Translator's Note: Note that the title of the song (声声慢) is translated literally as "Slow sounds"; however, the song title is actually based on a poem of the same title written by Song dynasty poet, Li Qingzhao (æŽæ¸…ç…§). Li's poem expresses the poet's yearning for companionship during a time of chaos and loneliness.
