Katie’s Korner

Time now for something different.  It’s my weekend music post.  Back in Y2K my wife and I adopted our daughter Katie just before her first birthday.

One of the promises we made our adoption agency was that we would tell our daughter about the culture of her birth country.  That’s why among Katie’s interests in addition to the usual stuff, (Hannah Montana, Radio Disney, Roller Skating) she also likes C-Pop.  That’s pop music in Chinese.  One of her favorite videos is by the group called S*H*E* with their song “Ring Ring Ring.”

First  for what it’s worth here are the lyrics in Pinyin

zhong yu liao jie deng dai zi wei
shi rang ren zhe me zhua kuang beng kui
nan dao ni dui wo mei gan jue
gei le ni hao ma zen me hai bu lai ai dian

ring a ring a ring ring a ring a ring hui bu hui shi ni
yao xiang ji sheng cai neng jie
xin tiao de sheng yin, beng beng zhong di yin
pa ling sheng hui ting, gan kuai an xia tong hua jian

la chang er duo ti gao jing jue, shen jing xi bao quan mian jie bei
ni de dian hua jue bu lou jie, ring a ring a ring, ai de he xian ling ya
guan ta wang wai huo shi wang nei, yue di zai kao lv tong hua fei
ti wen yi ran shao dao fei dian, wo bu pa ao ye, guan ta hei yan quan ya
lai dian again

jie dao ni de lai dian wo hui da han ya ya
ting dao ni de sheng yin wo jiu ok
bao qian wang le jin chi zen me yan
ke shi xing fen hen nan shou lian

fan fu kan shou ji hao ji bian
jiu dan xin dian chi tu ran mei dian
ni dao di you mei you gan jue
gei le ni hao ma zen me hai bu lai ai dian

RAP

ring ring ring, ai de he xian ling zai jing xing
xin tiao de xin sheng kai shi zhen dong wo de jin
xin sheng bu zhi ni shi fou zai deng dai, wo yi jing zai zhe bian qi dai
ring ring ring, xi wang ting dao ni shuo hi

NOW FOR THE VERY ROUGH GOOGLE TRANSLATION

Please keep in mind music lyrics are going to lose allot in translation

But it gives you some idea anyway, it’s all about working a customer service center for a cell phone company and dealing with people who are clueless about using their new cell phones.

Come to understand the taste is to allow people to wait for the collapse of so crazy Do not you I did not feel right to you how do not call number

＊RING A RING A RING A RING A RING * RING A RING A RING A RING A RING

Could it be that you have to (let it) ring for several more (times) will take heart afraid of (before you’re brave enough to answer your phone) the sound (of the) bouncing bass tone will stop and quickly press the Talk key

RING A RING A RING # Elongated nerve cells in the ear to improve on full alert must wake up your phone never fumbled RING A RING A RING
Love Chord bell AGAIN

Pipe net, or nets, he considered the end of airtime to the boiling point temperature has been burning late at night I could not control his black eye calls AGAIN

YA I will be receiving your phone shouting YA
OK I hear your voice OK
Sorry forgot to restrained speech, but how exciting is difficult to converge

Repeated several times to see cell phone batteries to worry about a sudden no power in the end you have no feeling for how you do not call number
