Mo Li Hua - The Jasmine Flower

Well, The first time that I listened the version of my video it was in a special programme about Mo li Hua made by Portuguese section of Radio China international (in short wave) in 1998 or 1999 and I fell in love for it. They presented many versions and among them this one. They said that this version is sung in a dialect from the south of China, this is the only thing that I know about the dialect. And the lyrics of this version is a little bit different from this down. In that time, I wrote to them asking about the singer, because I loved her voice but unfortunely I didn´t get or lost the replay (via radio).

Zhou Lingyan singing in the dialect WuYu.
Other version with her, link sent by Bigben446.

Many thanks Bigben 446

Lyrics:
Flower of jasmine, oh so fair!
Flower of jasmine, oh so fair!
Budding and blooming here and there,
Pure and fragrant all declare.
Let me take you with tender care,
Your sweetness for all to share.
Jasmine fair, oh jasmine fair.

@bigben446 @bigben446 Hi, bigben446

I have no words to say how grateful I am to you. You killed my curiosity that had dragged on since 1998. I looked for a song sang for her. Without doubt, is herself!!! THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

The songs name is mo (in pinyin) not muo

@MrBigEnchilada The sound into portuguese sounds "muo", but I correct it.

@Iceriver1000 I looked for other vids with her singing to compare the voice. I'm not sure, but I think that the singer has a voice tone sharper than Deng Li Jun (teresaTeng). But anyway many thanks for your comment.
