A classic song.

采蘑菇的小姑娘............................The mushroom gathering girl

背着一个大竹筐............................Shoulders a bamboo basket

清晨光着小脚丫............................Early morning glistens before

走遍森林和山冈............................Foraging within the forest and mountains

她采的蘑菇最多............................She picks a bounty

多得像那星星数不清.........................Too many to count

她采的蘑菇最大............................She picks a bounty

大得像那小伞装满筐.........................The basket is brimming

噻箩箩哩噻箩箩哩噻.........................Sai-luo-luo-li, Sai-luo-luo-li-sai

噻箩箩箩.................................Sai-luo-luo

噻箩箩箩哩噻.............................Sai-luo-luo-li-sai

~

谁不知这山里的蘑菇香.......................The local mushrooms are a famed delicacy

她却不肯尝一尝............................She just doesn’t dare to taste

攒到赶集的那一天..........................Save them for the market

赶快背到集市上............................Take them to the market

换上一把小镰刀............................To swap for a sickle

再加上几块棒棒糖..........................And a couple lollipops

和那小伙伴一起............................And with that friend

把劳动的幸福来分享.........................Enjoy the fruits of labor

While I encourage any questions, 'quires and qualms, my hope is that rather than simple criticism, we instead make constructive suggestions with specific examples.

My initial words are not the end all, but rather the instigation of further creation.
