20th Feb 2013 (揭曉 – Kit Chan)

The song that I chose for today is “揭曉” by Kit Chan. Kit is a singer from Singapore. She was quite famous, at one point was stared in Jacky Cheung’s musical “雪狼湖” and got very famous in Hong Kong. From memory, it was at that time she started to get into the Hong Kong market and produced a number of Cantonese songs. This song “揭曉” was one of those that were produced at that time. The direct English translation of the title is “Announced”.

The lyrics of the song are quite unusual. At the beginning of the song, the protagonist’s friends were surrounding her and congratulating her. They were all surprise that she announced that she will be getting married. They were all happy for her, saying that they will help her to choose her wedding dress. All her friends were so excited, saying how lucky she is to be with him. They all go to search for a good day for her to get married, as getting married on a good day means good fortune. At the same time, she can’t take it anymore, mentally breakup and start crying. She announced that her boyfriend had left her, to cover up her pain, she laugh at herself, saying that she could finally be free from his control. Now everyone is silence. Love is gone, but it left behind a joke for her. Her friends tried to comfort her and try to find out why he left her. She wonders who’s the lady in her wedding dress that makes him so determined to breakup with her. She is now living in pain and completely collapsed. But she understands that the love between him and her are gone, but her life is not finished yet. Hope you will enjoy the song.
