第二春 (The Second Spring - The Ding Dong Song)

[cordellrobin]

看到簡體字就令人噁心........

[mecekho]

歌是旧的，梦是新的，有创意

[gengar77]

so full of expression and emotion...something sorely lacking in modern music

[wingklow]

Thank you for introducing this song and singer 董佩佩 and composer 姚敏 to me. Beautiful song and lovely singing. I missed the opportunity to enjoy the Hong Kong music scene. I left in 1949.

It's the Chipmunks!!!

[betalover1]

I like the lyrics. It is quite crafty with neat contradictions.

It is clear that it is hazy...

[fishgul69]

forgive me for sounding ignorant, English is my first lang, but I find that I am liking songs like these, trying to get some on my iPod, especially the one about Princess Zhao Jun. if anyone has any more to suggest and how to dl it, just message me.

In 1959, Tsai Chin 周采芹 (actress) recorded an English version of Yao Ming's 姚敏 The Second Spring 第二春 , which featured in the London stage musical "The World of Suzie Wong ". With lyrics by Lionel Bart, The Ding Dong Song was released as a single on Decca backed by the original Mandarin version. Although they were not made with Hong Kong audiences in mind The Ding Dong Song became popular local nightclub songs and is well-remembered in Hong Kong.

[wangyaoting]

This is my grandfather's favorite song! I think this song has an English version (though I do not have the translation).

[sampan88]

Nice voice. Nice song. Can somebody kindly provide the English translation for the Chinese lyrics please?

[dobwalls]

english version is Ding dong song by Tai Chi

[sampan88]

Thanks, but I was looking for a direct translation of the Chinese lyrics. I only understand about half of the lyrics - my chinese no good. I knew the Ding Dong song since young. The English version has different lyrics, meaning.

[ienjoyverymuch]

She can be named Dong Bei Bei or Tung Pei Pei or Tong Pui Pui. She is one of my favoirte singer. This is her original song. She sang in one of the famous Night Club in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong in the 60-70´s.

Later she disappeared from the public. We missed her very much.
