Goodbye My Love (Chinese: 再見, 我的愛; pinyin: Zai Jian, Wo de Ai Ren) is a Mandarin studio album by Taiwanese recording artist Teresa Teng. Goodbye My Love was released as her first record under Polydor Records in Taiwan on September 10, 1975. The album's material consists of Mandarin versions of songs from her first Japanese album, Kuko / Yukigesho (1974).

Background and release

Love Songs of the Island: Goodbye My Love (島國之情歌: 再見, 我的愛人) was released in September 1975. It served as the first installment of Teng's "Love Songs of the Island" album series; the last record of which would be Love Songs of Island, Vol. 8: Messengers of Love in June 1984.

Songs

"Goodbye My Love" is a song that was originally performed by Japanese singer Ann Lewis in 1974. It was composed by Masako Hirao, while the lyrics were penned by Rei Nana. Teng ventured into the Japanese market in 1974 to expand her musical career. During that year, she included the Japanese rendition of "Goodbye My Love" on her debut Japanese album, Kuko / Yukigesho, which was released under PolyGram Records in October 1974.

The following year, in 1975, Teresa Teng released the Chinese version of the song as part of the album Goodbye My Love. It quickly became a signature piece in her repertoire and a staple in her concert performances.
