小星星 (Twinkle Twinkle Little Star)


Performed by Anonymous Chinese Americans.
Recorded October 3, 2026 in New Haven, Connecticut.

This Chinese translation of the classic English-language nursery rhyme maintains the same subject matter without being an exact translation.

一闪一闪亮晶晶
满天都是小星星
挂在天空放光明
好象许多小眼睛
Twinkle twinkle, sparkling stars
The sky is full of little stars
Shining up in the sky
Like heaven's many little eyes
