第一次听的时候觉得挺别扭，周杰伦和费玉清，一个是唱R&B的，一个是唱美声民歌小调的，听这两人对唱，刚开始的时候真的很不习惯。不过后来看了MV，又多听了几遍，就听出味道了。你还别说，最近好像很流行这种中西合璧的歌曲啊。

The first time I heard it I thought it was really awkward-- Jay Chow and Fei Yu Qing-- one sings R&B, the other sings operatic folk songs. At first I was really unaccustomed to hearing the two of them singing together. But then I saw the music video and listened to it a few more times, and I could understand the appeal. It seems like this kind of song that combines Western and Chinese elements has gotten really popular lately.
