( From heaven fell a Sister Lin )
天上掉下個林妹妹
tiān shàng diào xià gè lín mèi mei

( Fall into my wine glass and change to water)
掉進我酒杯化成了水
diào jìn wǒ jiǔ bēi huà chéng le shuǐ

( Candle light cannot guess your throughts, )
燭光猜不透你的心思
zhú guāng cāi bù tòu nǐ de xīn sī

( only I can get a taste of how you really are )
只有我能嘗出你的滋味
zhǐ yǒu wǒ néng cháng chū nǐ de zī wèi



( Your movements are swift like wind blowing the willow tree, )
都說你行動好比風拂柳
dōu shuō nǐ xíng dòng hǎo bǐ fēng fú liǔ

( quiet like a water reflection of a beautiful flower )
嫻靜猶如花照水
xián jìng yóu rú huā zhào shuǐ

( They can all look at the view from roadside, )
他們只能在路邊看風景
tā men zhǐ néng zài lù biān kàn fēng jǐng

( I am the only one to open the front window to your heart )
只有我在你窗前給你敞心扉
zhǐ yǒu wǒ zài nǐ chuāng qián gěi nǐ chang xīn fēi



Marking*
( From heaven fell a Sister Lin )
天上掉下個林妹妹
tiān shàng diào xià gè lín mèi mei

( Fall into my arms, you will not regret it )
掉進我的懷裏你就別後悔
diào jìn wǒ de huái li nǐ jiù bié hòu huǐ

( Whether you like to cry, I don't care )
愛不愛哭我都無所謂
ài bù ài kū wǒ dū wú suǒ wèi

( Even if I'm not called brother Po, you will be charmed )
我不叫寶哥哥你也心醉
wǒ bù jiào bǎo gē gē nǐ yě xīn zuì



( From heaven fell a Sister Lin )
天上掉下個林妹妹
tiān shàng diào xià gè lín mèi mei

( I don't tell stories, but can take you flying, )
我不會講故事但能帶你飛
wǒ bù huì jiǎng gù shì dàn néng dài nǐ fēi

( to the end of the world, doesn't matter where )
天涯海角都無所謂
tiān yá hǎi jiǎo dōu wú suǒ wèi

( Having you is the truth, it's better than a beautiful dream )
有你這真實也比夢美
yǒu nǐ zhè zhēn shí yě bǐ mèng měi



Repeat ALL, return to Marking*



( Having you is the truth, it's better than a beautiful dream )
有你這真實也比夢美
yǒu nǐ zhè zhēn shí yě bǐ mèng měi
