木瓜歌 Papaya Song

木瓜樹   木瓜果   木瓜長得像人頭       

樹下小狗在看守 不要怕 沒人偷 我們家木瓜多

木瓜樹   木瓜高   木瓜成熟味道好     

弟弟伸手向我要 手太短 接不到 長竹竿才能到

mù guā shù   mù guā guǒ   mù guā zhǎng de xiàng rén tóu  

shù xià xiǎo gǒu zài kān shǒu    bú yào pà   méi rén tōu   wǒ men jiā mù guā duō 

mù guā shù   mù guā gāo   mù guā chéng shóu wèi dào hào 

dì di shēn shǒu xiàng wǒ yào   shǒu tài duǎn   jiē bú dào   zhǎng zhú gān cái néng dào 

 Papaya trees, papaya fruits. Papayas grow like a human head.                

There is a small dog guarding the papayas under the tree.

Do not be afraid, because no one will steal it. We have many papayas.

Papaya trees, papayas high. Ripe papaya tastes good.

Little boy reaches out his hand. But his hand is too short to be able to get a papaya. 

Only a long bamboo pole can get to those papayas.
