And Keira My little princess

卓依婷 (Timi Zhuo) - 真 心 真 意 谢 谢 你 (Thank You Sincerely)

LYRICS.....

如果陽光裡沒有你 我不會疼愛我自己
如果歲月裡沒有你 我不會珍惜我自己
如果等待裡沒有你 我也許早已隨風而去
如果期待裡沒有你 我也許只懂得哭泣
真心真意謝謝你 是你留住我的夢
溫暖了我的心 真心真意謝謝你
是妳喚醒我的愛 是你滋潤了我的情

If you were absent from the sunlight,
I would not be able to love myself.
If you were absent from the years,
I would not be able to cherish myself.
If I waited but you never came,
Perhaps I would blow away in the wind.
If in anticipation, you never came,
Perhaps, I can only weep in acknowledgment.
Thank you sincerely!
It is you who have left me my dreams,
And all the warmth in my heart.
Thank you sincerely!
It is you who have awaken my love
And moisten my sentiment.

Remembering Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 15 years after her Death......

Her voice has been described as the ultimate healing balm for broken hearts. Her smile was said to be warm enough to melt a glacier and her unwavering patriotism for Taiwan was unquestionable, and every year millions of fans of the legendary Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 , pause to remember May 8 the sad day when she was taken from this world.

Here is another one of my favorite song from her, this is the Japanese version of her song she call who will love me?



Miss Teng was hugely popular in Japan too, laugh and cry with her in this video as she wins three consecutive title for best singer in Japan.



Even 15 years after her untimely May 8, 1995 death, Teresa Teng, hands down remains one of the biggest sensation ever to hit the Chinese music industry in Taiwan and China, and she remains the most influential cultural figure for the global Chinese community.

Miss Teng not only enjoy huge success in Taiwan where she was born, but all over Asia. her clear and sweet voice, and her heart rending love songs , appealed to both young and old, and even today her music and beautiful voice can still be heard in Chinese communities across the world.

As we mark the 15 anniversary of her passing, let us remember what a great woman she was, let us all her loyal fans do everything to keep her memory alive, Even though she has left us, for millions of us who are her loyal fans
she will always be our idol.

How could we not love this woman who
through her many songs made us feel happy, sad, and countless other
emotions that cannot be describe. RIP Miss Teng.

Chinese actress Tang Wei to play Teresa Teng in upcoming movie......

As the 15 anniversary of the death of Legendary Taiwanese songbird Teresa Teng draws near, it is been reported that Taiwanese Director Ang Lee has been given the go ahead by the family of Teresa Teng to adapt her life story to put to the big screen, and Lee has chosen renowned mainland actress Tang Wei to play the legendary singer.

Teng's family says Tang Wei has a very similar face and temperament to Teresa Teng, and they consider Tang Wei to be the only actress who could play Teng.

An asthmatic, Teng died after suffering a serious respiratory attack on may 8 1995 while on holiday in Thailand and was given a state funeral in her native Taiwan.

In the 15 years since her death, film producers from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have been trying to put Teresa Teng's story on the silver screen, but all have failed to get authorization from her family until recently.

As a huge fan of Teresa Teng myself, i could not be more happier, i cannot wait for the day this film hit cinemas around the world.

Another Beautiful Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 song..........................

One of the reason why Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 was such a huge superstar was her ability to transmit emotions in her songs no matter what language she was singing in.
Here again is one of my all time favorite song call 想把情人留 I want my lover to stay... from her album " Love Is Like A Song" (愛像一首歌) released in 1981.
This has got to be one of Teresa's best, she did an absolutely good job with this song, so much emotion, so much beauty.........

想把情人留



And if you thought this Chinese version was beautiful, check out the Japanese version of the same song by Teresa also......



I fell in love with this song the first time i heard it and it has been one of my favorite since.

The lyrics goes something like this......

門前的小河不斷地流
The little river outside my front door runs continuously.

小河水悠悠 是否你也爲情煩惱 日夜說不休
Little running river, are you also burdened by sentiments and worries, non-stop day and night also?

雖然我願爲你分些憂 卻不知誰來替我解心愁
Although I can give you some advice and i am willing to share some of your worries, I don't know who can help me resolve mine.

但願你心知我心 想把情人留
I hope you know that my heart wants my Lover to stay.

小河不管我爲何愁 依然說不休
The little river runs endlessly, regardless if i worry or not.it does not care for whom I worry.

只有我自己望夕陽 落向青山後
Leaving me alone to watch the sunset descending behind the mountain.

雖然我願爲你分些憂 卻不知誰來替我解心愁
Although I can give you some advice and i am willing to share some of your worries, I don't know who can help me resolve mine.

但願你心知我心 想把情人留
I hope you know that my heart wants my Lover to stay.

門前的小河不斷地流
The little river outside runs endlessly.

小河水悠悠 你說你也爲了情煩惱 对我說不休
Little running river, you say you are also burdened by sentiment, running non-stop day and night.

雖然我願爲你分些憂 卻不知誰來替我解心愁
Although I can give you some advice and i am willing to share some of your worries, I don't know who can help me resolve mine.

但願你心知我心 想把情人留
I hope you know that my heart wants my Lover to stay.
