海韵↗ (Sea Rhythm) is a beautiful song sung by Teresa Deng↗. (dated around 1970s i think)
Title: 海韵 (电影《海韵》(1974) 插曲) Lyrics: 庄奴 Music: 古月 Singer: 邓丽君 (Teresa Deng) (English translation by Xah Lee)
女郎 你为什么 独自徘徊在海滩 女郎 难道不怕 大海就要起风浪 啊 不是海浪 是我美丽的衣裳飘荡 纵然天边有黑雾 也要象那海鸥飞翔 女郎 我是多么 希望围绕你身旁 女郎 和你去看大海 去看那风浪 |
Girl, why do you wander alone on the beach? Girl, aren't you afraid the impinging billow of the sea? ahhh, 'tis not the billow it is my beautiful dress — rolling and if dark clouds loom one must look up to the seagulls — soaring Girl, how i dearly yearn to be around you Girl, to watch the ocean with you; to watch the storms |
When asked if she is afraid of the impinging billow, hinting the monstrocity and force of nature, the girl brushed away by saying it's her dress waving. These lines showcase the power and charm of a young human nubile female.
