8th May 2012 ((巴黎沒有)摩天輪 – Ivana Wong)

Today’s song is “(巴黎沒有)摩天輪” by Ivana Wong. This is one of the song that I like by Ivana. The direct translation of the title in English is “(Paris doesn’t have) Ferris wheel”. This is a sad love song.

Some people might ask why put “Paris doesn’t have” in a bracket. I personally think that this is to added the mood to the song. In the lyrics, the first line, it say “Everyone, close your eyes, imagine we are having breakfast at Arc de Triomphe”. Slowly and slowly, through the lyrics it tells us that this girl is traveling around Paris with her boyfriend. And then they ride on a Ferris wheel and enjoy the starry night of Europe. The girl questioned in her heard why there is a Ferris Wheel (as there isn’t a Ferris Wheel in Paris), but then she come up with the reason that it is there to make her feel happy, and if that’s the reason, she told herself how could she not believe it. The boyfriend also proposed in the Ferris wheel, and she accepted. Then the girl open her eyes (remember that at the beginning she closed her eyes), and she realised that the whole journey was just her imagination. It would be good to travel with her boyfriend, but she said she don’t have the luck to do so.

I found the song quite sad. When I listen to this song, I really closed my eyes, and the lyrics turns into pictures. When it get to the ending, I feel a bit sad. I think this is what I like about this song, it got the power to change your emotions. Hope you will enjoy this song as much as I do.
