Shi Shang Zhi You Ma Ma Hao

Since Mother's Day is coming, I want to share with you a very popular song in Mandarin. It's called 'Shi Shang Zhi You Ma Ma Hao' (Only Mothers are great in the World). This song can be heard during Mother's Day. I remember I used to hear this song during my childhood days. But I didn't sing it to my mom, since I don't know the lyrics back then. Ha ha!
Anyways, here is a video of the song, sung by a popular star in Malaysia, Crystal Ong. If you remember, she used to be in this girl group called M Girls, alongside with Queenzy and Angeline. This is when she was very young. I used to have her cassettes before. Enjoy!

Below are the lyrics and translation, for those who don't know Mandarin.

世上只有媽媽好
In the World only mothers are great.
有媽的孩子像個寶
A child who has a mother is like a gem
投進媽媽的懷抱 幸福享不了
In her embrace, extremely fortunate.

沒有媽媽最苦惱
Without a mother is bitterness to the extreme.
沒媽的孩子像根草
A motherless child is like a string of grass,
離開媽媽的懷抱 幸福那裡找
Away from a mother's embrace, luckless.

世上只有媽媽好
In the World only mothers are great.
有媽的孩子不知道
A child who has a mother does not know.
要是他知道
If he were to know,
夢裡也會笑
He would even smile in his dream.
