An extreme imagined scene reveals a bond.

Mandarin nostalgic-lament direction · nakasi and enka colours

The narrator escapes through a window, then remembers someone inside; catastrophe and unrequited love become an almost theatrical monologue. Death, a soul and comparisons with a goddess belong to this extreme imagined scene, not a disaster report or a hierarchy of real lives. Care can be heard without accepting sacrifice as a requirement.

The public style suggests nakasi, enka and an imagined 1980s nostalgic sadness. The main lyric is Mandarin; a Hokkien prompt does not establish Hokkien singing. Repeated refrains, alas and Amem remain as published, while a stylistic decade does not date the recording.

[Introl, Piano build] [Verse 1, Mandarin Chinese] 怎么, 大地颤微, 敢不是地震来临, 乘着人们熟睡? 我丢下诗笔跳出窗外, 蓦然记起她还在房内。 [Chorus] 敢不是地震来临, 乘着人们熟睡? 敢不是地震来临, 乘着人们熟睡? [Verse 2] 象黑色的闪电, 我猛冲进去. __alas! 她安然脱险, 我却遭了致命一击。 [Chorus] __alas! 她安然脱险, 我却遭了致命一击。 [Bridge] 象黑色的闪电, 我猛冲进去. [Chorus] __alas! 她安然脱险, 我却遭了致命一击。 [Outro, Piano build] 感谢上帝! 我满意地死去. 魂灵似乎正听到, 她在为我哭泣。 [break, instrumental build] [Chorus] 九泉之下我微笑安心: 一个完美的女神, 要抵得多少 我这样的凡人, Amem!
