What do the lyrics of the Pearl of the Orient mean?

Pearl of the Orient is a song that expresses deep feelings for Hong Kong through the return of national culture and history. Your patriotic songs should refer to the theme song. If so, what the Pearl of the Orient expresses obviously does not belong to it.

There is a melancholy and vicissitudes in the lyrics of this song, which obviously doesn't match the high-spirited and full emotions required by the main theme. Most importantly, this song has a localism appeal, and its nationalism appeal is the dignity of a locality and an individual, which conflicts with the main theme, that is, the basic purpose of nationalism, so this song has basically never been performed in Chinese mainland.

Introduction to songs

"Pearl of the Orient" is a song by Guan who sings, writes lyrics and composes music. It is included in the music album "Revelation" released by Guan 1986.

1985, Tayu Lo left the Chinese music scene. Dissatisfied with the cultural policies of China and Taiwan Province Province, he immigrated to the United States the following year. During his stay in the United States, Tayu Lo visited Hong Kong many times and began to take an interest in the city.

3 1986 takes Hong Kong as the creative theme, and creates songs from the perspective of music creation. Later, I was invited to write lyrics for this song, which was finally sung by Guan.

The word "Pearl of the Orient" perfectly explains the city of Hong Kong. The night here is charming, neon everywhere, thousands of lights, a hundred miles of light, and the sea waves set each other off. Hong Kong, a bustling international metropolis, is also called "Newland Port" with new york in the United States and London in the United Kingdom, so it has the alias and reputation of the Pearl of the Orient. This title originated in the1970s.

You may not be able to understand the meaning just by reading the article, but this must be interpreted in combination with the background at that time.

1At the end of 1984, China and Britain signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration, and Hong Kong began a wave of immigration for several years. It can be said that Hong Kong at that time was still a child who had no home to return to and depended on others. In his songs, Mr. Tayu Lo compared Hongkong to a weather-beaten lover, praised her elegance and made a constant promise to her.

Pearl of the Orient is a song written by Zheng Guojiang, an old Hongkong poet, written, composed and sung by Tayu Lo, the godfather of Taiwan Province pop music. 198 1 In the fourth annual Top Ten Golden Melody Awards Ceremony, songs won the Top Ten Golden Melody Awards. It was included in Tayu Lo's album Fly Together released in 2008.

The original lyrics are like this, you can refer to them.

Pearl of the Orient

Singing: Tayu Lo

The river bends to the east.

Flow to Xiangjiang to have a look.

Pearl of the Orient, my love.

Is your style romantic?

A moonlit harbor.

The night is deep and the lights are shining.

The Pearl of the Orient stayed up all night.

Keep your promise to change things.

Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years.

Every tear seems to express your dignity.

Let the tide accompany me to bless you.

Please don't forget my yellow-faced woman.

The ship turned into the harbor.

Looking back at the vast sea

The Pearl of the Orient embraced me.

Let me warm your cold chest

Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years.

Every tear seems to express your dignity.

Let the tide accompany me to bless you.

Please don't forget my yellow-faced woman.

The ship turned into the harbor.

Looking back at the vast sea

The Pearl of the Orient embraced me.

Let me warm your cold chest

music

Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years.

Every tear seems to express your dignity.

Let the tide accompany me to bless you.

Please don't forget my yellow-faced woman.

Let the sea breeze blow for five thousand years.

Every tear seems to express your dignity.

Let the tide accompany me to bless you.

Please don't forget my yellow-faced woman.

Please don't forget my yellow-faced woman.
