The Wandering Songstress (天涯歌女) was first heard in the 1937 movie Street Angel (马路天使) where it was performed by the actress Zhou Xuan (周璇).
In 2007, Ang Lee featured the song in his film Lust, Caution (色戒).
LYRICS:
天涯呀海角,
From the end of the earth, to the farthest sea
觅呀觅知音,
I searched for my heart's companion
小妹妹唱歌 郎奏琴,
A young girl sings, while he accompanies her
郎呀, 咱们俩是一条心
Your heart is my heart
家山呀北望,
Looking north from my mountain nest
泪呀泪沾襟,
My tears fall and wet my blouse
小妹妹想郎 只到今,
Missing him, i will not rest
郎呀, 患难之交恩爱深
Only love that lasts through hard time is true
人生呀谁不,
In life, who does not
惜呀惜青春,
Cherish the springtime of youth?
小妹妹似线 郎似针,
A young girl to her man, Is like thread to its needle
郎呀, 穿在一起不离分。
Ah my beautiful man we're like a threaded needle never to be separated
Pictures in Motion, the latest album from the electronic group The Shanghai Restoration Project, pays tribute to classic Chinese films with a collection of twelve mostly original compositions, each inspired by a different movie from the era. Primarily instrumental, the tracks reflect the mood and themes of each film.

我又想起了和外婆在南国炎炎夏日的午后一起听着周璇，白光，姚莉和李香兰他们的上海老歌的日子了。外婆年事已高，许多东西都已经记得不甚清楚了，但是唯独顽固地记得我以及我们常常一起听的《夜上海》的歌词。原来童年记忆对一个人的影响会那么深远，当她作为江南富家小姐的记忆已经远远地被历史碾过了七十年，这样的记忆仍然可以在她心中留下感性的种子。 非常感谢你们的作品，我真的想念带大我的外婆和与她一同无忧无虑的童年时光！

Here after watching “Lust, Caution”. Beautiful song, sounds very special and unique with the modern beat.

[@jasmineromero7334]

Just finished watching "Street Angel" (The movie this song originated from) and I re-watched this music video. Nearly cried, but everything made so much more sense! You can find the english subtitled version on youtube ;D

[@winterfox6930]

Where did you watch it? I wanna watch it too :'(

[@mikmaki99]

you can find it here on youtube and online on archive.com but it doesnt come with built in english subtitles. however, you can download the movie and the subtitles as 2 seperate files, and watch the movie with subtitles on VLC.

I spent five years in China, Two in Shanghai. Somedays I really miss it. I cant just get on a train and go visit, so visiting through culture has to do.

非常优美的翻唱! 这部电影竟然已近百年! 赵丹和周璇，时代竟然可以产生这么美好的人物， 他们又是如何的被那个时代碾的粉身碎骨。
