30th Apr 2013 (漫步人生路 – Teresa Teng/ひとり上手 – Nakajima Miyuki 中島美雪)

The song that I chose for today is “漫步人生路” by Teresa Teng. This is one of Teresa’s iconic songs. The original Japanese version was sung by Nakajima Miyuki (who also wrote the melody) and it was call “ひとり上手”. The direct English translation of the title is “Stroll the road of life”.

The lyrics of the song are about life. It said that when the protagonist is with her love one, she never feels tired and they stroll through every stage of their life. They have reached a climax but at the same time they see another climax that they could reach, so there is always a dream that they try to turn into reality. The road of life could be bumpy, but they are not scared about it. They wish their life could be a mix of happiness and sadness. There is no need to worry about our future, instead we should enjoy what’s surrounding us. No matter it is sad or happy, every day we should found something new in our life. So let the wind blow and give us challenges as these will not stop us from moving forward. Hope you will like the song. I have linked both Theresa’s version and the original Japanese below.
