Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

It's Wednesday.  Let's do something easy!


milky Way


(The Milky Way = 銀河  “Silver River")



English:

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!


The Chinese with literal meaning:

一閃一閃亮晶晶                               Shimmer, shimmer, shiny and bright.
滿天都是小星星                               The sky full of little stars.
掛在天上放光明                             Hanging in the sky shooting rays of light.
好像許多小眼睛                             Like many tiny little eyes
一閃一閃亮晶晶                             Shimmer, shimmer, shiny and bright.
滿天都是小星星                              The sky full of little stars.


The Chinese version makes the sky sound like a giant dark monster that shoots laser beams from its eyes. Puny earthlings!
