Thank you Celia, you have made it possible for the non-Chinese speaking
readers of Ifgogog to appreciate what this lovely song is all about. Most timely to lend the extra meaning to China's greatest sporting event in it's history!

“北京欢迎你”最好翻译成：“Welcome to Beijing.”最普遍的用法
总感觉“You are welcome to Beijing.”有点别扭（个人觉得这句翻译成“来北京不必客气”更合适）
个人观点，欢迎讨论

Es preciosas la canción, pareciera sencilla e imponentemente bella. Me gustaria poder cantar la canción en chino, pero obvio no entiendo nada de la simbología... donde puedo encontrar la letra escrita con nuestro sistema abecedario y saber lo que digo?. ya tengola traducción pero quiero cantarla bien.
muchas gracias.
