Red Dust is from Sarah's 1990 album "A Lifetime of Waiting" (一生守候) which is available on Rock Records - see also SarahRockRecords at You Tube. A nice live recording of it is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMFxbvS3PEo and a nice official video of it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVm3GdOd2P8. Sarah recorded it as the title song of the 1990 film "Red Dust", starring Brigitte Lin, Chin Han, Maggie Cheung, Josephine Koo, Yim Ho & Richard Ng. Yim Ho directed the film, and it did very well at the Hong Kong Film Awards 1991, and the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards 1990. It is a love story which spans many decades of Chinese history, starting in 1938. An independent-minded female writer strikes up an acquaintance and then a romance with a man who is collaborating with the Japanese. Despite warnings from friends, she persists, until they are separated during the Civil War, and their fates only become clear in 1989. Sarah (Chen Shu Hua ) was born in Taiwan on May 14 in either 1958 or 1959. She was hailed as a 'genius child star' at the age of 8, winning first prize in the Broadcasting Ballad Competition. By 1967, she was recording singles for Angel Records, releasing her debut album in 1973 with Seamount Records. Her music won her many accolades during the 1970s, 80s and 90s ... touching the hearts of many people in a unique way. There is a maturity and depth in her music that sets her apart from most. Her disappearance from public life in 1998 remains somewhat of a mystery, although the death of her mother affected her very deeply. Life can be very complex, and particularly for those in the public eye. It often amazes me how musicians and actors keep going as long as they do. There is much more to life than being on stage, as Greta Garbo and others have shown. Having started so young, retiring at 40 is maybe not so surprising. Listening to Sarah is a very special experience, and one soon realises that she is much more than a singer and musician. Mandarin Lyrics: 起初不经意的你 和少年不经世的我 红尘中的情缘 只因那生命匆匆不语的胶着 想是人世间的错 或前世流传的因果 终生的所有 也不惜获取刹那阴阳的交流 来易来去难去 数十载的人世游 分易分聚难聚 本应属于你的心 它依然护紧我胸口 为只为那尘世转变的面孔后的翻云覆雨手 来易来去难去 数十载的人世游 分易分聚难聚 爱与恨的千古愁 于是不愿走的你 要告别已不见的我 至今世间仍有隐约的耳语 滚滚红尘里有隐约的耳语 跟随我俩的传说 Very approximate English Translation (via Google Translate) Initially casual teenager without you and my world Red Love because it lives in a hurry, without a word of stalemate Think it is right or wrong earthly causal past spread All lifetime moment hesitate to get the exchange of yin and yang Come easy to come and go to the decades of this world tour Points easily separated poly difficult to gather Should belong to your heart It is still nursing my chest tight The only change is that the face of the earth after blowing hot and cold hands Come easy to come and go to the decades of this world tour of easily separated poly difficult to gather Eternal love and hate you worry so reluctant to go missing I have to say goodbye So far the world is still faint whisper Red Dust, there are faint whisper We were to follow the legend Pinyin Qǐchū bùjīngyì de nǎi hé shàonián bù jīngshì de wǒ Hóngchén zhōng de qíngyuán zhǐ yīn nà shēngmìng cōngcōng bù yǔ de jiāozhe Xiǎng shì rén shìjiān de cuò huò qiánshì liúchuán de yīnguǒ Zhōngshēng de suǒyǒu yě bùxī huànqǔ chànà yīnyáng de jiāoliú Lái yì láiqù nán qù shù shí zài de rénshì yóu Fēn yì fēn jù nán jù ài yǔ hèn de qiāngǔ chóu Běn yìng shǔyú nǎi de xīn tā yīrán hù jǐn wǒ xiōngkǒu Wèi zhǐ wèi nà chénshì zhuǎnbiàn de miànkǒng hòu de fānyúnfùyǔ shǒu Lái yì láiqù nán qù shù shí zài de rénshì yóu Fēn yì fēn jù nán jù ài yǔ hèn de qiāngǔ chóu Yúshì bù yuàn zǒu de nǎi yào gàobié yǐ bùjiàn de wǒ Zhìjīn shìjiān réng yǒu yǐnyuē de ěryǔ Gēnsuí wǒ liǎ de chuánshuō Break Lái yì láiqù nán qù shù shí zài de rénshì yóu Fēn yì fēn jù nán jù ài yǔ hèn de qiāngǔ chóu Yúshì bù yuàn zǒu de nǎi yào gàobié yǐ bùjiàn de wǒ Zhìjīn shìjiān réng yǒu yǐnyuē de ěryǔ Gēnsuí wǒ liǎ de chuánshuō Gǔngǔn hóngchén li yǒu yǐnyuē de ěryǔ Gēnsuí wǒ liǎ de chuánshuō
