Yao Lan Chi'u (China)
From the singing of Yeh Yung-Ching

Mei mei pi jiuan liao
yean jiing shiao
yean jiing shiao,
yao shuei jian
mama tzuo tzai yao lan bian
ba er yao ah yao
yao yao wo de hao bao bao
an an wen wen shuei yi jian
jin tian shuei de hao
ming tian chi de tsao
hua yuan li mian
jie ge da pu tou.
