鄧麗君 (Teresa Teng)

Songwriter: Jerome Kern Otto Harbach

They asked me how I knew
My true love was true
I of course replied
Something here inside cannot be denied

They said someday you'll find
All who love are blind
Oh, when your heart's on fire
You must realize
Smoke gets in your eyes

So I chaffed them and I gaily laughed
To think they could doubt my love
Yet today my love has flown away
I am without my love

Now laughing friends deride
Tears I can not hide
Oh, so I smile and say
When a lovely flame dies
Smoke gets in your eyes
Smoke gets in your eyes

One of the most famous singers to come from the Chinese-speaking world, Teresa Teng (1953-1995) performed and recorded in Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, Japanese, Indonesian, and English. Born in Taiwan, she showed musical talent from an early age, her big break coming from performing on a TV talent show in 1968. Having come from a military family, she frequently performed for soldiers, thus earning the nickname “The Soldiers' Sweetheart.” Following her death from an asthma attack, she was given a state funeral in Taiwan.
