This video was recorded impromptu while I was doing gardening and listening to this beautiful music. By the the time I didnt really bothered by the lyrics, I just loved the music. It recorded the time of my life spent in my garden.
I am in my happiest mood, on the condition of nice weather, when I am in the garden touching the flowers, planting the plants, potting around and getting my hands dirty with soil or singing to the birds and flowers. Gardening is my best time for listening to music or audio books.
This song along with its album was newly released in China and became the biggest hit in the pop music history. It was written and composed by Dao Lang, a popular, well known Chinese pop star. It's a love song with historical story.
By listening to this song again and again I was quite taken in by its lyrics and I read the story book. The lyrics of this song was wonderfully written and tear-jerking.
In this song the girl expressed her longings in the hope to meet her lover again who was killed. He wore dark brown clothes when he died, showing his was from poor family. The girl, who wore yellow clothes from a rich family, drowned herself for him in defence of her love against her parents' will. A wizard man was moved by the love story and he tried to help the lovers to meet again in their next life. He accidentally made a mistake by dialling his rulette wheels wrongly with the time and places. Therefore the couple appeared in the wrong time and wrong places and had never met again.
This story was written into a fiction book by Pu Songling 蒲松龄(1640 - 1715). The tune of this music 时调 was popular folk music in Song Dynasty (960-1279).

Music: Flower Demon 花妖, by Dao Lang 刀郎
花妖 Flower Demon
我是那年轮上流浪的眼泪 I am a drop of drifting tear on the time rotary
你仍然能闻到风中的胭脂味 You still can smell my fragrance in the wind
我若是将诺言刻在那江畔上 If I engrave my promise on the bank of river
一江水冷月光满城的汪洋 The silver moon will shine on river like floods
我在时间的树下等了你很久 I waited for you so long under the tree of time
尘凡儿缠我谤我笑我白了头 Civilians mock & laugh my hair turning grey
你看那天边追逐落日的纸鸢 Look the kite chasing the setting sun faraway
像一盏回首道别夤夜的风灯 Like a midnight light waving goodbye
我的心似流沙放逐在车辙旁 My heart like drifting sand stops at cart rut
他日你若再返必颠沛在世上 We will meet when you return to the world
若遇那秋夜雨倦鸟也淋淋 I'm like a drenched bird in the autumn night rain
那却是花墙下弥留的枯黄 A withered flower under the wall of flowers
君住在钱塘东 You live in the east of Qiantang
妾在临安北 I am in the north of Ling An
君去时褐衣红 You wore brown clothes when you were gone
小奴家腰上黄 I wore clothes in yellow
寻差了罗盘经 The mistake on rulette wheel
错投在泉亭 Misplaced the time and places
奴辗转到杭城 I went to Hangcheng
君又生余杭 You came to Yuhang
