Beijing Welcomes You bĕi jīng huān yíng nǐ (北京欢迎你)

Do you know how to sing this song "北京欢迎你 bĕi jīng huān yíng nǐ / Beijing Welcomes You" made famous by the Beijing Olympics 2008?

This karaoke video has the song lyrics written in pin yin (without accents) and an English translation for you to sing along to: 

Whenever you enter a shop in China, you'd be greeted with:

"欢 迎 光 临 huān yíng guāng lín", which literally means, "Welcome, the light has arrived."

It took me a LONGGGGGG time to catch the last two words guāng lín 光 临 because they don't sound like anything I've ever heard. Then again, I don't speak Mandarin.

Now that I know a classic Chinese poem - Jìng yè sī (静夜思) by Lǐ Bái (李白), the words "guāng lín" 光 临 has some meaning.

Here's the original music video (with Korean translations):

 
The only equivalent I can find in the English language is that famous song by the Beatles: "Here Comes The Sun" where a person's arrival brings them as much joy as the arrival of the bright and warm sun shining after a cold, long winter.

"Here comes the sun, and I say
It's all right"

Get it? :D
