Listen to Shirley Singing the Song in Chinese
Since ancient times, Russia and China have enjoyed a good relationship. With the opening and reform of China, more and more foreign songs have become popular here. The Russian songs that were popular in 50's have become more popular again and are welcomed.
This Saturday I learned to sing a Russian song, which I have known since I was very young, in English and in Chinese. I enjoy its tone and its imagery.
It is a pity that I cannot read and sing it in Russian, but if you know the song or if you are Russian or have a friend who is, you are welcome to tell me if my English version of the song conveys its exact meaning. :-)
I really hope that my singing in Chinese is a little help to you in improving your Chinese listening level.
MAIN MEANING OF THE SONGThere is a long and narrow winding pathway,
which leads to a misty place far away.
Now along this long and narrow pathway,
I’ll follow my sweetheart to the front.
His footprints have been covered by the snow,
neither footsteps nor singing is heard.
In this spacious open country of silvery white,
only a lonely pathway lies.
More and more I worry about him,
in dreams I see him on the battlefield.
How I wish I could become a little bird,
and fly straight away to his side.
There is a long and narrow winding pathway,
which leads to a misty place far away.
My dear pathway please takes me to the front,
so that I can join my sweet heart...
