You meant a transliteration?

Mandarin: ni3 shi4 wo3 di4 nu3 ren2
Cantonese: nei5 si6 ngo5 di1 neui5 yan4

I used an online dictionary so, anyone, feel free to correct me.

hey,

for once my vocubulary is a stumbling block. Normally one can look up the Cantonese title of a song and get it in normal lettering, no numbers or signs.

Why the original question matters you might ask? Well, for my reviews i tend to want as complete awards- and nominations info as possible so...

So in your format you'd use something like:

Best Original Song Nei Si Ngo Di Neui Yan (You Are My Woman)

I suppose.

In basic Mandarin Pinyin is would be "Ni Shi Wode Nuren". "Wode" forms a word in this case, right? Hmm. Or "Wodi", in songs the "de" ends up mostly (always?) as "di", because "it sounds better". I was told that, maybe the real explanation was too complicated or something...
