I'm snowing heavily in the sunny south. What does this sentence mean?

The sun is shining in the south, but lovers in the south imagine that the weather in the other half of the north should be snowy.

This is the lyrics of the song "South Mountain South": "You are snowing heavily in the sunny south, and I am as cold as spring in the north".

The whole lyric means that the sun is shining in the south, but lovers in the south imagine that the weather in the other half of the north should be snowy. Similarly, in the cold night in the north, lovers can't sleep and fantasize about the south, where it should still be like spring all the year round. By imagining each other, they euphemistically expressed their endless yearning for each other.

Creation background of Nan Shannan: The tune of this song comes from a melody that Ma Di hummed casually during his daily practice. After Ma Di filled in the words that fit this tune, it became the southern mountain he is hearing now.

Appreciation of Song Dynasty:

As one of Ma Di's representative works, Nan Shannan is a blend of poetic talent and melodic talent, with a sense of poetic vicissitudes. Words and expressions are touched by notes and instrumental music, and they sing a feeling of sadness, frustration and confusion.

The tune is composed of guitar, piano and violin. Using the samples in Four Seasons Song and the children's voice at the end of the song, the song is made into flashback memories and fixed old photos.
