985. Tian Mi Mi (甜蜜蜜) (Traditional Taiwanese)

A popular Chinese song meaning "Your Sweet Smile" or more literally "Sweet Honey Honey", this was written to the tune of an Indonesian song called "Dayung Sampan", which I uploaded a few days ago.

It was popularised by Taiwanese pop singer, Teresa Teng, who also recorded the original Indonesian song.

Here is an English translation of the lyrics:

How sweet it is!
How sweet it is!
How sweet it is when you smile!
Like flowers blooming in the breeze, blooming in the breeze ...

Where was it?
Where was it that I met you?
Your smile is so familiar
Ah, where was it?

Where was it that I've seen you?
In my dreams, in my dreams I've seen you...
it's you, it's you.
You're the person who appeared in my dreams.

Teresa Teng's songs are known all over Asia and are popular not only with Chinese but also with Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian and Indonesian audiences.

I mean raymondcrookes, I'm a lover of classical music,

who always, sensitive to the details of playing or singing (as what most classical music lovers do), but your singing is so incredibly touching,

I'm a Malaysian chinese, I've known many of those Indonesian or Chinese song snag by you since I was small, and this is the very first time, I feel like to sing along...congrats!!
