“On the Moon Above” is a brief telling in song, about the story of the tragic love story of the moon goddess Chang'e, who is a famous character in Chinese folk stories.
The song itself uses a traditional Chinese sound to keep in theme with the traditional story.
[MAMA]
Long ago, an ancient story
Beautiful and kind Chang'e
And a handsome man named Houyi
Were in love
[FEI FEI, spoken]
True love?
[MAMA]
True love
But she took a magic potion
Giving immortality
Then she floated leaving her true love
And she waits for him on the moon above
(spoken)
And that's where she waits now, on the moon
With only jade rabbit to keep her company
[FEI FEI, spoken]
Why?
[MAMA, spoken]
Because Houyi died here on Earth
[FEI FEI, spoken]
And when she cries her tears turn into stardust
[MAMA]
Longing, hoping for her one truе love
Now she waits for him on the moon abovе
[FEI FEI]
Forever?
[MAMA & BABA]
Forever
