Description

Without doubt, she was one of Asia’s most popular stars and it is said that wherever there are Chinese, you will be able to hear her songs. Instead of big topics such as world peace or human equality, Teresa Teng sang about personal emotions of longing and love and commonplace themes which resonated with the ordinary man in the street. Described as “seven parts sweetness and three parts sadness”, she had a voice that was instantly recognizable Her singing style was simple but conveyed sincerity and was thus able to invoke a range of emotions in the listener.

Here at night the southern breeze is cool and crisp / The nightingale cries sadly.

All the flowers are asleep in the moonlight/ Except the tuberose that blooms so bright.

I love the deep and still of the night / I love the nightingale’s lovely voice,

What I love more is my dream as lovely as the flowers / To embrace and caress the tuberose all through my night.

The ethereal quality of her melodious voice penetrates deeply and tugs at your heartstrings. There is a warmth and strength within the sweetness which is a source of comfort to the listener’s battered soul. The Song of Tuberose 夜来香 was launched in 2014.
