28th Feb 2014 (一人有一個夢想 – Vivian Lai)

The song that I chose for today is “一人有一個夢想” by Vivian Lai. This is one of Vivian’s most popular songs. The direct English translation of the title is “Every have a dream”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that if she was told some form of love will end up hurting her, thought she thinks that if she got some happiness from them, then why not give it a try. If she was told that there are some of her qualities that her boyfriend wouldn’t like, then she will believe that not everyone will think like her boyfriend does. She doesn’t know where it comes from, but she can smell some flower and this smell give her some imagination of the future. One person will have one dream. If two people fallen in love then they will slowly get lost in love. With three people, each of them will have their own kinds of love and will search for their own dream. If one person change heart, then it will hurt. But if two people agree then it doesn’t matter. For three people, the love will get bitter and you should stop asking for the truth. The protagonist wonders why every time when she start falling in love, he got nervous. Who is the person that got his heart pumping? Why every time when she got dump, he got relaxed. He shows his emotions on his face. She doesn’t know where it comes from, but she can smell some flower and this smell give her some imagination of the future. One person will have one dream. If two people fallen in love then they will slowly get lost in love. With three people, each of them will have their own kinds of love and will search for their own dream. If one person change heart, then it will hurt. But if two people agree then it doesn’t matter. For three people, the love will get bitter and you should stop asking for the truth. Hope you will like the song.

25th Feb 2014 (種子 – Jacky Cheung and 符潤光)

The song that I chose for today is “種子” Jacky Cheung and 符潤光. This was a song from Jacky’s famous drama “雪狼湖”. Just a note, 符潤光 is one of the casts (sorry I can’t any more info on him from the internet). This song is one of my favourite from the雪狼湖’s sound track. The direct English translation of the title is “Seed”.

The lyrics of the song are about how we should see love. At the beginning, the old gardener told the young gardener that when love start to birth, it is the time that is most powerful. We need to relit the fire in our heart so that we can take on the difficulties in this world. During our life time, we will miss opportunities many times. But we can still search for the truth and try to understand the beauty of this. So pickup your self-confident even if the road ahead changes unexpectedly. Find yourself and when you look up you will be a man again, there is never too late. So carry all the different warms and turn them into a seed of love. Let love growth and let it fill our world. So no matter who got pain from love, every cheering that they get would feel truthful. No matter whether you love stay with you to the end you should still keep this in mind. In the endless road of love, no one will know the ending, so she might still say yes. The young gardener understand now and he realised love is a gift from god. We interact with people to pass on our love. This is the magical step that makes us shine. Hope you will like the song.

24th Feb 2014 (海闊天空 – Beyond)

The song for today is “海闊天空” by Beyond. This is a true classic of Beyond. The direct English translation of the title is “Wider sea, bigger ski”, in meaning, it means “A brighter future”.

The lyrics of the song are about not giving up. The protagonist said that today in the cold night, he saw a snowflake flow across. The snowflake carries the cold heart to a distance place. We chase in the wind and rain, and we can’t see in fog. In the brighter and wider future, would you and I change? Who wouldn’t change? How many times other have laugh at us, but we still keep following our dream. Suddenly we felt that we have lost a lot, and slowly we lost our feeling and our love. Who would understand us? So please forgive him that for his whole life he is acting unruly and love freedom. But he is worried that one day he will fall. It is easy to stop chasing your dream, so let’s not be worried that there would only be me and you left. Still free, and we will sing our own song and run around the mountain. So please forgive him that for his whole life he is acting unruly and love freedom. But he is worried that one day he will fall. It is easy to stop chasing your dream, so let’s not be worried that there would only be me and you left. Hope you will like the song.

23rd Feb 2014 (愛不起 – Dave Wong)

The song that I chose for today is “愛不起” by Dave Wong. This song was a theme song for a movie. While I hate the movie, I quite like its theme song. The direct English translation of the title is “Can’t afford to love”.

 The lyrics of the song are of cause about love. The protagonist said that his special someone could guess all the things that he couldn’t say out loud. This make him realised that he can openly speak out what he wanted. She stared at him from the side, this make him to have feeling towards her, make his heart beats and make him lost control. There are things that he wanted to say to her but not dare. He is scare of being in this situation where he is stuck in the middle. That time he bumped into her on the street, he make a fool of himself, he lost control and he got disappointed. No matter where he hides, he still thinks of her. The world is big and wide, but no matter how bad it is, he will cross the border. Wow, there is no way he could love her. She perhaps will pity him. He loves her, but he can’t afford to love. Wow, he knows that he will never be able to give her the perfection that she is after. The more she is attracted to him, he knows that the fame and wealth that she might be after is harder to get, this make him can’t afford to love her. Hope you will like the song.

22nd Feb 2014 (逃避你 – Joey Yung)

The song that I chose for today is “逃避你” by Joey Yung. This was the first few songs that make Joey popular. The direct English translation of the title is “Avoiding you”.

The song is about love. The lyrics start with the protagonist saying that one of the longest distance is that you know you love someone but you don’t know how to express you love. By thinking, it will just make you colder. She wanted her special someone to agree with her, but she doesn’t know how to do it. One of the longest distances in the world is that you know you love someone but you are not daring to hug him. By waiting, you kill your feeling. She couldn’t see the true face of love, so she is not dare to tough it. Avoiding him, but at the same time she wishes that they could become a couple. Her heart will be toward him regardless. Avoiding him, love is so far away and she is not dare to get closer. She still believes that she can’t be together with him. One of the longest distances is knowing that you still love someone, but you know you couldn’t keep it. Memories, it gets heavier in your heart. But she doesn’t treasure they meet up, is like she lost control of her thought. If she never started with him, then they would never end. Who cares, as the love will stay in her heart and will never stop. Avoiding him, but at the same time she wishes that they could become a couple. Her heart will be toward him regardless. Avoiding him, love is so far away and she is not dare to get closer. She still believes that she can’t be together with him. Hope you will like the song.

21st Feb 2014 (大開眼戒 (A.K.A. 打回原形) – Eason Chan)

The song for today is “大開眼戒” (A.K.A. “打回原形”) by Eason Chan. This was requested by a reader of this blog. I like this song, and I thought I had talked about it already until yesterday when I tried to search for it. This song is very interesting as it got two names. It was said that the song was originally called “打回原形” (in English it means “Back to the original form”), but as it was a song for a skin care product promotion campaign, this name is not suitable (as no one want a product that bring you back to where you started). So they change the name to “大開眼戒” (meaning “Eyes wide open” in English directly, but it means to broaden you view. I guess the skin care product is an eye cream?). This name “大開眼戒” was used when the song first come out. But later on, the lyrics writer of the song, Wyman Wong (a very famous lyrics writer in Hong Kong) thinks that the original name “打回原形” better suit the song, as a sign of respect for the lyrics writer I guess, the song now uses the original name “打回原形”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist think that he is not good enough to fall in love with a girl, and he thinks that if he shows his true self, she will be scare and walk away. It begins with the protagonist asking whether he could leave the light off and kiss with the girl in the dark. He wonders would she still hug him if he shows his true self. He is worry to break the sense of environment and no one knows how dark his heart is. If his true self is so low grade, how could he matches with her. If lover is curious, she would need to be prepared that he might frighten her. But who could be so clean in this world. How could she bear this curiosity, the answer is razor sharp. So he wishes that when they are open to each other, he wouldn’t hurt her. When she is not sure, perhaps she shouldn’t have walked too close. So if he happened to show her all the spots (I guess in the context, it means scars) on his body she could turn around. He was born this way, if they could change is DNA, take it apart and put it back together, he is willing to do so. Regardless of what happen to him as long as she is happy. If lover is curious, she would need to be prepared that he might frighten her. But who could be so clean in this world. How could she bear this curiosity, the answer is razor sharp. But you know, who doesn’t have their little secretes. How many hands and legs would it require for her to fall in love with him without any problems? If she loves him, then don’t trouble him, a few pairs of ears, and just go tango with him (personally I don’t quite get the meaning of this last sentence. I guess broadly it means that if she likes him then just ignore everything else and let him take care of it).  How to bear this curiosity? Is she prepared to fall in love with him? If she like weird people, then he is beautiful. Hope you will enjoy the song.

20th Feb 2014 (你是我的女人 – Andy Lau)

The song that I chose for today is “你是我的女人” by Andy Lau. The melody of the song is written by Kenny G. The direct English translation of the title is “You are my lady”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist questions why a lady would sacrifice herself. HE also wonder what a man could do wrong could hurt her that much. He run around just wanted to find the truth feeling; the impossible truth and the impossible kiss with an impossible person. Keeping her kiss, as she is his lady. Keeping her in memory, he wanted to use a different method to ask her to be his lady. Since she can’t spend her life with him, then he asked her not to waste her youth. Oh baby, he just wants her to remember for life that minute that they spent together. A lady loveable likes her, how could he not be hurt. Why they meet but can’t be together, why dreams can’t turn true. Why their hearts just bump into each other. There is no one in the world would let the person that they love to another person to kiss. Men can’t tell who is the right person he could spend the rest of his life with, and this hurt ladies. It’s fate that they can’t be together. What she got is a scar, which is enough for him to remember for life. He will love and think of her for life, thinking about her lips and wonder when he could kiss them again. Hope you will like the song.

19th Feb 2014 (只要我們還有心 – Janice Vidal)

The song that I chose for today is “只要我們還有心” by Janice Vidal. The direct English translation of the title is “If we still want it”.

The lyrics of the song area bout love. The protagonist said that her boyfriend is losing feeling toward her just like the way she is trying to withstand him. They rather be alone. Who said that forgiving is easier than love, who didn’t heard that it is harder to love as loves go on. The reality is that everyone has tried to avoid love. We can make mistake anytime and everywhere remind us of these mistake. It is good that we still haven’t get to a point of no return. If we wanted to blame something, then just blame that we got what we want too easily. We can’t just give up to compensate on what we lost, we should try to avoid saying mean things too early on. As long as we still want it, there would be a light to guide us even when we had been disappointed. If the light was blow off, then why not just fall to sleep as we will have a clearer mind and love will feel more real when we got a clear mind. After we breakup, we still got hands, so we can start again. So forget the reason why we argue, just remember that when we hug we still got feeling toward each other. If it is so easy to let go, then it would be very difficult to stay behind. But we wouldn’t believe that forgetting is easier. Is it because they see each other too much that he just wanted to think of her but not see her? Why we are worry to make mistakes, but afterward we treasure each other more. If we still haven’t get to a point to believe in destiny, then there will still be miracle, then can we pretend that we never meet. If we still want to, our feeling will rebirth. There are many couples that argue, so why just focus on the one in front. We might have let go of your hand, but afterward, we can start again. So forget about why we argue, just remember that we felt the warm from each other when we hug. If you believe that there is a reason to love, then you will fell that she is still attractive. Hope you will like the song.

18th Feb 2014 (某年仲夏 – Gigi Leung)

The song for today is “某年仲夏” by Gigi Leung. This song was quite popular back in 1996. The direct English translation of the title is “Some year summer”.

This song is about friendship. The lyrics said that the protagonist is thinking about a past summer, the sun and the sand were surrounding her. She was with her friends during this summer holiday and they were so happy. They put down all their work, and cheat about anything. No matter they go, they go together. The summer holiday has past, but when she think about it she still smile. Even though it get further away every second, but the summer holiday still live in her heart and shine. Once upon a summer time, let’s all stay under the sun, and we will know more about each other when we sweat together. Once upon a summer time, she wishes that her friends could come back to enjoy the time again, talk about the different things that had happened and never say goodbye again. Thinking about that past summer, they eat ice kachang and ice cream together. They eat and gain so much weight, and joke on getting diet. The cold winter cut the temperature, and memories is like a warm bed, it could resist the cold and can give us a song in our heart. Hope you will like the song.

17th Feb 2014 (寫得太多 – Juno Mak)

The song that I chose for today is “寫得太多” by Juno Mak. This was a song from 2008. The direct English translation of the title is “Wrote too much”.

The lyrics of the song are about love, thought it should be noted that Juno songs are more abstract, so they are generally hard to understand directly. The protagonist said that he doesn’t want to lie, and there is no need for haven. He wanted her to learn more about hope and think more about their beginning. There is no more writing, and human is muted. So let him use his smile to bring her more feeling. He heard too much about wishes and drams, the more he hears the more he wanted to start again. His senses are open and there are no more worries, but he can hear someone singing. So too much have been written about love, but little is written to clearly explain love. So he wishes that she could promise him to feel love. Snow flake can turn into a fruit, and warm wind can release. That will let her to see through the truth and see the beginning. There is no more writing, and human is muted. So let him use his mental power to let her feel more. The dusts pass by, but there is no need to describe too much. So he heard too much about wishes and drams, the more he hears the more he wanted to start again. His senses are open and there are no more worries, he wishes that she could feel like what she feels like at the beginning. Hope you will like the song.

15th Feb 2014 (失戀哲理 – Jade Kwan)

The song that I chose for today is “失戀哲理” by Jade Kwan. This song is around 1-2 years old. The direct English translation of the title is “Philosophy of breaking up”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist thinking about how to let go of her relationship with her last boyfriend. It ask are you still thinking of your ex? And still cry like rain. Through the break up you have hurt yourself and lost all your self-confident. You feel that you don’t have the strength to love another person and swear that you will be alone. But sadly you bump into him in a restaurant, and it still hurt. Perhaps you fallen in love with a fake future. He should love your dictatorship. Perhaps you can’t stand that he lie to you, but if you can cope with an extra person in this relationship, does that means you relationship will last forever? Breaking up hurt you deeply, you cried like you are about to suffocate and your heart is about to stop beating. But no one will pitty you for this, so please just make yourself stronger. Breaking up to the end and breaking until dead is common sense, it is just like all classic movies have bad ending. Fallen in love in this era is like you have been cursed. Today you might love like you are in honeymoon, but tomorrow you will experience a third person coming into your relationship. It is like running in circle, to learn about sadness and self-entertainment. You scare bleed because you let it happened, so there is no need to break down now. Breaking up, it had once asked you to commit suicide, and this feeling have imprinted into your heart. You felt that you lost your soul, then why not let yourself take a holiday and found someone that you can trust and talk to. You love him so much and it hurt so much. This type of ending doesn’t make sense. It is like if I want you then I must first let you go. Hope you will like the song.
