This traditional Chinese folk song tells of a young lad who travels far from his village, holding fond memories of a loved one. After an expressive opening solo, the tempo picks up in this authentic and spirited arrangement, which includes both Mandarin and English text. See below for a pronunciation video spoken by the arranger. Growing up in multiracial Malaysia, Jerry Lim was immersed in various European, American, and Asian music, giving him a unique perspective on integrating Western and Eastern styles.
