3rd Jan 2014 (容易受傷的女人 (Cantonese version)/容易受傷的女人(Mandarin version) – Faye Wong)

The song that I chose for today is “容易受傷的女人” by Faye Wong. This is one of Faye’s classic. There are two version of this song, one is the Cantonese version and the other is the Mandarin version. I will only focus on the Cantonese version here today. The direct English translation of the title is “A woman that easily gets hurt”.

The lyrics of the song area bout love. The protagonist said that it is getting darker and she is getting more drunk. She feels that they are getting closer now. Her thought are ambiguous and getting more contradictory. Her heart had been broken before, and now she is letting him to get closer; she feels that comfort and questioning are slowly growing in her heart. It is hard for her to hold her feelings now, she knew that she is the type that could easily get hurt. So please don’t come and go, please treasure her heart. If you understand her, then please keep loving this easily hurt woman; don’t wait, just kiss. Having him beside her, she finally found trust; even everything might have been questionable, but being happy means that they are a couple. She was worried about her life, but lucky that he can get closer; from there she knows that her life contain love and helped her to build her confident. Her heart had been broken before, and now she is letting him to get closer; she feels that comfort and questioning are slowly growing in her heart. . It is hard for her to hold her feelings now, she knew that she is the type that could easily get hurt. So please don’t come and go, please treasure her heart. If you understand her, then please keep loving this easily hurt woman. Even if her life ends here, she wanted it to end with a kiss. Having him beside her, she finally found trust; even everything might have been questionable, but being happy means that they are a couple. Hope you will like the song. I have also linked to the Mandarin version for comparison.
