My friend is a mountain child
With a little body
And a white face
He comes to school in his traditional dress.
My friend is a good hearted child
He regularly brings me carrots
Each time we meet, he always says true words,
People find him very nice when they hear him talk.
Refrain
I bring you carrots
I want you to eat them
They give vitamins
No need to eat expensive things.
I bring you carrots
I want your body to be strong
Your cheeks are pink,
Pink like the color of carrots.
Lah lun da lun lah
Lun lun lun lun lah lun lah lun lah
At my school, there's a good atmosphere,
we gently chat
We play,
The air is cool,
We need no fan.
My friend is a mountain child
With a little body
The teacher seems to be harsh on him
But we stay fond of each other.
Refrain
I bring you carrots
I want you to eat them
They give vitamins
No need to eat expensive things.
I bring you carrots
I want your body to be strong
Your cheeks are pink,
Pink like the color of carrots.
Lah lun da lun lah
Lun lun lun lun lah lun lah lun lah.
