The most famous opening four notes in the history of Cantonese pop music?

[trandat4]

Wellm it has been 30 years.

[nhatranghao]

Noone can sing Shanghai Bund better than Francis Yip period.

[adila990]

best sangat lagu ni.tengok drama yg dilakunkan olih Chow Yun Fat..minat sangat pelakun ni..

[jimmyitac]

I'm passing on this beautiful classic to my children.

[sungleong]

The theme song of Shanghai Bund, which is like a Chinese TV version of The Godfather, classic!

[sahajad]

I hope that some one will upload the song- Kassai by frances Yip. It is very nice . I think that it is one of her Japanese songs .

[BAIYUE1]

This is Shanghai tan in Cantonese language.

[AsiaWorldMedia]

[DaraJegit89]

even do i'm not a chinese, but I like this song. I know this song from my grandpa, aunt n mom..n also during my organ class music lesson...

[MegaTravelin]

nice vdo

[ghal5]

many actor and actress show on the movie (shang hai tan) but about the song that's always frances yip.

[AuntMame]

Frances Yip's trademark song. Perfect in every way. It's amazing how she sings the emotion into the appropriate word. I think the two composers wrote it with her voice, in mind.

[shw1ft]

one song one singer..

[nooyawkfun]

Frances Yip is synonymous with The Bund. She is one of a kind. If you haven't seen her in concert, go before she gets too old to belt this gem out.

[barrhavener]

The best performer of this song goes to

His Worship Frank Scarpitti, Mayor of Markham, Ontario Canada.

He actually remembers all the words !!!!

[jeaby2757]

She is very good. I love her voice. Very nice and poweful voice. Thanks.

[gennee100]

[kaijaekukkuk]

the legend

[tipatpeu]

my idol

[cwtanak]

great singer, my idol

[zoosiabheev]

Surging waves, flowing waves.For thousands of miles the rivers rush onward, washing worldly concerns, bringing a new world. Is this happiness or sadness? So hard to draw a line between joy and sadness.Sucess or failure. so hard to see the future clearly. Loving you or hating you, if you know.Like flowing river, my feelings never stop passing by a thousand bunds.The struggle for power never stops..........No hope of knowing true joy or sadness.I still keep the love in my heart forever.

[ghal5]

She's the legend of this song

[1000saib]

Hi friends,

Sometimes, you don't have to understand the meaning/language--all you are looking for is the sound. Do we have to understand the meaning of a bird's chirp--no. Voice is what makes the difference. I am not Chinese but really enjoy this song a lot. Thanks Mrs. Yip for your golden voice.

[benbowDD]

@1000saib I am Cantonese and has grown up with the TV series of Shanghai Tan(1984). But you are so right about Mrs. Yip's performance. After all theses years, everytime when I hear this song, it makes me shiver, it is Soooo Gooood! She simply stands there, her clear and powerful diction just carries your breath with her all the way.

[Orutra621]

@1000saib I like the bad ass guitar rifts.

[jokeparon]

what is the meaning of this song heard this song for nearly 30 without knowing the meaning thai elephant

[kvrkid]

wat a voice... I dont understand a word of it. But friends, this song and her rendition are beautiful. The rise and fall of her voice, the stress on the sounds... absolutely love this song. SUPERB .. !

[Bigbonsai21]

Her voice is so powerful and this song is a real evergreen! Love it!

[purtraksasab2]

what a legend

[danashuai]

The best song of Joseph Koo's, and certainly the best of Hong Kong !!!!! Thank you !!!! I heard it for the first time in France when all the cantonese here watched the series on video...

[angelistictouch]

SUPERB pitch perfeect

[marorangie]

คนอะไร มาเสียงดีแท้

[tiftifgirl]

[eldomart]

Sing! Long ban long lau maan lei tou tou gong seoi wing bat yau Tou zeon liu sai gaan si wan zok tou tou yat pin ciu lau Si hei si sau long lei fan bat cing fun siu bei yau Seng gung sat baai long lei hon bat ceot an mei yau Moi nei han nei man gwan zi fau Ci daai gong yat faat bat sau Zyun cin waan zyun cin taan Yik mei peng fuk ci zung zaang dau Yau yau hei yau yau sau Zau syun fan bat ceng fun siu bei yau Ying jyun faan baak cin long Zoi ngo sam zung hei fuk gau

[xiuqin24]

Jau should be spelt as yau as in Cantonese pronunciation 忧 。

Jat should be spelt as yat 一 。

Anyway , I do not your language is Vietnamese or whichever , I guess as long as people with singing genes shall be able to hum after this 30 year old ++ famous song .

Let's just sit back and draw out all our lung power to sing {{ 上海滩 }} 。

[eldomart]

Thank you for correction but Jau and Jat is spelt Yau and Yat in the Netherlands :)

[xiuqin24]

You migrate to Netherlands to study or working there ?

[insoserious]

it's true. my indian friend knows this song!

[GuzzieAng]

Great song. Great Singer!!!

[teadogs10]

I really like the series. Sad ending.

[nooyawkfun]

What a striking voice! And a wonderfully written song. Kudos to the writers. And only Francis Yip can sing this song properly. They are all Hong Kong classics forever.

[asiantrolls]

this song always reminds me of my trip to HK in 1984.

[kolache87]

Can someone send me the music notes and the lyrics. I need it so I can sing this at me wedding. Por favor.

[noptepkangwan]

Thank you very much for uploading this song. I love it.

[NathanLee0921]

I really wanted the sheet music for this song, but can't find it anywhere. I will pay 10 dollars as a reward for anyone who can find it for me. LOL. I mean, really. Please.

[dankaren95]

For those who have sung this song before or are planning to sing it, for God's sake regret it and DON'T ever attempt to do it. It will make you look STUPID. Please, please just leave the singing to this professional.

[Quy4life]

she has strong ass voice!

[sirinjanakara1960]

very good

[manoch19]

[jjblue69]

I remember this song since I was a boy. We constantly sing it much to the chagrin of the headmaster. I love this song! Francis Yip is a great singer!

[funjellybeans]

many singers perform this song but the orginal singer, francis is the best of all time. thanks

[ex0duzz]

@funjellybeans I like Andy Lau's one the best. I guess i just prefer male voice to this.. her version is too old school. Sounds like opera.. hehe

[levincent62]

Francis Yip "DIVA" this is my most fave song

the best music, best voice, god bless francis

Yip. this song will live forever in my heart

[dgtlrtst]

A young Francis Yip entertained us at the US Air Force Officer's Club in Bangkok in 1974. She was great then and still is now.

[cologirl1]

I watched the movie when I was in high school in Bangkok. The movie was top hit. I don't speak Chinese but I love the music so much. It is the best chinese music

[bdoboy]

Thank you for posting this great song. And thanks for the great translation as my Chinses is not that good. I agree that no one sings this better than Francis as she does it with great power, grace and feelings. This is a great lift me up type of song whenever I feel kind of sad.

[jjblue69]

yes, somehow I can smile and cry with this song

[sweetlife2007]

I love this song so much.Francis Yip is a great singer.

[videoinspector123]

[langshipley]

This is the best version of the song I have seen on YouTube. I just love Francis Yip.

[bagianhaque]

Rushing waves, flowing waves

Thousand miles of the torrential river flows ceaselessly forever

Washed away the worldly affairs

Torrential mixing of the tidal currents

is it happiness? is it sorrow?

[1603oxford]

Your translation is excellent!

[superdragon07]

Wonderful.

Any translation in English?

I don´t anderstand the lyris

[Mamakayi]

Jenny Tseng + Francis Yip really are very best female singers around ASIA!!

Mio. ***** :-) :-) :-)

[loung747]

franicis yip fucking blows goat nuts

[pixelpete60]

I wish I could understand the lyrics. Any translation anywhere? It is definitely a beautiful song even if I don't understand the words. It only shows that music is so magical it must be a gift from God.

[lilykong]

Shanghai beach. Literal excerpts are: Tides come, tides flow, for thousands of miles the waves never stop, the water will distill worldly happenings,and the waves will mix them all up into a cascading stream.. (more to come..) It's a moving depiction, with poetic and factual imaginary treatment.. very soulful and captivating..a classic.. the bible of all songs..

[bolehbuat08]

Wonderful words to the non chinese speaking crowd. Have seen other races singing this song too -- i guess they also can relate to it. bravo

[posn75]

Anyone else would sound awful singing this song.. This song was written and produced FOR her ..

[bpabustan]

Agree man! Only Frances Yip can sing this song with elegance and finesse. Just like Nessun Dorma was meant to be sung by Pavarotti.

[anhhaipac]
