Mandarin Songs from Bill Cort

Lv dao xiao ye qu Green Island Serenade Lyrics

Vienna Teng with the Chinese character only (No Pinyin, No English):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHQaUCsq0YM
(Warning: Vienna Teng's version is hard to follow for Mandarin-learners because Vienna softly enunciates and plays around with the slowness and quickness of the syllables.)

Zhè lǜ dǎo xiàng yī zhī chuán 这绿岛像一只船 This green island is like a boat

Zài yuè yèlǐ yáo a yáo 在月夜里摇啊摇 Shake and shake in the moonlight night

Gūniáng yō nǐ yě zài wǒ 姑娘哟你也在我 Girl,oh,you are me

De xīn hǎilǐ piāo ya piāo 的心海里飘呀飘 Heart floating in the sea floating

Ràng wǒ de gēshēng suí nà wéifēng    让我的歌声随那微风

Let my song follow the breeze

Chuī kāile nǐ de chuānglián  吹开了你的窗帘 Blown your curtains

Ràng wǒ de zhōngqíng suí nà liúshuǐ  让我的衷情随那流水

Let my heart go with that water

Bùduàn de xiàng nǐ qīngsù 不断的向你倾诉         Keep telling you



The section below is sung twice:

Yē zǐ shù de cháng yǐng        椰子树的长影 Long shadow of coconut trees

Yǎn bù zhù wǒ de qíngyì 掩不住我的情意 Can not hide my feelings

Míngmèi de yuèguāng   明媚的月光 Bright moonlight

Gèng zhào liàngle wǒ de xīn 更照亮了我的心 More illuminate my heart

Zhè lǜ dǎo de yè             这绿岛的夜       This is Green Island's night

Yǐjīng zhèyàng chénjìng  已经这样沉静 Already so quiet

Gūniáng yō nǐ wèishéme hái 姑娘哟你为什么还 Why did you oh girl?

Shì mòmò wúyǔ             是默默无语      Is silent

Sorry. Lyrics error: 這綠島像一隻船 在月夜裡搖呀搖 姑娘呀你也在我的心海裡飄呀飄 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　不斷的向你傾訴 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　已經這樣沈靜 姑娘喲你為什麼 還是默默無語 Repeat Once

Mandarin Lyrics 這綠島像一隻船 在月夜裡搖呀搖 姑娘喲妳也在我的 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 不斷地向妳傾訴 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 姑娘喲妳為什麼 還是默默無語 English Translation ( which appears at several websites – thank you) This green island, is like a boat meandering through the moonlight. Darling, you are floating in the ocean of my heart. Let the melody of my song follow the breeze, blowing through your curtains. Let my love go with the flowing water, serenading you. The coconut tree's long shadow cannot hide my gentle love. The clear bright moonlight brightens my heart. This green island night appears so peaceful. Darling, why are you still silent?

Standing alone in this stage to hear the applause rang

My heart has infinite emotion

How much youth is not how many feelings have changed

I also have your love

My tears can not help but fall

After how many failures after how much waiting

Tell yourself to be patient
