Chinese Art Song--008:Die Lian Hua - Butterfly Loves Flower

LISTEN TO THE TEXTLISTEN TO SHIRLEY TO SING THE POEM

Hi friends, we have learned the Chinese classical poem Die Lian Hua --Butterfly Loves Flower by the former Chinese leader Mr. Mao Ze Dong, but we have not heard the music of its. So, tonight, in my vocal music lesson, except having my 12th and 14th hours to learn his another song of his another -- Qin Yuan Chun-- Snow, I reviewed this song and recorded it and hope you enjoy it. :-)


THE MAIN MEANING OF THE POEM

Butterfly Loves Flower?reply Ms. Li Shuyi

I lost my lovely wife Yang,
You lost your dear husband Liu.
Their souls flew up to the highest place in the heaven,
They asked Wu Gang what does he have in the Moon Palace?
Wu Gang brought out a drink of flowers of cherry bay.
Lonesome Chang E extended her wide and big sleeves,
She danced for their loyal souls in the 10 thousands mile vast sky.
Suddenly, it was reported that the tigers in the human world had all been caught;
Their happy tears poured down like a cloudburst.
