Cate: Chinese Word of the Day

– Wa2 – Doll

– Wa2 Wa5 – Baby, Doll

Another of the songs Jenny sometimes randomly sings is 泥娃娃 – Ni3 Wa2 Wa5 – Clay Doll. I’ve always found the tune and lyrics (once she told me what they meant) to be somehow sad. Here are the lyrics:

Chinese:

泥娃娃 泥娃娃 一個泥娃娃
她有那眉毛 也有那眼睛
眼睛不會眨

泥娃娃 泥娃娃 一個泥娃娃
她有那鼻子 也有那嘴巴
嘴巴不說話

她是個假娃娃 不是個真娃娃
她沒有親愛的爸爸 也沒有媽媽

泥娃娃 泥娃娃 一個泥娃娃
我作她爸爸 我作她媽媽
永遠愛著她

And translated to English:

Clay doll, clay doll, a clay doll
She has eyebrows, and eyes
The eyes cannot wink

Clay doll, clay doll, a clay doll
She has a nose, and a mouth
The mouth cannot speak

She is a fake doll, she is not a real baby
She has no loving Papa, and no Mama

Clay doll, clay doll, a clay doll
I’ll be her Papa, I’ll be her Mama
And love her forever

And here’s an MP3 of the song.
