Thoroughly Modern Millie movie - Muqin lyrics

rate me

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

Everything seems lovely<br>

When you start to roam<br>

The birds are singing <br>

The day that you stray<br>

But wait until you are further away<br>

Things won't be so lovely<br>

When you're all alone<br>

Here's what you'll keep saying<br>

When you're far from home<br>

<br>

(MRS. MEERS dangles a photograph in front of CHING HO and BUN FOO: it's their mother.)<br>

<br>

BUN FOO:<br>

Muqin (Mammy)<br>

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

That's right<br>

<br>

CHING HO:<br>

Muqin (Mammy)<br>

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

Now you're talking<br>

<br>

BUN FOO:<br>

Taiyang zhao dong fang (The sun shines east)<br>

<br>

CHING HO:<br>

Taiyang zhao xi fang (The sun shines west)<br>

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

But you know where "taiyang zhao" best<br>

<br>

BUN FOO:<br>

Zhao dao, zhao dao muqin (On Mammy)<br>

Ta Shenshang<br>

<br>

CHING HO:<br>

Zhao wo, zhao wo muqin (My Mammy)<br>

Ta shenshang<br>

<br>

BOTH:<br>

Wode xin yongyuan wang jiaxiang <br>

(My heart strings are tangled around Siam-y)<br>

<br>

CHING HO:<br>

Wo lailiao. Buren yao nin duo dengdai <br>

(I'm coming. Sorry that I made you wait.)<br>

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

Take her home!<br>

<br>

BUN FOO:<br>

Wo lailiao. Wanle kongpa nin buzai <br>

(I'm coming. I hope and pray I'm not too late.)<br>

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

It's never too late for<br>

<br>

ALL THREE:<br>

Mammy, Mammy<br>

<br>

CHING HO and BUN FOO:<br>

Wo yuen zou baiwan li kan ni xiaomimi <br>

(We'd walk a million miles for one of those smiles.)<br>

<br>

ALL THREE:<br>

My Mammy<br>

<br>

CHING HO:<br>

Wo yuen zou baiwan li kan ni xiaomimi <br>

(We'd walk a million miles for one of those smiles.)<br>

<br>

BUN FOO:<br>

Wo yibei fanzui yebu haipa <br>

(We'd lead a life of crime to buy us some time.)<br>

<br>

MRS. MEERS:<br>

They'll work for Mrs. Meers<br>

The rest of their years!<br>

<br>

ALL THREE:<br>

My Mammy!<br>

<br>
