I know that old recordings of CNY songs tend to be slow, but this one sounded especially mellow. Must be because this record came out just after the war, huh?
Yao Ming (or Yao Min, 姚敏) was a Chinese Shidaiqu singer and composer. Yao was born in Shanghai in or around 1919. He had a sister Yao Lee (姚莉). He showed special talents in music. He could play Erhu, violin and piano at his early age before learn playing any musical instruments. Yao Min and Yao Lee followed their uncle to perform at some radio stations. They gained thunderous applause and a lot of praises. Zhou Xuan (周璇) and Yan Hua even introduced them to Pathe Records.
琥珀 Amber is fossilized tree resin (not sap) and has been appreciated for its colour and natural beauty. Good quality amber is used for the manufacture of ornamental objects and jewellery.
Mainland China and Singapore generally use simplified characters.
like Russian folk song which mixed with happiness and sorrow; this original lyrics, orchestration, interpretaion different from what usually in TV which with superficial smiling face saying "happy fxxking new years"stupidly, it descibed the deepest feeling of mixed of happiness and sorrow that we all experienced in our mortal body in this earth; what a aesthetics in context and form; good artpiece! introduced it to your friends when they get tired orf cliches of "happy new year stuffs"!
because when it was first sung, it was not a New Year Song, but rather a song to celebrate the end of WWII--end of the Japanese invasion.
When I was young, I didn't understand why the lyrics of this song bare so much heaviness--it talks about a dreadful, dark winter, and all the hardship, etc, which in fact does make the happiness of the New Year more intensely delightful, but it is strange for a happy new year song do that... until I read about the song's history.
Are you in France, how come you are a French but can read Chinese and understand the lyricss? or Are you a Chinese, ---just find it interesting, Would you tell me?
and btw, Chinese happy songs aren't actually like what you have pointed out. I guess this is a particular. What you mentioned like mixed with happiness and sorrow, I do see that a lot in Russian songs, but I don't recall much of that sort in Chinese music. Usually Chinese happy songs are just happy (and shallow, haha).

《恭喜恭喜》, 我聽過不同版本演繹, 大多數輕快, 特別會在大年初一從電視, 電台不停播放, 所以, 我不會留意歌詞, 不過, 當我聽過姚氏兄妹所唱的歌, 感到有一絲絲悲涼,就開始留意這首曲詞, 謝謝你!
