Jiǔ Gàn Tǎng Mài Wú
Fu Qiong Yin Lyrics

The lyrics of Fu Qiong Yin's song Jiǔ Gàn Tǎng Mài Wú evoke a feeling of nostalgia and longing for a loved one who is no longer present. The repeated refrain of "jiǔ gàn tǎng mài wú" (selling empty wine bottles) serves as a metaphor for the emptiness and longing that the singer feels in their heart. The familiar voice that has accompanied the singer through many years of storms represents the lost loved one, who was the anchor and the home that the singer longs to return to. The lyrics convey a deep gratitude towards the loved one who raised and protected the singer, and a sense of loss and emptiness in their absence.

The song also explores the themes of the importance of family and the transience of life. The lines "No sky, no earth, no home; no you, no me" illustrate the deep interdependence and inseparability between family members. The fact that the loved one cannot speak or express their emotions directly highlights the importance of paying attention to and appreciating the subtle ways in which people show their love and care. The song ends with the singer hoping for the return of the loved one, so that they can sing together again, emphasizing the longing for a sense of home and belonging.
