23rd Nov 2012 (傳說 – Rowena Cortes)

The song that I chose for today is “傳說” by Rowena Cortes. This song is the ending song of a Japanese cartoon “千年女王”. I guess many people in Hong Kong who born in the 80’s would remember this song as the cartoon was so popular back then. Anita Mui also sings this song, though I am not sure why they change the singer. The direct English translation of the title is “Legend”.

The lyrics of the song are really just describing the protagonist of the cartoon. It said that legend has it that there was a queen that has long hair and her eyes were like stars. She is very beautiful but also mysterious. The meaning of the song is not so important, I am quite sure anyone in Hong Kong who was born in the 80’s would heard this song before and would probably bring them back some memory. Hope you will like it as well.
