Very easy to research the internet for the Mandarin, Pinyin, and English. Use YouTube for the songs. You can even sing a bit in a Chinese restaurant for the waitresses who just love it.

I still had a little trouble. The song stopped part of the way through. Then it ended on its own. The singer has a wonderful voice. I appreciate this song, both the music and the lyrics. Now, do you know of any way to get the musical manuscript so that I could play it myself? I could figure it out by ear, but I am trying to take the easy way. Annie Albert, thanks!

I tried just posting a link to the baidu search, but now my link should be updated to the mp3 file itself. Unfortunately, the name of the file once it's downloaded is gibberish--feel free to rename it. Anne,

I had layers of pages with no results. Any suggestions? I will check out your translation page because I am looking for translations for a few songs. Thanks for your website!
