[verse]
Sandalwood bracelets on my wrists
As we explore the towered streets
It’s mysteries all in our midst
In a land of culture so rich and deep
Red symbols on the doors
Of dragons, tigers and boars
Taking forbidden city tours
The ancient history endures
[Chorus]
My time in China
It was so magical
It’s mysteries unwinded
Into something ecstatic and pure
Revealing
It’s treasures and wonders
So appealing
I’m feeling
Just mesmerized
[Verse]
Together we hop on the bullet train
Where will we go now?
The myriad of options are just insane
We could go low down
Into crowded city streets
shops and hotels
Restaurants with all best eats
Like Hong Kong burgers
And pickled cabbage
But let’s go further
In this year of the rabbit
[Chorus]
My time in China
It was so magical
It’s mysteries unwinded
Into something ecstatic and pure
Revealing
It’s treasures and wonders
So appealing
I’m feeling
Just mesmerized
[verse]
The night lights of the broad skyline
Colors so bright, electric and inviting
Such shine, so exciting
Invigorating like lightening
It’s so magical
The music was so good and vibrating
Jay Chou, Jolin Tsai and JJ Lin
Just like it should be
You see, it seems
This is the land of enchanted dreams
[solo]
[Chorus]
My time in China
It was so magical
It’s mysteries unwinded
Into something ecstatic and pure
Revealing
It’s treasures and wonders
So appealing
I’m feeling
Just mesmerized
[verse]
Sandalwood bracelets on my wrists
As we explore the towered streets
It’s mysteries all in our midst
In a land of culture so rich and deep
Red symbols on the doors
Of dragons, tigers and boars
Taking forbidden city tours
The ancient history endures
[bowed stringed Erhu solo here]
[Chorus]
My time in China
It was so magical
It’s mysteries unwinded
Into something ecstatic and pure
Revealing
It’s treasures and wonders
So appealing
I’m feeling
Just mesmerized
[verse]
Red symbols on the doors
Of dragons, tigers and boars
Taking forbidden city tours
The ancient history endures
