Music Video from China - "Oh, Tianchi"
Apr. 11th, 1998 03:40 pmI saw this music video on April 11th, 1998, when I was working in China, and was amused by its close resemblance to a travel brochure.
The English-language lyrics, as subtitled on my small T V screen, are as follows:
The English-language lyrics, as subtitled on my small T V screen, are as follows:
A lake of snow water in the sky
A piece of jadeite on the earth
Floating with clouds, oh, floating with clouds
Ice mountains are reflected on waves
Lake birds follow travellers' boats
Villas hide deep in the forest
Boys and girls get together, boys and girls get together
Tianchi is beautiful, Tianchi's scene is beautiful
It makes the visitors drunk
A lake of snow water in the sky
A piece of jadeite on the earth
Tianchi's pastoral songs chase the wind
Chasing the wind, oh, chasing the wind
Ice and snow glow in the mountains
Wild flowers grow on the foothills
Around felt houses nestled in trees
There are red roses blooming everywhere
Oh, Tianchi... Like a cup of wine held up to the sky
Oh, Tianchi.
A piece of jadeite on the earth
Floating with clouds, oh, floating with clouds
Ice mountains are reflected on waves
Lake birds follow travellers' boats
Villas hide deep in the forest
Boys and girls get together, boys and girls get together
Tianchi is beautiful, Tianchi's scene is beautiful
It makes the visitors drunk
A lake of snow water in the sky
A piece of jadeite on the earth
Tianchi's pastoral songs chase the wind
Chasing the wind, oh, chasing the wind
Ice and snow glow in the mountains
Wild flowers grow on the foothills
Around felt houses nestled in trees
There are red roses blooming everywhere
Oh, Tianchi... Like a cup of wine held up to the sky
Oh, Tianchi.
