Wow! So impressed! I asked Veronica to sing me the mandarin translation Pang Wei (poet from Hangzhou) has done of Xizi She Knows. She did great and so has Pang Wei by the feel of it (though am still waiting on translation back to english)! The flow of lyric is very similar to the english, original version. I was expecting it to be wildly different and bracing myself for it too but all is more than well. Now… Well Saturday actually… I have to sing it all over again (plus tracking and harmonies) in Mandarin! Eeeeek, how hard is that going to be??? VERY!
By the end of it, I’ll have a rather unusual set of sayings and words to draw from when conversing in mandarin but you gotta start somewhere right?
Wish me luck and lots of patience!
Xx
