In my life I've made a lot of mistakes
but this isn't one of them
Someone once told me: "Chinese is too hard, better study Elvish instead"
In class I don't understand anything
but I keep trying and I tell myself...
It's the Chinese that counts
It's characters are like hieroglyphics
A contortionist's language
And it's hard, indistinguishable tones
But I won't give up, I will always insist
That it's the Chinese that counts
If Matteo Ricci learned it, I can as well
Someone once saw me yelling to the heavens that I couldn't take it anymore
But I won't be discouraged These struggles can't bring me down
People will say that I was crying on my books
But you gotta know that I was actually crying in Chinese
It's the Chinese that counts
It's a worthy challenge
To open the doors
To a future that can start today
If I won't give up, I will always insist
That it's the Chinese that counts
It seems like a hard language, but it's not
No, no, no
No to the ones who regret their choices, No to those who condemn the East
No, no, no
It's the Chinese that counts
It's characters are like hieroglyphics
A contortionist's language
And it's hard, indistinguishable tones
But I won't give up, I will always insist
That it's the Chinese that counts
If Matteo Ricci learned it, I can as well
