Cheer: After 17

Hi all.

Today my post hast nothing to do with Taiwanese dramas. What follows is a very cheerful song by Cheer (pun not intended), called "After 17". Following you'll find the lyrics (Chinese and pinyin), the translation, the tabs, and more. I think it's a very good song for Chinese learners.

..

一步一步走过昨天我的孩子气
yíbù yíbù zǒuguò zuótiān wǒ de háiziqì
我的孩子气给我勇气…
wǒ de háiziqì gěi wǒ yǒngqì …
每天每天电视里贩卖新的玩具
měitiān měitiān diànshì lǐ fànmài xīn de wánjù
我的玩具是我的秘密
wǒ de wánjù shì wǒ de mìmì

自从那一天起我自己做决定
zìcōng nā yī tiān qǐ wǒ zìjǐ zuò juédìng
自从那一天起不轻易接受谁的邀请
zìcōng nā yī tiān qǐ bù qīngyì jiēshòu shéi de yāoqǐng
自从那一天起听我说的道理
zìcōng nā yī tiān qǐ tīng wǒ shuō de dàolǐ
when i am after 17…

Step by step I'm leaving behind my childhood
My childhood gives me courage
Day after day the TV tries to sell new toys
My toys are my secrets
Since I woke up that day I make decissions myself
Since I woke up that day accepting invitations is not that easy
Since I wope up that day my reasons are heard
when i am after 17…

Step by step I'm leaving behind my childhood
(my childhood protects me)
Day after day the TV tries to sell me toys
My toy is myself
Since that day I decide for myself
Since that day I don't care what others might think
Since that day my reasons are heard

when i am after 17…
