I was born and grew up in a little Hakka village in Malaysia.
Now all I can remember were the rubber trees and tin mines in the the outskirts
of my village. I do recall the wonderful picnics we had in the unused tin
mine ponds.

Hello Elaine,

I suppose you have heard of Mahan, an Indian young man singing Mandarin
songs.

Mohan was born and grown up in Tanjong Tualang (please refer to the map
of Kinta District) and he obtained his Chinese education from a Chinese
High School called Yuk Kwan High school in Batu Gajah 華都拿也育群華文中
學 (Yen Loong's Alma Mater). Mohan has become a famous Mandarin singer in
Malaysia. (Note; My hometown is Pusing).

(合唱)
朵朵白云 , 飛向我的故鄉 ,
青山蔥蔥 , _歌嘹亮 ,
看那東方 , 鮮紅的朝霞 ,
歌唱我的故鄉。

朵朵白云 , 飛向我的故鄉 ,
江上風波 , 漁舟蕩漾 ,
看那東方 , 鮮紅的朝霞 ,
歌唱我的故鄉。

楊柳青青 , 風和日暖 ,
燕子飛過短牆 ,
百花齊放 , 鳥語花香 ,
蝴蝶翩翩四方。

朵朵白云飛向我的故鄉 ,
田野蒼翠 , 一片麥浪 ,
看那東方 , 鮮紅的朝霞 ,
歌唱我的故鄉。

Lu Dao Xiao Ye Qu by Vienna Teng

The original song was sung by Zi Wei (紫薇), but this song is by Vienna Teng,
an American Chinese who taught herself to sing Mandarin songs.

Lu Dao Xiao Ye Qu (Green Island Serenade)

綠島小夜曲 - 歌手 - Vienna Teng
(an ABC who taught herself to sing Mandarin songs)

The Chinese version
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHQaUCsq0YM&feature=related

Translated into English translation
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNJPsWIV6DY

綠島小夜曲

這綠島像一隻船
在月夜裡搖呀搖
姑娘喲妳也在我的心海裡飄呀飄
讓我的歌聲隨那微風吹開了妳的窗簾
讓我的衷情隨那流水不斷的向妳傾訴
椰子樹的長影掩不住我的情意
明媚的月光更照亮了我的心
這綠島的夜已經這樣沉靜
姑娘喲妳為什麼還是默默無語

Of all the versions by other singers I have listened,
I think, this version by an American Chinese girl,
Vienna Teng, is the best. I give her 10 out of 10
