Păo mă liūliū de shān shàng
yī duŏ liūliū de yún yo
Duānduān liūliū de zhào zài
Kāngdìng liūliū de chéng yo
Yuèliàng wānwān
Kāngdìng liūliū de chéng yo
Lĭ jiā liūliū de dàjiĕ

Zhāng jiā liūliū de dàgē
kàn shàng liūliū de tā yo
Yuèliàng wānwān
kàn shàng liūliū de tā yo
Soho moon is shining
through the red paper lanterns
BT Tower-ing higher
London streets with the mandem
Yuèliàng wānwān
through the red paper lanterns
Ayi buying her spices
Lotus root in my handbag
Boba tea with the gyaldem
Canto banter with bossman
Yuèliàng wānwān
through the red paper lanterns
Dosa bao in the evening
Congee fresh in the morning
Taiyaki with my loved one
Lychee cocktails are calling
Yuèliàng wānwān
peeping under the awning
Yuèliàng wānwān
peeping under the awning
Yuèliàng wānwān
London liūliū de chéng yo
