Flowers in a basket are fragrant
Listen to me sing a little
Sing for a little
Come to 1Nanniwan
Nanniwan is a nice place
Nice place
Nanniwan in years gone by
Was a barren mountain with no human beings
Nanniwan today
Is different from the past
Nanniwan today
Is different from the past
And no longer looks like it did
It's the best 2Jiangnan in north 3Shaanxi
Nice place and beautiful scenery
Nice place and beautiful scenery
Crops everywhere
Cattle and sheep all around
1 Nanniwan is literally translated South Muddy Bay.
