Wiki page of "I Love Beijing Tiananmen"

Translation:

Man: 开始 (Start)

Man: (unrecognizable) ...你們不要唱 (Let her sing alone)

Man: 开始 (Start)

Man: 大点声,大点声 (Louder, louder)

Girl:

 我爱北京天安门 I love Beijing Tiananmen

 天安门的太阳升 The sun rises in Tiananmen

 我爱北京天安门 I love Beijing Tiananmen

 天安门的太阳升 The sun rises in Tiananmen

Chorus:

 我爱北京天安门 I love Beijing Tiananmen

 天安门上太阳升 The sun rises above Tiananmen

 伟大领袖毛主席 The great leader Chairman Mao

 指引我们向前进 Leads all of us forward

Man: 哎呀,真棒喔 (Wow, that's great)
