Shirley Sung Chinese (Northern) Folk Song--0028: The Clouds in the High Sky

LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG

The constant flooding and mud-rock flows caused by a typhoon have brought about huge losses in the Northern area of the Guangdong province in China. About 200 people have died and thousands and thousands people have been made homeless... Since hearing the sad news, more and more people from Shenzhen, Guangdong, Hong Kong and people from all over the country have made donations to help the people in disaster areas, and in our company, apart from a few lying-in women, everyone has donated money ...

I was so touched by all of this that I thought of a Chinese folk song -- the Clouds in the High Sky and I asked my vocal music teacher to teach me to sing it in my music lesson last night because I feel this is the most suitable song to express the feelings in my heart at this time

This song is from a teleplay "People and People" and was made famous by the well known woman musician Peng Liyuan. Kai Chuan wrote the lyrics and Liu Qing created the music.

I do hope you enjoy my singing and I do hope it will be a little help to you in knowing more about Chinese culture and in improving your listening ability in the Chinese language   

MAIN MENAING OF THE SONGLISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG:

The flowing clouds in the high sky,
bring fine spells and shade.
For the people on the ground,
there are reunions and partings.
We are going south or north,
there is nowhere near or far away,
we are on the same life road.

Do not say the journey is too tiring鐚
one tree can not be a forest.
As long as each one plants one tree,
desert can be covered by green.
Do not complain it is too cold in the world,
As long as each one offers a piece of wood,
A hard stone can become gold...

The flowing clouds in the high sky,
bring the timely rain,
to make thousands and thousands of flowers blossom,
to bring the world spring.
to respect the old people
to love the young children,
to admire the great love,
to help every family in happiness...

Do not say the journey is too tiring鐚
one tree can not be a forest.
As long as each one plants one tree,
desert can be covered by green.
Do not complain it is too cold in the world,
As long as each one offers a piece of wood,
A hard stone can become gold...
