4th Jan 2014 (南瓜車 – Fiona Sit)

The song that I chose for today is “南瓜車” by Fiona Sit. The direct English translation of the title is “Pumpkin coach”, this is in reference to the story of Cinderella.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said, that day the pumpkin coach arrived at her doorstep and it was full of love. She feels that love is carrying her to the party. But when it gets to 12am, the sweetness was gone, she got kick away after their romance, now she realised that their ending have been changed. If there is no pumpkin coach to get her home, she will use her legs to get back. Being in the fairy tale land, her eyes seem to be covered with imagination, but lucky there was a real car to get her home. At least she have been a princess for a few minutes, ridded on a pumpkin coach and had spent a night with her lover. Although this can’t continue now, but there is no need to get angry. She was so hopeful for their fairy tale, so she should pay the price. Although she still can’t accept it, but as the end comes she needs to learn how to get along with it. There is no need to wait for the orange carriage and no need to fictionalised their relation. When he was trying to date her, there were always flower at her doorstep; she should have guessed that when they separated, there would only be snow. The love castle now becomes a waste land, she rather wishes that she could move on and never got attached to him. If there is no pumpkin coach to get her home, and the metro doesn’t run at night, she would rely on her feet. She cried, but she knows she will get used to it and she will see it through, that would be enough to find her ways and get a ride home. So let this grey coat girl (in Chinese, Cinderella is called “灰姑娘”, meaning “Grey girl”) to say goodbye to the pumpkin coach, and let’s hope that next time when a car arrive, it would be a wedding car. Although she got off halfway, all she wishes is to be able to escape. Hope you will like the song.
