夜來香 Tonkin Jasmine (Chinese) - a Chinese jazz
Written by 黎錦光 in 1944 and made popular by singers Yoshiko Yamaguchi (李香蘭 in Chinese) and Teresa Teng 鄧麗君, this is one of the most well-known Chinese songs in the world. It even has a French version called 'Primevère chanson de Shanghai'. Background music: (120% speed) https://musescore.com/user/32009255/scores/6024629 Lyrics translation (in English): Gently blowing is the cool south breeze. Nightingales softly singing. Under the moon, flowers go to sleep. Only the Tonkin Jasmine (is awake) spreading her fragrance. I enjoy the opaqueness of the night. I adore the singing of the nightingales. Even more, I love those dreams of flowers. (I) hug the Tonkin Jasmine. (I) smell the Tonkin Jasmine. Tonkin Jasmine, I sing for you. Tonkin Jasmine, I think about you. Ahh I sing for you. I think about you. Read more about this song on Wikipedia (in Chinese only): https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-hant/夜來香 (歌曲)
