I am from Pakistan and have settled in Toronto, Canada ... a Chinese colleague from the research lab I work in gave me some 10 or 15 beautiful Meng Tingwei songs ... I don't know any Chinese but the music and the way Meng renders the words touched me immediately and I have copied these songs into my MP3 player and listened to them countless times ... my heart sings with Meng Tingwei .... beautiful and soothing ...
very glad some foreign friends love chinese songs. yeah, there were some great singers came out in 1980s and 1990s. you can ask your chinses collegues to recommand some others
tried to translate the lyrics into English, hope it helps: come to Taipei to watch the rain in the winter don't cry in a foreign land come to Taipei to watch the rain in the winter dreams are the only luggage come back quietly don't wake up memories like I have never been away if meet, hold every word back, in the bottom of your heart nobody knows you better than me the sky is still the sky the rain is still the rain but you are not under my umbrella anymore I am still me you are still you there is just one more winter between us come to Taipei to watch the rain in the winter don't cry in a foreign land come to Taipei to watch the rain in the winter perhaps we will meet the street is empty but the heart is crowded memories are filled in every corner don't run away if you see me I will just pass you by the sky is still the sky the rain is still the rain but the city I am not familiar with anymore I am still me you are still you there is just one more winter between us
Classic breakup song, lyrics is full of sadness and heartaches.... "The streets are empty but my heart is crowded with mixed feelings. Every corner of the street brings back memories. Even if we were to meet, there's no need to hide for I would be just passing through." *teardrop*
