 LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG
 Tonight, I learned a new Chinese art song in my vocal music lesson. This is a song that says Happy Birthday to China. Even though today is not the National Day of China -- it is on Oct 1, I enjoyed its lyrics and the tone, so, I asked my vocal teacher to accompany for me and direct me to sing and to record it. :-)
I did enjoy the procession to learn and to correct my singing by the directions of my vocal music teacher. And I do feel a little bit pity the my teacher will not teach me soon ? for she will go to Beijing to continue her vocal music studying in the near future in the Center Music College in Beijing, to make her dream to be true. Anyway, I am happy for her, so, tonight, I gave her some financial support and hoped she go there by airplane instead of by train as I do every time when she would go somewhere far away…
I do hope that my vocal music teacher will make more achievement on her career…
I do hope that my song and the lyrics is a little bit help to you to know more about Chinese culture and to bring you a big smile. :-)
MAIN MENAING OF THE SONGLISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG:
Today is your birthday, my China.
I made a group of birds of peace fly in the morning,
they are taking a piece of olive leaves for you,
they are flying over the high and steep mountains...
We are blessing your birthday, my China,
Wish you have no any hardship and be peaceful forever.
We are blessing your birthday, my China,
This is the song in our hearts as your sons and daughters...
Today is your birthday, my China,
I made a group of birds of peace fly in the morning,
To bring you our missing from the far away place,
the birds of peace are flying over the ocean in the sky...
We are blessing your birthday, my China,
Wish your moon is always round,
your sons and daughters are happy forever...
Today is your birthday, my China.
I made a group of birds of peace fly in the morning,
they are taking a golden ear of wheat for you,
the birds are flying through the wind and rain...
We are blessing your birthday, my China,
Wish you fly in the wind and get the gain from the rain.
We are blessing your birthday, my China,
This is the song in the hearts of your sons and daughters...
