"Songs of the Four O'clock in the Midnight"
Southern Dynasty Yuefu Folk Songs
Lyrics:
The flowers in the spring forest are so beautiful, and the spring birds are so sad. .
The spring breeze is sentimental again, blowing my clothes into bloom.
Go to the balcony in the morning and sleep in the orchid pond at night.
Pick hibiscus by the moon and get lotus seeds every night.
Looking up at the tung trees, the tung flowers are extremely pitiful.
May there be no frost or snow in the sky, and may the Wuzi bear fruit for thousands of years.
The deep ice is three feet thick, and the plain snow is thousands of miles thick.
My heart is like a pine and a cypress, but your love is not the same.
Song Appreciation:
An episode of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" (1995 version), appearing at the wedding of Liu Bei and Sun Shangxiang in episode 43. The song is soft, melodious and intriguing, with a strong Wu style. It is sung in Wu Nong's soft language and has become a classic song. The lyrics are taken from the 10th Spring Song, the 8th Summer Song, the 15th Autumn Song and the 1st Winter Song from the Southern Dynasties Yuefu's "Songs for the Four O'clock at Midnight".
