It is the lyrics of "The Curved Moon" written and composed by Li Haiying in 1989 and sung by Liu Huan.

The lyrics of the song are as follows:

The distant night sky

There is a crescent moon

Under the crescent moon

It's the crooked bridge

Beside the bridge

There is a crooked boat

The crooked boat is leisurely

It’s Gillian from my childhood

Gillian is rocking the boat

Singing that ancient ballad

The song is carried by the wind

Tears on my face

Like the crooked river

The crooked river

Flow into my heart

My heart is full of melancholy

Not for the crooked moon

Only for the village today

Still singing the songs of the past

The moon in my hometown

Your curved sadness

Penetrated through my chest

In the distant night sky

There is a crescent moon

Under the crescent moon

Is the crooked bridge

Beside the small bridge

There is a curved boat

The curved boat is leisurely

It is Gillian from my childhood

"Curved Moon" brings people a poetic artistic conception: the night sky, the moon, the boat, the flowing water, the small bridge. These images make people immersed in the quiet and beautiful artistic conception of nature.

What he saw was The unchanged hometown, and Gillian, who still has a rustic flavor, was his childhood love, but now he may be out of place, which makes the author feel melancholy.
