The
song that I chose for today is “假如” by Teresa Carpio (杜麗莎).
This song is one of Teresa’s classic. Teresa is a Chinese- Filipino mix, she
was quite famous in the 60’s through to 80's. These days, she teaches singing, many of her
students are big star in Hong Kong, including Sammi Cheung (note that she went
to Teresa to improve her singing skill during her career. The direct English translation
of the song title is “If”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that if her boyfriend
wanted to break up with her, or if he really wanted to breakup, please wipe all
her happy memories, that way it could avoid her from pain. If he really wants
her to breakup with him, please don’t let her know. If her eyes are all dried
without tears, could he please not leave her alone. All she hopes for is to
keep him in her heart. The love that left behind and that protection from love.
Please let her hope that in the future, he will understand her pain. If he
doesn’t let her to live with him anymore, then there is no need for her to
exist. If it is her fate that she can’t be with him, then there is no point to
have fate. Hope you will like the song.
假如 – Teresa Carpio
