What was she singing?

These videos are kind of short, but this should give you a little taste of Chinese music. We encountered both groups of performers on our walk through one of the gardens. It left us with a nice moment to relax and soak in the culture. Although we had no idea what the woman was singing about, not even Chengyan or Lily could understand the dialect, I still found it to be quite beautiful. I love music, it is a passion...now if only i could get my hands on ones of those instruments...It was disappointing that we did not hear much music elsewhere though as most of what I heard turned out to be English lyrics and "hit" songs from back home...or at least it's considered a "hit" in the U.S. I would however recommend you to look for cds by a very famous cellist "Yo Yo Ma".
