月下の胡弓 李香蘭 （ 山口淑子 ）

[Hank28899]

I like her voice, and her songs. However, she's more of a propaganda vehicle during the Japanese invasion of China. She's not an ordinary person, she worked in the Japanese parliament. Many Chinese brutally murdered by the Japanese solders, she has blood in her hands.

(2)I remember the shade of the tree that flowers fluttered down.

In this evening the melody of the song sobs.

Will you listen to the melody of my fiddle?

Petals of the flower are scattered on my shoulder.

(3) moonlight lights up the West Lake.

I found the light of your boat floating.

Where it will go to, or will it return to me?

Wind, carry the sound of my fiddle to you rowing a boat.

The Taiwanese version is "可憐的酒家女", and the Mandarin version is "酒醒夢已殘". Many Taiwanese singers have sung it.

Her song is lively. Could anyone kind enough to translate the lyric into either Chinese or English? Thank you. .

[shiguma2k]

I translate the Japanese lyric into English as follows.

A boat runs over the West Lake under the moonlight.

The light of your boat shakes on the water waves.

I want you to listen to the melody of my fiddle (I play).

I wish that the melody arrive to your boat.

This is a infamous Japanese Signer with Chinese name Li XiangLan during Japanese invading China during 1930th, however, her signing is nice, I like it too:) Do not remember what was her destination after Japanese surrender.

She continued her career in Japan and Hollywood (under the name Shirley Yamaguchi), and was a member of Japanese parliament for a while. She's 89 now.

This is a beautiful song. Is there any way to get the lyric of this song? It doesn't have to be Romanji.
