Internal Exchange Program IV

内部交流 IV

Since last time we had an Internal Exchange Program was almost a year and a half ago.

I dreamed a dream was from the musical Les Misérables. The song was a lament, sung by the anguished Fantine, who had just been fired from her job at the factory and thrown onto the streets. She remembered the happy days and wondered what went wrong in her life. I picked this one as my solo this time.

"Awaara Hoon" (拉兹之歌 ) was an internationally popular song from the 1951 classic Hindi film, Awaara, starring Raj Kapoor. When the song first came out, it immediately struck a chord in audiences from various classes and backgrounds all over India and beyond: in China, in the Soviet Union, in the Middle East. May 2013, in one of the BBC polls, the song was rated the second-greatest Bollywood song of all time. I sang this song with my new singing partner.
