Moon Represents My Heart Lyrics 月亮代表我的心 Chinese Song
To celebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, my children and I are learning how to sing The Moon Represents My Heart 月亮代表我的心. If you’d like to learn this classic Chinese song, I’ve typed up printable lyrics in simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese.
I’ve also included Pinyin, Zhuyin, and English translations plus a video to support your learning journey.
Since the 1970s, this romantic song has been popular in Taiwan and Chinese thanks to pop singer Teresa Teng.
Even though my kids giggle at some of the sentimental stanzas, the melody is sweet and catchy. In this song, the Mandarin phrases are simple and fairly easy to learn with my bilingual children.
Just a warning that you might get the lyrics of this Chinese moon song stuck in your head!

Please note that translating songs from Chinese to English is an art rather than a science! The lyrics definitely sound more poetic in the original Chinese version.
月亮代表我的心 The Moon Represents My Heart Music Video
I love this video from YoYo Chinese! The Chinese teacher plays the keyboard while singing the beautiful song. She breaks down the song lyrics into small parts and explains translations so new Chinese words are not so overwhelming.
As a bonus silly surprise, her pet jumps on her keyboard during the music lesson. Thanks to the fluffy pet for making the Chinese class more interesting for kids!
