Dali\'s Sunny Bar

In Dali there is a foreigners’ street
that has been called the Switzerland of the Orient
This street has twenty odd bars
Among them the Sunny Bar is famous both here and abroad
It has two things
that make foreigners lick their lips
One is ice-cream
I’ve heard that Sunny’s boss
is a woman (good)
and is from my hometown (very good)
If I go to Dali and don’t go to the Sunny Bar then
I’m fucking crazy
Just like if you went to Chengdu and didn’t go to the Eraser Bar then
You’re an idiot

大理有一个阳光酒吧

大理有一个阳光酒吧

大理有一条洋人街
被称为东方的瑞士
这条街有二十多家酒吧
其中阳光酒吧闻名中外
它有两样东西
让外国人咂舌
有一样是冰淇淋
听说阳光酒吧的老板
是个女的(好)
而且还是我的同乡(很好)
如果我到大理不到阳光酒吧
我他马不是人
就像你到成都不到橡皮酒吧
你就是个傻瓜
