From Jasmine to Turandot 从茉莉花到图兰朵 - Echoes of Ancient Tang Poems 唐诗的回响新年音乐会

#茉莉花 #HappyChineseNewYear #SpringFestival
好一朵美丽的茉莉花
芬芳美丽满枝桠又香又白人人夸
让我来将你摘下送给别人家
茉莉花呀茉莉花
What a beautiful jasmine flower
Sweet and charming on the branch
So fragrant, so white, so adorable
Shall I pluck you off
And give you to someone?
Jasmine O jasmine

O living sun
O eternal one
Light of the world, of love
We laugh and sing in the infinite sun of our happiness
Glory to you
