The
song for today is “天下無雙” by Eason Chan. This one
is requested by one of the reader of the blog. I was going to write about this
song a long time ago, but was a bit reluctant as I know that the lyrics were
written by Richard Lam (林振強). His lyrics are typically
very hard to translate as they are usually more abstract and he uses lots of
Chinese phrase, which are hard to do translation with as there usually aren’t a
direct English phrase that could fully match the meaning. But I will try my
best for this song. The title, if translated directly into English is “World, no
double”. In terms of meaning, it is “There is no such other match that could match
this one in the world”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. This song is very often used in wedding, as
it describes pure love. The protagonist said that when things didn’t go his
way, she will give him courage. When it is windy and rain, she will ask him
whether he feels cold and provide him with warm. Her touching eyes will relieve
him from confusion and tiredness. She will never change, and there is always a
tacit understanding between them. In the log road of life, he will find his
purpose when he is with her. Even when life is difficult, it wouldn’t make him
disappoint about life because she, the one he loves, is with him. She never
said confused or tired. She never calculates her gain. She always gives and
never stops. She shares his burden without asking anything in return. He never
said it before, but this he said thanks to her, because her love make him
complete. She is the person that he treasures the most. She is his everything,
and she makes his life shine. If she asked who in this world couldn’t find a
perfect match? It will make yesterday and tomorrow shine. He would answer: no
one could match him as much as she does. He is so please that they are a pair.
They celebrate for life that in the world there are millions of people but he
managed to meet her. He wanted to tell her that on this Earth, there is no one
that could make him feel he wanted to run toward to. Hope you will like the
song. If you like this song, also listen to “幸福摩天輪” by Eason Chan. They are
very similar song, both are popular in wedding.
