The full text of the lyrics is:

Ren Qing de Lei Yan/lover's tears

Why should I cry for you?

Don't you understand that it's for love?

Only the tears of lovers are the most precious.

Tears are all love, all love.

If it weren't for me and my lover, we would have separated.

My tears will not fall.

Okay, spring is here.

Flowers bloom in spring.

How can you say goodbye?

I looked through the autumn waters in the boudoir.

Don't forget that my feelings are as deep as the sea

Pan Xiuqiong version

Lover's tears "Why should I cry for you? Don't you understand that this is for love? "

Classics from 1960s to 1980s.

Original song: Pan Xiuqiong

She was born in Macau and grew up in Malaya and Singapore. At the age of eight, he won the second place in the children's singing competition. He stepped onto the stage at the age of twelve and became a singer at the age of eighteen. Her voice belongs to the alto, full of magnetism, mellow and soft, and she is even known as the "Queen of Bass Songs" (maybe Cai Qin was pointed out to imitate and learn from Pan Xiuqiong because of her similar voice). Pan Xiuqiong's famous works include "green island serenade", "Every family has a difficult book to read" and "Love in the Thoreau River".

When performing this song "Lovers' Tears", it is said that Pan Xiuqiong really spilled tears on her skirt-not touching songs, but Yao Min's original style, which is different from Pan Xiuqiong's style and scale. The performance was not even satisfactory to herself, so she was so anxious that she shed tears. Fortunately, Yao Min actively cooperated with the revision, and this song "Tears of Lovers" finally spread to later generations.

Tears of Lovers was originally an episode of the movie Love in Xinghuaxi, which was filmed by Shaw & Sons Company in Hong Kong on 1955. The film was directed by Wang, and the collection was composed, written and accompanied by Yao Min, one of the greatest composers of pop songs of that year. Because of its beautiful tunes and delicate feelings, it was deeply loved by the audience and spread widely among the masses as soon as it appeared.

Later 1969, the Taiwan Province Film Studio filmed the movie Tears of Lovers with the same name. Directed by the famous director Li Hsing and starring Zhang Meiyao. Tears of Lover is the theme song of the movie Tears of Lover, and even some songbooks are under this song, which is marked with the theme song of the movie Tears of Lover in Taiwan Province Province. According to the truth, there is nothing wrong with being wrong, just missing its original history.

Yao Min is kind and willing to help and support others. At that time, there were almost no big-name singers in Hong Kong and Taiwan who did not benefit from him, so their popularity was excellent. 1967 When he died in February, the mourning hall was filled with famous singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and everyone sang his famous song "Tears of Lovers" in silence for him. At the end of the song, both the singer and the audience burst into tears.

In today's songbook, most of this song was composed by Du Fen. Although it can't be concluded that Yao Min once published a work under the pseudonym of Du Fen, from the above facts, this work was written by Yao Min.

This song is specially tailored for Pan Xiuqiong. Pan Xiuqiong was one of the top representative singers in China's pop music scene in 1950s and 1960s, and a rare pop singer with a beautiful mezzo-soprano tone at that time. The song is in the key of C, with the lowest tone reaching G, and the second sentence "Tears are falling". She gives full play to her own characteristics and has a big chest, which is worthy of being an artistic song in popular songs.

Yao Surong version

Jay Chou's film "Unspeakable Secrets" is popular all over the country, and Yao Surong's old song "Lovers' Tears" is used in the film, which makes Yao Surong's songs, which have been retired 14, pop again, and Yao Surong himself is deeply surprised.

Yao Surong is currently visiting relatives in his hometown in Chengdu. One day, her niece came back and asked her, "Auntie, the songs in Jay Chou movies sound like you. Did you sing it? " Yao Surong received a letter from her friend in Taipei, but she was still curious. Why did Jay Chou, who has no origin, choose her singing?

Yao Surong said: "I know that he (Jay Chou) is the most popular male singer now. I have seen his "Golden Flower" and heard his and Yu-Ching Fei's "A Thousand Miles Away". This child is very talented. " Jay Chou is a creative genius, and his singing has subverted the Chinese music scene. The reporter mentioned that Yao Surong also composed music in the early music world, so he should be a senior composer. Yao Surong immediately said, "I'm a pediatrician and I can't compete."

In Unspeakable Secrets, Jay Chou takes Kwai Lun Mei to a second-hand CD shop, puts headphones on her and says, "This is my favorite song". At this time, the song from the screen was breathtaking: "Why should I cry for you? Don't you understand/for love ... "The string substrate, full of emotion but so restrained, suddenly attracted everyone.

The answer is Yao Surong. Jay Chou said, "I asked my assistant to buy all the classic old songs and listen to them with Kwai Lun Mei. Finally, I chose Yao Surong because her version is particularly delicious. " Yao Surong recalled: "I sang Tears of Lovers at the invitation of director Li Hsing to make a film of the same name (note 1968). He wanted me to sing the atmosphere slowly, and I sang out my feelings. I didn't expect Jay Chou to like it now. "

Jay Chou not only has ear power, but also has a good eye. Young fans may not be familiar with her, but Yao Surong made her debut in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia before retiring. At the invitation of director Li Hsing, she attended the 30th Golden Horse Awards Ceremony. At that time, she swept the audience with the classic hits "Don't Go Home Today", "Ungrateful Man" and "Flowers Like Fog". Leslie Cheung, who participated in the Golden Horse Award, took the initiative in the background. Because many Hong Kong people learn Mandarin through Yao Surong's songs from primary school, Yao Surong is their idol.

After the Golden Horse Award that year, Yao Surong never appeared in public again. She lives in Kuala Lumpur and lives a happy life. Over the years, invitations from all over Hong Kong and Taiwan to invite her back for a solo concert have never stopped, but Yao Surong said yesterday, "I can't sing. I really want to sing. It's not that simple. If something goes wrong, it's not just the impression of the audience. Why bother? So I have never had the courage. "

Debuted in the early 1960s, 1967 covered an old song "Autumn Water" by Gong, with tears streaming down her face, and was called the queen of tears. It also opened the door to her legendary life. There are many famous songs by Yao Surong, besides the above-mentioned Tears of Lovers, there are dozens of famous songs such as Ungrateful Man, Tears of My Heart, I want to live, Autumn Water, because I love you. Let me explain here that Tears of Lovers is not the original song, but Pan Xiuqiong's. Yao Surong participated in the singing contest hosted by Zheng Sheng Radio Station on 1966, which won the favor of the judges and won the championship. With the help of teacher Weng Qingxi, she signed a contract with Haishan Record Company at that time and entered the entertainment circle, which became an instant hit.

From Yao Surong, Wei Zi and Meidai in Taiwan Province in the early 1970s to Huang Xiaojun, Teresa Teng and Cai Qin in the middle, and now to Sally Yeh, Sandy Lam, Zhou Huajian and Qiqin. These unforgettable old songs have been strung together again like pearls through the cover of singers from generation to generation.
