Melanie1989 Posted August 30, 2014 at 09:39 PM Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 at 09:39 PM Hi guys, Any chance anybody can identify this song or the artist (pretty please)? http://tunein.com/topic/?TopicId=82980901 i was listening to Chinese radio last night and this song unexpectedly popped up and i fell in love with it. Unfortunately my listening skills aren't good enough to understand enough lyrics so i am stuck! Any help would be hugely appreciated, as ever. EDIT: Sorry, the song starts a few minutes into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceancalligraphy Posted August 30, 2014 at 10:28 PM Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 at 10:28 PM Oh, it is gorgeous! The lyrics to the song is actually a 宋 (Song) dynasty poem, from the poet 陸游, called 卜算子‧詠梅 驛外斷橋邊 寂寞無開主 已是黃昏獨自愁 更著風和雨 無意苦爭春 一任群芳妒 零落成泥輾作塵 只有香如故 Poems were sang, and I really like modern renditions of poems. I can't find the artist though.. but will keep on searching... in the meantime, you might enjoy this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xcxCv06tXk The artist is 鄧麗君 and the song is 但願人長久, the lyrics are derived from another Song dynasty poem,水調歌頭, by 蘇軾. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skylee Posted August 31, 2014 at 12:26 AM Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 at 12:26 AM yst, you really should get Theresa Tang's album 淡淡幽情. It is one of my favourite albums ever. http://www.kuwo.cn/album/1599/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oceancalligraphy Posted August 31, 2014 at 04:32 AM Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 at 04:32 AM I found it! *happy dance* The artist is 李爍 and the song is 香如故. http://music.163.com/#/song?id=263194 香如故 is on the album 好夢留人. It looks like all the songs have lyrics from poems. http://music.163.com/#/album?id=26144 I found the lyrics at http://baike.baidu.com/view/1578580.htm skylee, thanks for the suggestion! I only know a few songs by 鄧麗君, so album names help. I found lyrics to the songs from 淡淡幽情 at http://www.linqi.org/classics/dandanyouqing.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted August 31, 2014 at 07:03 AM Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 at 07:03 AM How romantic. 好夢留人 and 香如故. 夜夜除非好夢留人睡 明月樓高休獨倚 酒入愁腸化作相思淚 (I learnt this from Teresa Tang's 淡淡幽情 album when I was young.) 零落成泥碾作塵 只有香如故 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
