Green Island Serenade is a classic Mandarin Chinese song from Taiwan. It is a beautiful love song, well-known by Chinese people all around the world. I learned this song when I was asked several years ago to participate in a Chinese New Year celebration. It was an honour to finally perform in the first language I learned, from the land of my foremothers. For a video of this song, please visit my website.

Darling, you are floating in the sea of my heart. Let the melody of my song follow the breeze, blowing through your curtains. Let my love go with the flowing water, serenading you. The coconut tree's long shadow cannot hide my gentle love. The clear bright moonlight lights my heart. This green island night appears so peaceful. Darling, why do you keep silent?
