April 唱送别 - 城南旧事

Mommy has been singing to April when she's very young. This is one of the songs. For some reason it registerd more in her and we found out she can sing it by herself one day.



A video of the song in the movie itself and the lyrics:

长亭外古道边
芳草碧连天
晚风扶柳笛声残
夕阳山外山
天之涯地之角
知交半零落
一壶浊酒尽余欢
今宵别梦寒



Here's another song April likes, Mommy got a customed CD from Auntie Ada (Correction: Ada 姊姊) maybe when April's 1ish. Mommy played the song in the car and not realizing April's been absorbing the song. Then one day Mommy played the song again and heard her sing along with it. It's quite an amazing experience. Then Mommy told Ada 姊姊, she was like, "Nooo!!! That's a very sad sad song. Not good for kids." Mommy has never watched the music video until Ada 姊姊 sent her the link. The lyric itself wasn't that sad if you hear the music without the video. But anyway, we had so far never shown April the video and April like ot sing the chorus part:

我愿变成童话里
你爱的那个天使
张开双手
变成翅膀守护你
你要相信
相信我们会像童话故事里
幸福和快乐是结局

The original 童话 music video is here.

April does such a wonderful job singing the song. 口齿很清楚。I tried to teach Lizzy some Chinese poem, but she won't repeat after me. Only English nursery rhymes. 唉...
