Lyrics: Qiong Yao
Music: Lin Jiaqing
Original song: Gao Lingfeng, Jiang Lei.
The green grass is pale and foggy.
There is a beautiful woman by the water.
I want to swim upstream and snuggle up to her.
But there are dangerous beaches ahead, and the road is long and long.
I want to go downstream and find her direction.
I only vaguely saw that she seemed to be in the water.
The green grass is getting longer and the white fog is blurred.
There is a beautiful woman who lives by the water.
I want to go upstream and talk to her softly.
Helpless, there are dangerous beaches ahead and the road is tortuous.
I want to go downstream to find her trace.
I only saw her standing vaguely in the water.
The green grass is pale and foggy.
There is a beautiful woman by the water.
Extended data:
On the Water Side was written by Qiong Yao and composed by Lin Jiaqing. This song was written by Qiong Yao on 1975 for her film On the Water Side. The original singers were Gao Lingfeng and Jiang Lei. 1980, Teresa Teng covered this song and included it in the album "On the Water Side" of the same name. Since then, On the Water Side has been popular all over the country.
1988, Qiong Yao released a TV version of On the Water, which was sung by Li Bihua as an episode of a TV series. Before and after it, this song has also been covered by many singers several times.
Appreciation of Song Dynasty:
The melody of the song is melodious, and Teresa Teng's singing is even more feminine. The perfect combination of Teresa Teng's timbre and lyrics embodies the flowing artistic conception created in the lyrics.
Music style:
Although "On Water" was inspired by China's earliest poetry anthology "The Book of Songs", the tune did not use the traditional five tones of China, which added mysterious exotic colors to the work and better reflected the theme of "softness".
