LISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG --  Oct 15, 2006

It is for a long time, I would like to sing the song I Love You, China, but, my vocal music teacher did not agree with me and she thought that I could not master it yet.

Anyway, this week, we started to learn it after I have learned to sing for 3 years and 11 months. Can you imagine? When I was singing it, I did feel comfortable. Yes, a comfortable feeling. It is the first time, I felt that my abdominal cavity, thorax and head cavity have been connected together and become a completed one, my breath was flowing with a so comfortable way... :-)

It is the first time, I did not feel tired after singing for two hours. :-)

Also, I did feel when the breath touches somewhere inside of my head, it is just like a soft hand touching the place that was pain in my head and reduced my headache -- sometimes I feel headache when the work press too much...:-) So, when I feel headache, I try to sing or paint a while, then, I will feel better and easier... :-)

My teacher was so happy for me and she said that she will certainly to have a concert for me... She was also proud of herself to help me to sing with current level at my age... Anyway, she also said that I need much more training in the coming time and she will help me to re-record the songs on the web site in the coming time...

Yes, now, when I hear the songs that I had sung before, I do feel most of them are too bad and need to re-sing and re-record... :-)

MAIN MENAING OF THE SONGLISTEN TO SHIRLEY SINGING THE SONG:

I Love You, China

Lark is flying over the blue sky,
I love you, China.

I love you, China,
I love you, China,
I love your   seedling in the spring,
I love your rich fruits in the autumn.
I love your quality as a green pine,
I love your character as a red plum blossom,
I love your sweet sugar cane in the hometown,
It is just like the latex to moisten my heart.
I love you, China,
I love you, China,
I will give my most beautiful youth to you,
my mother, my China...

I love you, China,
I Love you, China,
I love your blue waves in the South Sea,
I love your white snow in the Norh country,
I Love your brimless forest,
I love your lofty mountains,
I love your gurgled little creeks,
to flow in my dream with their clear waves,

I will give my beautiful youth to you,
my mother, my China...

Ah, ah,

I will give my beautiful youth to you,
my mother, my China...
