The
song that I chose for today is “失戀於戈壁沙漠” by Joyce Lee. Joyce was quite
famous in the late 90’s, one of her most famous song was “無悔愛你一生”,
which was the theme song of the second longest TV drama (“真情”) in
Hong Kong. The direct English translation of the title is “Lovelorn in Gobi
desert”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. It begins by telling us that the protagonist
feels cold even though she is dried up by lovelorn. Everything is so dry and
her heart is already dry up. She went outside of her tent and look at the sun.
She wipes her sweat off by her hand. A couple in love in the desert is moving
closer. In love in the desert burn more energy and added temperature. This
burning Gobi desert, she is exploring by herself. Even if love is an illusion,
she is willing to search for it. Lovelorn in Gobi desert, she wanted to find
some happiness. Hot air is rising and she saw the beautiful scenery from a
distant, people like to believe this illusion. In the sand, there is a warning
sign, it said a thunder storm is approaching, so please go home and stop doing
anything that you are doing. She ignores the sign and didn’t stop to hide under
cover. Too naïve. Hope you will like the song.
