Sung by Teresa Teng
The grass is green and the fog is misty, and there's a beautiful woman living on the side of the water
The grass is lush and the fog is misty, and there's a beautiful woman living on the side of the water
I would like to swim upstream against the current.
I'd like to swim upstream and snuggle beside her
But there's a dangerous shoal in front of me, and the road is far and long
I'd like to swim downstream and look for her
But I can see that she's in the center of the water
I'd like to swim upstream and whisper to her
But there's a dangerous shoal in front of me, and the road is winding and twisting
I'd like to swim upstream and whisper to her
I'd like to swim upstream and whisper to her
I'd like to swim upstream and whisper to her.
I would like to go downstream to find her trail
But I can see as if vaguely, she stands in the water
Green grass is pale and white mist, there is a beautiful person on the side of the water

In 1980, Teresa Teng re-covered the song and included it in the album "On the Waterfront". It quickly became a hit once it was released.
Teresa Teng's voice is warm, mellow and delicate without losing its toughness, with a wide range, natural transitions between the vocal regions when singing, and a coherent and unified voice, with hardly any traces of air changes to be heard. On the different songs of the tune and rhythm of the law of the grasp, the timbre of the sculpture, the strength of the strength of the contrast, the feelings of the release, etc., Teresa Teng strives to achieve excellence, even if it is a sentence of a small turn, she has dealt with the fine, appropriate.
