@gustjorodedheo For me, losing the tones in songs definitely makes things confusing--not sure if it confuses native Chinese speakers. I do speak Chinese (although not fluently), but I can barely understand Chinese songs unless I see the lyrics for two reasons: a) the tones get lost and b) songs tend to be poetic in nature, and sound rather different from normal speech.
@gustjorodedheo "Does that make things confusing? I imagine that it would"
...Sometimes. But I can understand this song fine. Chinese isn't as reliant on tones as people suspect, because it relies just as much, if not more on word order and syntax. Also Chinese isn't a monosyllabic language, it's bisyllabic/trisyllabic and sometimes quadrisyllabic. for ex., people like to use the word "ma" to present the difficulty of Chinese (it can mean mother or horse) but actually, mom is "muchin."
@gustjorodedheo But it also depends on the music....this particular melody allows enough ups and downs to create the illusion of mimicking tonality. In songs with phrases that has streams of monotonous notes, it gets more difficult. But a very good lyricist would create syntax using diction that can ensure people may understand upon hearing it.
