[05:36.00]My 1997 (English Version)
[05:36.00]My music teacher was my papa,
[05:36.00]20 years he worked down at the local factory.
[05:36.00]Black in those days, mama sang opera,
[05:36.00]Always angry she missed out on the good days.
[05:36.00]As a young girl, I won a prize singing my own way,
[05:36.00]My two little “meimei” wanting to grow up like me.
[05:36.00]At 17, I left my hometown Shenyang,
[05:36.00]Hard but true, my dream wasn’t there, I had to
[05:36.00]All by myself, I moved down to Beijing town,
[05:36.00]I even got into “Dong Fang” led by famous Wang Kun
[05:36.00]But the unknown high school days are the days I miss
[05:36.00]I’m sure my old teachers disagree with this.
[05:36.00]With a voice inside me born for singing,
[05:36.00]My life went by pretty easy.
[05:36.00]I sang my way from Beijing to Shanghai’s Bund
[05:36.00]From Shanghai all the way South, singin’ my song.
[05:36.00]I stayed in Canton for days, oh the days were long,
[05:36.00]Because my man, he was livin’ in Hong Kong.
[05:36.00](What’s this thing they call Hong Kong?)
[05:36.00](What’s so cool about Hong Kong?)
[05:36.00]He can come to Shenyang, but I can’t go to Hong Kong.
[05:36.00](Hong Kong, Hong Kong, what’s it all about)
[05:36.00](Xiao Hou said you should check it out.)
[05:36.00](Hong Kong, Hong Kong, what’s it all about?)
[05:36.00](Hear it’s old Cui’s guaranteed sellout.)
[05:36.00]Take me to that wonderful world,
[05:36.00]Give a passport to this girl
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! What’s so cool about Lan Kwai Fong?
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! So I can make it to Hong Kong.
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! Let me sing at the Clolsseum
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! Go to the late show with him
[05:36.00]97 get here sooner! What’s it like in Lan Kwai Fong?
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! So I can make it to Hong Kong.
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! Let me sing at the Colosseum.
[05:36.00]Come on 1997! Dancing with him all night long.
