Song Lyrics

You are the light of the sun and the moon in my heart

Holding the Gesang flower in my hand

It’s so beautiful that I forgot to pick it off

Yours is so fragrant Your fragrance can speak

Your words seem to speak only to me

My specialty is wandering

You are destined to bloom for me

My heart is looking for home, my home has no flowers

My flowers are waiting for me in this valley

If God hadn’t secretly instigated me at the beginning

How do we know when we choose to meet?

You are the sun and moon in my heart

Song Appreciation

The title song "The Sun in My Heart" "Moon" uses a number of ancient Chinese musical instruments such as the flute, dulcimer and six-stringed harp to recreate an oriental peach blossom garden. The smooth and graceful style of the song seems to take the listener to a fairyland on earth. Chinese music such as flute, six-stringed harp, dulcimer, drum and golden hair are used to compose the melody of Western music using the Chinese pentatonic creation method.

It also cites ancient Chinese musical instruments intertwined in it. The faint sound of flute and guzheng are naturally paired with R&B rhythms, allowing the audience to hear a sound that combines Chinese classical beauty and Western music. .
