-Wanting Qu bridges cultures, namely Vancouver and China, and I have to admit, I’m a bit smitten of this song (that inspired this poem).
One unexpected delight
You exist in my dreams
Like an intimate breath of hope
A radiant inexhaustible humour
That becomes a voice
And when I see you in the world
A voice whispers in my mind
That we are all connected
If you had the desire
To do good or beautiful things
I know you will, even as you live
In my heart, like a shade of light
Not like a stranger, but a feeling
That needs no explanation
An unexpected delight
That has a queer power of destiny
In the grace of your eyes
I see the youth of everyone’s dreams
Like an intimate sign of
How the world is big and small
The fate of all the worlds
That becomes a voice
I see you in all life
A voice whispers in my heart
That we are all connected
If you evolve to find a way
Out of selfishness, remember
The others who stood by you
Were not always the expected ones
Where the moon can set below
The Pleiades and familiar stars
You exist in my dreams
Without any hesitation
So I leave you there until
I am able to perceive you
In the blessed days ahead of me.

simply beautiful
Thank you musings, I really have to start learning Mandarin…
well, you are certainly way ahead of my game man.
Nice song!
Lovely
This is beautiful!
Thanks for your comments Sherrie
Altogether beautiful. What a magical voice and a lovely sounding language. My only wish is that I could have seen her performing it as she appears as beautiful on surface as gifted in song. The translation was appreciated.
‘Not like a stranger, but a feeling

Your poem and the video stand on their own, but together create their own unique harmony. I am delighted I took the time to view this today. Xx
What a sweet comment Ara! It’s always interesting when an artist gains some fame in China who has connects to another country like Canada.
