which one is usually sung, but I'd guess it's the first one. The second version seems to accommodate for two verses... Either way, I'm pretty sure it starts with the line 一闪一闪亮晶晶, and my friend seems to think so too, although he can't remember anymore than the first line. Hope this helps! 《小星星》 一闪一闪亮晶晶 满天都是小星星 挂在天上放光明 好像许多小眼睛 一闪一闪亮晶晶 满天都是小星星 《小星星》 一闪一闪亮晶晶，神奇可爱的小星星 高高挂在天空中，好象宝石放光明 一闪一闪亮晶晶，神奇可爱的小星星 当那太阳落下山，大地披上黑色夜影 天上升起小星星，光辉照耀到天明 一闪一闪亮晶晶，神奇可爱的小星星 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randall_flagg Posted November 13, 2005 at 09:29 AM Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 at 09:29 AM I just double-checked: in episode 2 of 中国式离婚 cute little 当当 sings the first of the two versions that were posted. I wish I could be there when you teach those little kids how to sing that song. It's so cute! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogart Posted November 13, 2005 at 04:51 PM Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 at 04:51 PM SQUEEEEEE!!!!!! Thank you, thank you so much Joei!! Wai and Randall, all I see are ???? in your posts, but thank you anyway for helping! My group partners and I were going crazy trying to find these lyrics. We were thinking about just getting a Chinese dictionary and translating it word for word. Again thank you very much! Liz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
