Muqin Lyrics

Soundtrack Album: Thoroughly Modern Millie

Muqin Text

MRS. MEERS:
Everything seems lovely
When you start to roam
The birds are singing
The day that you stray
But wait until you are further away
Things won't be so lovely
When you're all alone
Here's what you'll keep saying
When you're far from home

(MRS. MEERS dangles a photograph in front of CHING HO and BUN FOO: it's their mother.)

BUN FOO:
Muqin (Mammy)

MRS. MEERS:
That's right

CHING HO:
Muqin (Mammy)

MRS. MEERS:
Now you're talking

BUN FOO:
Taiyang zhao dong fang (The sun shines east)

CHING HO:
Taiyang zhao xi fang (The sun shines west)

MRS. MEERS:
But you know where "taiyang zhao" best

BUN FOO:
Zhao dao, zhao dao muqin (On Mammy)
Ta Shenshang

CHING HO:
Zhao wo, zhao wo muqin (My Mammy)
Ta shenshang

BOTH:
Wode xin yongyuan wang jiaxiang
(My heart strings are tangled around Siam-y)

CHING HO:
Wo lailiao. Buren yao nin duo dengdai
(I'm coming. Sorry that I made you wait.)

MRS. MEERS:
Take her home!

BUN FOO:
Wo lailiao. Wanle kongpa nin buzai
(I'm coming. I hope and pray I'm not too late.)

MRS. MEERS:
It's never too late for

ALL THREE:
Mammy, Mammy

CHING HO and BUN FOO:
Wo yuen zou baiwan li kan ni xiaomimi
(We'd walk a million miles for one of those smiles.)

ALL THREE:
My Mammy

CHING HO:
Wo yuen zou baiwan li kan ni xiaomimi
(We'd walk a million miles for one of those smiles.)

BUN FOO:
Wo yibei fanzui yebu haipa
(We'd lead a life of crime to buy us some time.)

MRS. MEERS:
They'll work for Mrs. Meers
The rest of their years!

ALL THREE:
My Mammy!
