A Night in Delingha – Lyrics and Music by Dao Lang, Harmony by Yun Duo. Looking out the window, I see the traffic going on amidst the rain; I still can’t clearly remember who came into my dreams last night. After all, I dare not touch the wounds that have just begun to heal. Please be patient, wait a little longer. Who was it that collected all my tears from last night into a glass of wine? Can this short night turn pain into something without regret? After all, tears aren’t just raindrops falling outside the window carelessly; once they break, they fly away with the wind. Who is crying outside the window, causing my heart to break? The sound of rain against the windows brings such sadness. For a moment, I embrace the beauty you gave me. Though I was prepared for countless possibilities, who would have thought my heart would break like this? Who is crying outside the window, breaking my heart? A rose battered by the rain on the path of love—withering under the burden of love and hate. Let pain, sorrow, and grief turn into raindrops, flying away with the wind. Chorus: (Oh snowy mountains, shining with silver light. Oh eagles, soaring through the skies. The spring scenery in the highlands is so beautiful; how can I not sing?)
Old Fish, being in a foreign land – is that cause for melancholy?
The rivers and seas are vast, the heavens and earth seem boundless; flowers bloom in silence, while mountains stand tall and waters flow on endlessly.
A song featuring the collaboration between Dou Lang and his disciple.
Who is crying outside the window? Their tears break my heart. The rain hitting the windows sounds so sad
Dou Lang went to Delingha following another famous person; he wanted to be in a place where he could feel the presence of that person. The person Dou Lang followed was also troubled by love, and he wrote verses that made this city famous among literature lovers
It is said that the song \"Love Song of the West Sea\" which became extremely popular last year was also written by Dou Lang in this city
The song “Love Song of the Western Sea” was written and composed by Dou Lang. The lyrics are beautiful and moving, while the melody brings tears to one’s eyes. It is said that the theme of the story in \"Love Song of the West Sea\" was based on what Dou Lang heard firsthand during his field trips in the Qinghai Plateau. Dou Lang is truly a master of writing lyrics; with his keen and unique perspective, he delves into the emotional world of the male and female protagonists behind the lyrics and music, telling the world about the experience of separation and pain that the female protagonist endures after losing her partner. Xixikeli, located on the borders of the motherland, is a sanctuary for Tibetan antelopes. To protect these rare animals and for the sake of this noble cause, it was not imagined that her beloved would leave once and never return to be with the heroine again. As the song goes, “I’m waiting anxiously for a warm spring at the top of the snow-capped mountains,” yet I “can’t wait for the blue sky over the Western Sea.” “Love is like a kite with its string broken”; it’s no longer possible to continue this relationship, and we can’t return to how things were before. This song has been sung by Dalang as well as Jiang Yangzhuo Ma; it’s sung with deep emotion, as if expressing sorrow and pain. Although there are no scenes of extreme anguish, everyone who listens is moved and fills with admiration for it.
It’s a shame that Dou Lang’s appearance isn’t suitable for performing his songs live; his rough, loud voice and delicate facial features can easily create a misconception. I really like Dou Lang’s songs. It is said that he has a song written for his ex-wife, and the lyrics are quite sad, but I’ve never heard it
It must be this song; both the lyrics and melody of Dou Lang’s songs are quite touching
