I’ll take the dream I had last night,
And put it in my freezer,
So someday long and far away,
When I’m an old grey greezer,
I’ll take it out and thaw it out,
This lovely dream I’ve frozen,
And boil it up and sit me down
And dip my old cold toes in.

Na Ying (Chinese: 那英; pinyin: Nā Yīng, less frequently referred to as Natasha Na, born November 27, 1967) is a Chinese vocalist. She is considered as one of the best present-day female singers in Mainland China, having sold more than 10 million albums. She is also noted for her buoyant and forthright personality.[1]
She was born in Shenyang, Liaoning. She is an ethnic Manchu, said to be of the Yehe Nara clan. Na won several national singing contests in the 1980s, and in 1988 began her recording career in Taiwan and Hong Kong.[1]
At the 1998Spring Festival Gala show hosted by CCTV, Na Ying sang a duet “Meet in ’98” (相約一九九八) with her friend Faye Wong. Wong had already achieved fame in Hong Kong and elsewhere, but the performance with Na brought her to superstar status in China itself.[2]
Na Ying had a relationship with Chinese footballer Gao Feng and had a son, but the two broke up in 2005.[3] She married Meng Tong in 2006.
At the close of 2009 she performed the concert “20 Years of Na”, a retrospective of her stage career, at the Capital Gymnasium. Although her 2009 single “The Journey of Love” topped the charts wherever it was released, her early song “Follow Your Instinct” remains her favourite.
