A Song a day: 27th May 2012 (最悲哀的事

Sunday, May 27, 2012

Today’s song is “最悲哀的事” by Edmond Leung. The direct English translation of the title is “The saddest thing”. Not too sure why this song wasn’t a big hit, as it really got all the potential to become a very popular song.

This song is about a man that really loves a friend of his. He is helping her to organise her wedding, and during this process he wonder why he couldn’t be the groom. In the later section of the song, it talks about that they end up having an affair before the wedding, he didn’t wanted the night to end, but he knows that after that night, they would really be over as she will have to get married with something else.

It is rather a sad story, people who love each other can’t end up together. Although it didn’t mentioned in the lyrics, but I am guessing that the girl have to married with his husband because of her family. If she really love them both, then I think one day her marriage will be broken apart. Anyway, I have paste a link to the song as usual, hope you will enjoy it.
