Title: Listen to mom telling stories of her days

It describe a quiet and beautiful summer evening in the countryside.
A group of children are sitting besides a tall barn, listening
to their mother telling stories of old days. At the same time,
breezes are bringing old and familiar melodies from far away.
Above in the sky, the moon is playing hide-n-seek with clouds...

Title: KangDing love song

On a lovely night, a boy is courting a girl of his dream. He is
shy of her, and so is the moon in the sky. She is the best girl
in the town; he is the best boy in the town. The moon is their
witness. In some regions of China, singing now is still an important way
to express their love.


'Backyard Melody'

(Boy + Girl Chorus)
A stallion is galloping on the backyard hill,
A cloud is hiding in the backyard sky,
Moonlight caresses the backyard, smooth and gentle,
T’is backyard is my town,
Sleepless moon yoh - my sleepless town


(Boy)
Her name is Li, so pretty and like a pearl,
(Girl)
His name is Zhang, so brave and like a warrior,
(Boy + Girl Chorus)
Sleepless moon yoh – don’t be shy of her


(Boy)
My backyard girl; she is so pretty and fine,
(Girl)
My backyard boy; he is so handsome and strong,
(Boy + Girl Chorus)
Sleepless moon yoh - he is so handsome and strong


(Boy Chorus)
Pretty girl in my town, you drive me crazy,
(Girl Chorus)
Handsome boy in my town, I am here for you,
(Boy + Girl Chorus)
Sleepless moon yoh – I am here for you
