"Up to West Tower Alone" sung by Teresa Teng, 2:46 min.
Watch it in Vimeo.
李煜 (937-978)
無言獨上西樓 月如鉤
寂寞梧桐 深院鎖清秋
剪不斷 理還亂 是離愁
別有一番滋味在心頭
English translation:
Li Yu (937-978)
Quietly, I went up to the west tower alone.
The moon was in crescent shape.
The Wutong trees were lonely
Deep inside the courtyard in clear autumn.
That could not be severed by cutting
And more raveled by trying to disentangle
Was the sorrow of separation.
It remained a strange feeling in my heart

甜蜜蜜 你笑得甜蜜蜜
好像花兒開在春風裡 開在春風裡
＊在那裡 在那裡見過你
你的笑容這樣熟悉
我一時想不起 啊 在夢裡
＃夢裡夢裡見過你 甜蜜笑得多甜蜜
是你是你夢見的就是你
English translation:
Sweet honey, your smile is as sweet as honey.
It is like flowers blooming in the spring breeze,
blooming in the spring breeze.
Where? Where did I see you?
Your smiling face is such familiar.
For a while, I do not remember.
Ah, in my dream.
In my dream, in my dream, I saw you.
Very sweet, your smile is very sweet.
It is you, it is you, you were in my dream.

這綠島像一隻船 在月夜裡搖呀搖
姑娘呀妳也在我的 心海裏飄呀飄…
讓我的歌聲隨那微風 吹開了你的窗簾
讓我的衷情隨那流水 不斷的向妳傾訴…
椰子樹的長影 掩不住我的情意
明媚的月光 更照亮了我的心…
這綠島的夜已經 這樣沉靜
姑娘呀妳為什麼 還是默默無語
English translation:
This green island is like a boat,
floating in the moonlight.
My darling, you too
are floating in the sea of my heart.
Let the sound of my song follow the breeze,
blowing open the curtain of your window.
Let my love follow the flowing water,
endlessly pouring out its feelings for you.
The long shadows of the palm trees
cannot conceal my love;
the bright beauty of the moonlight
casts its brilliance into my heart.
This green island night is so calm and serene —
my darling, why are you silent, saying nothing?

李香蘭 的 夜來香
The original recording is very old with noise. I used the re-engineered clean-up one given by Alice. "Fragrance of the Night" sung by Li Xiang Lan (Yoshiko Yamaguchi 山口淑子) who is the first Chinese popular singer using western technique. The blue sky and blue ocean in the video complement the night time scene in the song, 3:01 min.

夜來香(在日本) 李香蘭 山口淑子:
那南風吹來清涼 那夜鶯啼聲凄愴(輕唱)
月下的花兒都入夢 只有那夜來香
吐露著芬芳
我愛這夜色茫茫 也愛著夜鶯歌唱
更愛那花一般的夢 擁抱著夜來香
吻著夜來香
夜來香 我為你歌唱
夜來香 我為你思量
啊... 我為你歌唱 我為你思量
夜來香 夜來香 ~~
English translation:
That southern breeze is cool and refreshing,
That nightingale is singing quietly.
Flowers under the moon are in dreams,
Only that fragrance of the night
Revealing its sweet scent.
I love this vast darkness of the night,
also love the nightingale’s singing,
further love those flower's dreams.
Embracing the fragrance of the night,
Kissing the fragrance of the night,
Fragrance of the night, I sing for you
Fragrance of the night, I think of you
Ah... I sing for you, I think of you
Fragrance of the night, fragrance of the night ~~

遇洛神 - 新洛神賦
The "Luo River Goddess Encounter" poems were mixed with "Lovers" sung by Kathleen Battle. The beginning picture in video is 洛神花.
[遇洛神] by George Ku
那日子建遇美人, 美人容顏似鮮花.
今日我又遇美人, 美人艷色賽朝霞.
兩日悠悠隔千載, 美人風華依舊在.
莫非真有嫦娥藥, 抑或仙女下凡來?
心有所疑問美人, 美人對我娓娓道:
胭脂雖遮三分老, 情愛卻添七分嬌.
自從子建賦洛神, 夜夜賦聲耳旁繞.
若要青春能長久, 枕邊細語不可少.
Below is my translated English version:
[Luo River Goddess Encounter]
On that ancient day, that ancient poet met her,
And her face shines like fresh flower.
Today I met her again, she is like morning sun.
It has been a thousand years, her beauty remains.
Is that because of the longevity medicine?
Or she is really a Goddess from heaven.
My doubt let me to inquire her.
She told me slowly:
“Although the make-up makes me less old,
My feel of love makes me much younger”.
Since that ancient poem was written,
It was recited every night around my ears.
I found that fountain of youth
From my love whispering next to my pillow”.
