LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG -- June, 8, 2005

I re-learned this song on Wed, for I wanted to accompany my son on Saturday and also I would like to visit a teacher who is from Shanghai Music College on Thursday, before my son came to Shenzhen to visit me.

I sang a song for the teacher and showed what I had done with my music for the classical poems. She was very interested in it and she and her husband who is playing piano with me have a dinner after the first meeting... The new teacher would like me to learn something more on how to accompany with piano, to sing and to write a song... So, she has decided to teacher me with 50% price of her students and she would like to introduce me to her professor is in Shanghai Music College to help me...

Are you happy for me? I wish you are. :-)

Main Meaning OF THE SONGLISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG:

Ah, China's Land

You belong to me,
I belong to you,
We are together form morning till night,
no matter I go thousand or ten thousands far away,
I am still in your bosom.
I am a seed in the soil,
to bloom and bear fruit for you.
I am a poplar and a willow to grow up by the road,
to inform the spring 's news every year.
Ah, China's land,
you belong to me,
I belong to you.

You belong to me,
I belong to you,
We will not apart no matter living or dying.
I have a heart as a son and a daughter,
you have the feeling as a kind mother.
I am a laverock that is flying in the blue sky,
to sing for you in the sunglow.
I am a green pine to stand on the high mountain,
to block the wind and rain for you.
Ah, China's land,
you belong to me,
I belong to you.
