弯弯的月儿


This poem-like song is sweet and peaceful, written by Shengtao YE, a Chinese author and educator. Please listen to it, imaging sitting in a small boat at night and looking at the blue sky full of bright starts. The shape of the boat is like a crescent moon. 



弯弯的月儿,小小的船
Wān wān de yuè er, xiǎo xiǎo de chuán
A crescent moon, a small boat,
小小的船两头尖
xiǎo xiǎo de chuán liǎngtóu jiān
A small boat with two pointed sides,
我在小小的船里坐
wǒ zài xiǎo xiǎo de chuán lǐ zuò
I sit in this small boat,
只看见闪闪的星星蓝蓝的天
zhǐ kànjiàn shǎnshǎn de xīngxīng lán lán de tiān
All I can see is the stars twinkling in the deep blue sky.
