The Little Golden Sister
Nursery Rhyme
Nursery Rhyme
(Chinese)
(English)
My little golden sister
Rides a golden horse slow,
And we'll use a golden whip
If the horse doesn't go.
A little gold fish
In a gold bowl we see,
And a gold-colored bird
On a gold-blossomed tree.
A gold-plated god
In a gold temple stands,
With a gold-plated baby
In his gold-plated hands.

小金妲骑金马
金马不走金鞭打
琉璃井金虾蟆
梧桐树金老鹳
开了庙门金菩萨
金手带着个金娃娃
