 LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SING THE SONG
 As soon as I touched this Chinese popular song, I enjoyed it. As a love song, I enjoy its strong Chinese folk style; also, I like its way to express a positive and lovely feeling of via its alive lyrics... :-)
So, I learned to sing it in tonight's vocal music lesson and hope you enjoy it.
Also, I would like to let you know that in many places in China, girls and women call their man colleagues, man friend, boyfriends, lovers, even husbands "Brothers" or what what Brothers. So, if a Chinese girl calls you as "Brother", you have to make sure her true meaning, to make you as her colleague, a common friend, a friendly "Brother" or a "Lover", to avoid making a misunderstanding... :-)
In Chinese culture, it is not easy to speak "Love" directly between people, even lovers or husband and wife. And you can not see any word of love in the lyrics below as well. Anyway, if you do understand Chinese culture, then, you can feel a strong love feeling in the girl's heart to her 鈥淏rother鈥�.
Most of Chinese express their feelings with an indirect/ euphemistic style.
MAIN MEANING OF THE SONGLISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG:
The moon is going,
I am going, too.
I am sending my brother to the entrance of the village.
Brother will be a soldier in the frontier,
It is hard to say 鈥淏ye鈥� to him
even though we have gone out of 10 miles already,
A 鈥� a 鈥� a 鈥�
Clouds is following the moon over the sky,
Wind is blowing the willow on the land,
I wish the moon would stop for a while,
to give both of us more time to talk...
 The moon is going,
I am going, too.
I am sending my brother to the bridge.
My brother is a good young boy,
he will show his talent in the frontier,
A, a, a ...
wind is blowing gently in the evening,
river is flowing quietly.
Brother, brother, remember,
to send your good news to me as soon as possible...
