This is my very first recording. I hold some special feelings for this song for the moon, my favorite full moon! 

Lyrics: The moon represents my heart

You asked me how deep I love you and how much I love you
My affection is true and my love is true. 
The moon represents my heart
You asked me how deep I love you and how much I love you
My affection will not alter and my love will not change
The moon represents my heart
A gentle kiss has already touched my heart
The deep love has made me long for you till now
You asked me how deep I love you and how much I love you
You can think about it and you can take a look
The moon represents my heart


The Moon Represents My Heart - 月亮代表我的心

A poetic, melodic and upbeat song.  Many thanks to Lim Teck Yi for his seamless play of the instrument of Gu Zheng in this recording.  Hopefully you'll enjoy my singing ^-^. 

Lyrics: 
Snip one piece of time and let it flow by slowly
剪一段時光緩緩流淌
It flows into the moonshine rippling gently
流進了月色中微微蕩漾
Play a melody that exudes the subtle fragrance of lotus 
彈一首小荷淡淡的香
The beautiful sound of strings falls right beside me
美麗的琴音就落在我身旁
The fireflies brighten the starry light of the night
螢火蟲點亮夜的星光

Who will bring me a piece of clothing that a dream would wear? 
誰為我添一件夢的衣裳?
Open the window of the heart to watch from afar
推開那扇心窗遠遠地望

Who will pick yesterday’s flower of melancholy?
誰採下那一朵昨日的憂傷?
I am like a fish in your lotus pond
我像只魚兒在你的荷塘
Just wanting to hold the bright and clear moonlight with you
只為和你守候那皎白月光
Having swum throughout the seasons, the lotus still smells fragrant 
游過了四季 荷花依然香
Waiting for you in the middle of the water
等你宛在水中央


The fireflies brighten the starry light of the night
螢火蟲點亮夜的星光
Who will bring me a piece of clothing that a dream would wear? 
誰為我添一件夢的衣裳
Open the window of the heart to watch from afar
推開那扇心窗遠遠地望

Who will pick yesterday’s flower of melancholy?
誰採下那一朵昨日的憂傷?
I am like a fish in your lotus pond
我像只魚兒在你的荷塘
Just wanting to hold the bright and clear moonlight with you
只為和你守候那皎白月光
Having swum throughout the seasons, the lotus still smells fragrant 
游過了四季 荷花依然香
Waiting for you in the middle of the water
等你宛在水中央
Recite: 
I see the youthful you of those days as an image in the water
那時年輕的你 和你水中的模樣
My admiration for you remains unwavering
依然不變的仰望
In the boundless and mesmerizing starry light 
漫天迷人的星光
Who can walk into the room in your heart to pick a lotus?
誰能走進你的心房 採下一朵蓮
Is this the fragrance of the night or the scent of your hair?
是那夜的芬芳 還是你的髮香
Lotus, lotus, please sing with ease
荷塘呀荷塘 你慢慢慢慢唱喲
Moonbeam, moonbeam, please listen gently
月光呀月光 你慢慢慢慢聽喲
Fish, fish, please swim leisurely
魚兒呀魚兒 你慢慢慢慢游喲
In the pale moonlight
淡淡的淡淡的淡淡的月光
I am like a fish in your lotus pond
我像只魚兒在你的荷塘
Just wanting to hold the bright and clear moonlight with you
只為和你守候那皎白月光
Having swum throughout the seasons, the lotus still smells fragrant 
游過了四季荷花依然香
Waiting for you in the middle of the water
等你宛在水中央
I am like a fish in your lotus pond
我像只魚兒在你的荷塘
Just wanting to hold the bright and clear moonlight with you
只為和你守候那皎白月光
Having swum throughout the seasons, the lotus still smells fragrant 
游過了四季 荷花依然香
Waiting for you in the middle of the water
等你宛在水中央
Waiting for you in the middle of the water
等你宛在水中央




Moonlight Over the Lotus Pond - 荷塘月色

This song was originally sung by Faye Wang, the top female singer from China, and it was featured in the Chinese movie So Young in 2013.  My special thanks to Music Extensions for the beautiful piano play in my recording.  I hope you will enjoy my singing.  Thank you all for listening!

Lyrics: 
His unruly face was like the sky getting dark
他不羈的臉，像天色將晚
Her washed hair was like the flame in the heart
她洗過的發，像心中火焰
The short-lived revelry was thought to be everlasting
短暫的狂歡，以為一生綿延
The endless farewell was a banquet of youth
漫長的告別，是青春盛宴
My hands in the winter nights were like a burning-hot oath
我冬夜的手，像滾燙的誓言
Your twinkling eyes were like frail faith
你閃爍的眼，像脆弱的信念
The years of our infatuation were paid back with no mercy
貪戀的歲月，被無情償還
Our self-indulgent temperaments vanished like smoke into thin air
驕縱的心性，已煙消雲散
Driven crazy
瘋了
Exhausted
累了
And hurt
痛了 
The comedy of humanity
人間喜劇 
Laughed
笑了
Shouted
叫了
And walked away
走了 
The absurdity of youth
青春離奇
In the beautiful moments that we held
良辰美景奈何天
For whom we felt the pain and for whom we savored the joy
為誰辛苦為誰甜
The innocent age slipped away
這年華青澀逝去
But it revealed other facets of life
卻別有洞天
In the beautiful moments that we held
良辰美景奈何天 
For whom we felt the pain and for whom we savored the joy
為誰辛苦為誰甜
The innocent age slipped away
這年華青澀逝去
It made us understand the dimensions of time
明白了時間

Driven crazy
瘋了
Exhausted
累了
And hurt
痛了 
The comedy of humanity
人間喜劇 
Laughed
笑了
Shouted
叫了
And walked away
走了 
The absurdity of youth
青春離奇





To Youth - 致青春

This beautiful song touches my heart for its tender sentiments.  I really love the mix of Gu Zheng and the sporadic chirping sound of birds.  How gentle, serene and lovely! I hope you'll enjoy my singing.  Thank you all for listening!  See the lyrics below: 

The shy rose blooms silently
羞答答的玫瑰靜悄悄地開
She bursts slowly the feelings that she holds for me
慢慢地綻放她留給我的情懷
The hand of spring reviews her awaiting
春天的手呀翻閱她的等待　
I am secretly pondering if I should gently pick her 
我在暗暗思量該不該將她輕輕地摘

The shy rose blooms silently
羞答答的玫瑰靜悄悄地開　
She fires slowly the sentiments that she does not admit to
慢慢地燃燒她不承認的情懷
The hand of breeze tentatively tests her awaiting 
清風的手呀試探她的等待
I am secretly hesitating if I should gently pick her　
我在暗暗猶豫該不該將她輕輕地摘

How could I have the heart to accept your love
怎麼捨得如此接受你的愛　
My fond feelings had always turned into sorrow
從來喜歡都會被愛成悲哀
How could I hold you closely to my bosom
怎麼捨得如此攬你入胸懷　
The more I love, the more ill-tempered I become
當我越是生愛脾氣就會越壞

The shy rose blooms silently
羞答答的玫瑰靜悄悄地開　
It slowly withers while it blooms
慢慢地同時凋零同時盛開
The hand of love caresses her awaiting
愛情的手呀撫過她的等待　
I am secretly lamenting why I had not gently picked her 
我在暗暗惆悵竟不曾將她輕輕地摘



The Shy Rose Blooms Silently - 羞答答的玫瑰静悄悄地开

This song is redone.  Many thanks to F.J.R. for his excellent production.  I love the drums and guitar added in the song which increase the intensity and passion while reduce the sentiment of sadness and hopelessness expressed in the original song.  You may want to compare them yourself if you'd like.  See the lyrics below: 

I want to control myself
我要控制我自己　
not allowing anyone to see me crying
不會讓誰看見我哭泣
I pretend that I do not care about you
裝作漠不關心你
do not want to think of you
不願想起你　
and blame myself for having no courage
怪自己沒勇氣

My heart aches so much that I cannot breathe
心痛得無法呼吸　
I cannot find any trace of you left
找不到你留下的痕跡
Watching you with my opened eyes
眼睜睜的看著你　
Yet feeling so helpless
卻無能為力　
I let you disappear at the end of this world
任你消失在世界的盡頭

I cannot find the reason to stay strong
找不到堅強的理由　
As I can no longer feel your affection
再也感覺不到你的溫柔
Tell me where the starry sky is
告訴我星空在那頭　
And if there is an end in that place
那裡是否有盡頭

My heart aches so much that I cannot breathe
心痛得無法呼吸　
I cannot find any traces of yesterday left
找不到昨天留下的痕跡
Watching you with my opened eyes
眼睜睜的看著你　
Yet feeling so helpless
卻無能為力　
I let you disappear at the end of this world
任你消失在世界的盡頭

I cannot find the reason to stay strong
找不到堅強的理由　
As I can no longer feel your affection
再也感覺不到你的溫柔
Tell me where the starry sky is
告訴我星空在那頭　
And if there is an end in that place
那裡是否有盡頭
I’d like to make a wish to the meteor
就向流星許個心願　
To let you know that I love you
讓你知道我愛你







Words to the Star & Wishes from the Heart 星语心愿 - Wenting Liao

My little singing practice. This lovely song sings about the gentle sentiments of a young girl when she is about to part ways with her lover in the silver white moonlight. Please excuse me if you find the singing a bit raw. This is only a singing practice, no auto-tune or other effect added except a bit of reverb. Thank you for listening!

Lyrics: 
The round moon's face
The flat bookmark of the years
Your sweet smiling face 
Is it now time for us to part ways?
I don't have the heart to let you see my teary eyes
I have to say to you
Look, look
The moon's face is secretly changing
The moon's face is secretly changing


Look, Look, The Moon's Face - 你看你看月亮的臉

My a capella singing(清唱). This song is called "Those flowers" (那些花兒) in which the songwriter expresses his nostalgic feelings for his old lovers. Thank you all for listening!

Lyrics:
Lalalala lalalala lalalala
I miss her
Lalalala lalalala lalalala
Is she still blooming
Lalalala lalalala lalalala
She is gone
They have been blown away by the wind and spread all over the world.

Those Flowers 那些花儿 - Wenting Liao

Here is a little sample of my lullaby to pandas for a preview. In this piece, I'm singing in Japanese "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". In the final piece, I'm hoping to sing in English, Japanese and Chinese as a full lullaby to our most adored pandas!

This photo by me shows you the adorable panda cub Jia Pan Pan from Toronto Zoo in August 2016. I had the precious 2 minutes watching him after waiting in an enormous line-up for 2 hours!

My Lullaby to Pandas (Japanese) - Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

I started singing Yue Opera (越劇)when I was 3 years old.  It is the second largest opera in China which is known for its soft, elegant and melodic singing and holds its popularity in the regions around Shanghai. 

Although I did not choose the path to be a professional Yue opera actress, singing has always been one of the best ways of freeing my spirit and expressing myself. Singing is therapeutic. It is an art of mindfulness.

I sing when I'm broken open. 
I sing if I've torn the bandage off. 
I sing in the middle of the fighting.
I sing in my blood.
I sing when I'm perfectly free

Thank you all for listening.

Wenting Liao
