This song, which means Tuberose (a flower which is most fragrant after nightfall) is a timeless classic originally performed by Shirley Yamaguchi 山口淑子 a.k.a. Li Xiang Lan 李香蘭 and since her debut, there countless cover versions sung and recorded by many artistes. The original Li Xiang Lan version is of course the benchmark which all others will be measured against.

  • This song was composed and recorded in Shanghai, 1944. The composer, Li Jin Guang, said he wrote this song after stepping into the garden after a long days' work in the evening. And he heard the singing of the birds. Sounds like he was inspired by the simple joy of life.

  • @fltrvlr Another insight into the many facets of period influenced composition. Thanks for the comments.

  • Tuberose (a flower which is most fragrant after nightfall) is a metaphore for hookers - women who becomes 'fragrant' at night.
