Translation
Bilingual
She was a princess, much lower than people thought
A master of nothing, a mistress of something she thought
ย
She could talk about things that never mattered ever
One person's land miserable life after another
Talked to the French and Germans at will
They never listen
They never will
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
Calling out her name, you'd be surprised at what came
Galloping out of the darkness just like furniture
We'd have forgiven all if it hadn't been for Cardinal Richelieu
And all his courtiers
But the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but they left
Yes, the Chinese envoy was here
The Chinese envoy was here but left
In his broken-hearted pagoda
