Do you want to learn Chinese through songs? Today we will learn a song about little donkey. Have you heard before? Let's get started.

I have a little donkey that I never ride,
我有一只小毛驴 我从来也不骑,
wǒ  yǒu  yī  zhǐ  xiǎo  máo  lǘ  wǒ  cóng  lái  yě  bù  qí ,

One day I rode to market on a whim,
有一天我心血来潮 骑着去赶集, 
yǒu  yī  tiān  wǒ  xīn  xuè  lái  cháo  qí  zhe  qù  gǎn  jí.

I've got a whip in my hand and I'm feeling pretty good,
我手里拿着小皮鞭 我心里正得意,
wǒ  shǒu  li  ná  zhe  xiǎo  pí  biān  wǒ  xīn  li  zhèng  dé  yì. 

Somehow I fell all over myself in mud,
不知怎么哗拉拉拉 我摔了一身泥,
bù  zhī  zěn  me  huā  lā  lā  lā  wǒ  shuāi  le  yī  shēn  ní.
