Nice Beginnerlevel Song + Chords: Xiao Wei

[HerrPetersen]

I just tried to hear out the chords of the song XiaoWei (see: http://www.chinese-tools.com/songs/song/85/xiaowei.html)

and here is what I came up with:

C.......................Am

Yǒu yī gè měi lìde xiǎo nǚ hái

........Dm........................G

tā de míngzi jiào zuò xiǎo wēi

..............C.......................Am

Tā yǒu shuāng wēn róu de yǎn jing

......Dm.......G...................C

Tā qiāo qiāo tōu zǒu wǒ de xīn

C..........Am

Xiǎo wēi a

..............................G..Am

Nǐ kě zhīdào wǒ duō ài nǐ

.............Dm..............................G

Wǒ yào dài nǐ fēi dào tiān shàng qù

.............C

Kàn nà xīng xīng duō měi lì

............Dm.................G..........C

Zhāi xià yī kē qīn shǒu sòng gěi nǐ

有一个美丽的小女孩

她的名字叫做小薇

她有双温柔的眼睛

她悄悄偷走我的心

小薇啊

你可知道我多爱你

我要带你飞到天上去

看那星星多美丽

摘下一颗亲手送给你

It is really basic vocabulary except for maybe the girl's name. Even though its a little Chinese-style cheesy its really fun, and it gave me a motivation-burst: Wow, my first not totally trival chinese song (aka Shengri Kuaile). Please try it out, and don't blame me for maybe not 100% correct chords.

ps its easy to change XiaoWei with your darlings name.

congratulations.

Thanks. In German language we have the term "Ohrwurm" which means "earworm" - meaning a song or melody you can't get out of your mind even if you want to. I am constantly singing Chinese right now

More to come

I don't know what's your voice range, I'd probably move it up to F or G. G is G7(C/D7)? Same four chords all over, at least you can concentrate on the lyrics.

Hei,

I was just searching for a translation for the term earworm. Its synonymous to the little insect 耳夹子虫 in german as well as in english but it also describes the state of having a tune or melody stuck in ones head, like when you heard the hair-restorer advertising spot some seven or eight times in loop...

How do you say that in chinese?

It can be worse. I had a few lines of this song in my head, off and on, for more than three years, until I finally bought the cd to own the entire song, only to find that what I had in my head was most of the song anyway.

But, yeah, perfect beginner's song.
