English Lyrics Chinese Lyrics

See this flue of fine bamboo. Yi gu dzu ju, jih miao miao;
I have made it just for you. Sung ya bao bao tsuo kwan shiao;
Have a little blow. Shiao er duay jung kou,
Try and make it go. Kou er duay jung shiao.
Make a tune for us to sing. Shiao jung chuai chu shih shin diao.
Sing, sing sing. Shiao bao bao.
Yidi, yidi, make it sing. Yidi yidi shueh huai liao,
Sing, sing sing. Shiao bao bao.
Yidi, yidi, make it sing. Yidi yidi shueh huai liao,
La la la la la la. La la la la la la.
