This Mandarin classic coms from Mei Tai's 1970 album CS10002. It was originally recorded by Bai Guang in 1947 during Shanghai's golden period. Mei Tai was born in Taiwan Taoyuan in February 1939. Her family were farmers in the hills. In 1956 she was an assistant at the People radio station. In 1957, she launched her singing career, and in 1960 entered the music scene in Taipei. She became the most popular singer in Taiwan, releasing over 40 albums. 14 of them made in her first 2 years of recording, between 1963 and 1965. Mei Tai's vocals are a unique style of great skill and very individual characteristics. She is regarded as a "national treasure veteran singer" and an outstanding singer of classic Mandarin songs. Her recording of "Unforgettable Memories" is one of her many masterpieces. There is also an expression " Tai Mei" which refers to a flamboyant Taiwanese female that often frequents nightclubs, bars, karaoke bars and lounges. Our Tai Mei frequented many recording studios, singing songs that will never be forgotten. The Mandarin pop music that developed in Taiwan, that would become modern Mandopop, is a blend of traditional Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, as well as Western musical styles. Zi Wei (紫薇) was the earliest of the Taiwan-based stars who achieved success outside of Taiwan in the late 1950s with the song "Green Island Serenade", followed by other singers such as Mei Tai (美黛) and Yao Surong (姚蘇蓉) in the 1960s. During this period, regional centres of Chinese pop music also started to emerge in overseas Chinese communities such as Malaysia and Singapore. Hong Kong being the first centre back in the 1950s English Translation (by cdman88) Lyrics: Ye Yifang 葉逸芳 Composer: Chen Ruizhen 陳瑞楨 The lady in green has another lonely cold moonless night. She is overcome with tears because music reminds her of the man who is not satisfied with her. Green dress outside, the moon is hidden completely hidden, green dress inside, cold and clear a clear desolate night. Suddenly I hear the sound of music, breaking the silence in the lonesome hill. The sound repeatedly touches my heart, making me think of him. Evoking deep, deep feelings to keep the imprint of his kiss Till now young men who aimlessly search to the end of the world will find nothing, forgetting that their little nose is already sore. This child's teardrops drench her blouse.
