So it wrote a song praising the beauty of the China night and Chinese girls. Maybe, one day they want to return? Apparently, it was also very popular during the Korean War with the GIs under different title and words. Love this song. This version is by Watanabe Hamako, I believe.

支那之夜, 支那之夜哟 那港湾的灯光,
紫色的夜晚 那梦中的船儿, 摇呀摇荡,
啊, 忘不了那胡琴的弦音 支那之夜, 支那之夜
支那之夜, 支那之也哟 那窗前的柳儿,
摇呀摇曳 年红色的灯笼, 支那的姑娘 ,
啊, 忘不了那可爱的容颜
支那之夜, 支那之夜
支那之夜, 支那之夜哟 那等待郎的夜晚,
那栏杆外的细雨 花落, 红散了
啊, 永别了, 那忘不了的
支那之夜, 支那之夜
