"Tianya genü" (), or "The Wandering Songstress", is one of two theme songs from the 1937 Chinese film ''Street Angel''; the other being the "Four Seasons Song" ().

It is one of the most notable of the Chinese popular songs from the 30s and 40s, and has been described as a song that has "a lingering fame" in China like "As Time Goes By" from the 1942 film ''Casablanca'' in the United States. The song has also been described as "a classic Chinese love song".
==Song title==
In the film, this song was called "''Tianya Ge''", the "The Wandering Song" (), but became better known as "''Tianya Genü''". "''Tianya Genü''" has been translated in various English sources as "The Wandering Songstress", "Singing Girl", "The Songstress of the World", "The Wandering Singer", "Singer at the Sky Edge", and "Singing Girl at the Edge of the World". The varying translations came from the different possible readings of the song title. "''Tianya''" () literally means "sky horizon" that carries the meaning of "at the end of the world", but within the context of the song it also has the figurative meanings of "separation by a long distance" from the phrase "''tianya haijiao''" (天涯海角) which is part of the lyrics.〔(天涯海角 ) Comes from a Tang Dynasty poem by Lü Yan - 天涯海角人求我，行到天涯不见人。〕〔A Critical History of New Music in China - Page 256 Jingzhi Liu - 2010 ".. duets and rounds, including the famous Siji ge (of four seasons ), Tianya genü (sing-song girl ), Qiushui yiren (for her love ), Jialing jiang shang (the banks of the Jialing River ), Pusa man (the tune of Pusa man ), ...〕
