The
song that I chose for today is “我來自北京” by Leon Lai. The direct English
translation “I am from Beijing”.
The lyrics
of the song are about love. The protagonist asked why he was troubled like a campanula.
When he steps onto the street again, he didn’t know where to go. Why it is like
the rind never stop and that there is always something troubling him. Why she
hasn’t understood his facial expression, and that they can’t seems to
communicate. He wishes that she could agree today and told everyone that they
are in love. He wonders whether she understands the rule for love. “I, I, I was
born in Beijing” he doesn’t know who determined his fate. “I, I, I was born in
Beijing”, he can’t express his love clearly. “I, I, I was born in Beijing”, but
she is passionate and romantics. “I, I, I was born in Beijing”, it is
impossible to clearly explain his life in one night. Why it feels like that
there is a ghost in his head, and all he could think of is dawn. Why it feels
like he wouldn’t get anything in return for his love, and no matter what they
do together he doesn’t feel that they are connected. In their life journey,
there were a lot of departures in the past, he felt that it was fate that
brought them together. He wanted to stop, but it seems that she hasn’t make up
her mind yet. Hope you will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “借借你肩膀” by Daniel Chan. The
direct English translation of the title is “Borrow your shoulder”.
The
lyrics of the song are about finding someone for support. The protagonist said
he had walked a thousand miles after a thousand miles and he can’t feel any
worry. Blinking his eyes, blinking his eyes, he still hasn’t cried. He sees
himself a few times working so hard. Walked across a few mountains alone; fixed
many things by his hands without help. He listened to his foot step and thought
about he managed it all, without knowing whether she is standing behind him. No
matter how strong you are, you need a shoulder. At least in the dark you could
find some support. Borrowing your shoulder could help him feel less lonely.
Even if he will get lonely, at least he knows he got somewhere to return to. If
he got lost one day, she could accompany him to get lost. He wanted to fall
into someone when he feels tired and weak. If he is careless, he wanted someone
to be with him. When they are together, he is not worry to be weak nor fall
over, but worry that they are not synchronised. Being together could be more
beautiful, but worry that they are not synchronised. Being together, he is not
worry to be weak nor fall over, but worry that they are not synchronised. Hope you
will like the song.
Got a
little busy yesterday so didn’t manage to write a post, this one will fill in
for yesterday, the one for today will be coming soon.
The
song that I chose for yesterday was “女魔術師的催眠療法” by Candy Lo. The direct English
translation of the title is “Female magician hypnotherapy”.
The lyrics
of the song are very fantasy. The protagonist said to forget about it and go to
sleep. Forget about it, go and take a bath, forget. Rose, mixed with wine and swallowed.
Put the moon you your face and let the music begin. The rose is growing, and
let the fresh flower to cover your body. Dance at night but didn’t brought
along your map. There is wave, but no wind. Traveling in the cloud and going
toward to the moon. Read the wrong door sign, reached the cliff side and the
snow blowed to the face. There is no end to this, and the spirit walked across
at night. Got lost in that magic sleeping land. This weird place could be
counted as a hidden treasure. If you believe you will get happiness. Hope you
will like the song.
The
song for today is “生日快樂” by Grace Ip. This song is also
sing by Eric Kwok, the song writer and Grace’s husband. I think Grace is the
original singer, but I guess most people are more familiar with Eric’s version.
Both versions are quite different in feeling, while Grace’s version sounds more
sad, Eric’s version sounds more happy (but note that the lyrics are different).
The direct English translation of the
title is “Happy birthday”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that at dawn, the glass
broke and the candle is blow offed like the air has all burned out. The perfume
that she put on, is now all turned into steam. Even if it was very strong, she
didn’t remember that he smelled it. Happy birthday, she let that exciting her
in the mirror to think about the protagonist of today. She wishes that he is
with his love. She also wishes that she could memorise this moment. Happy
birthday, she just wanted her empty body to be filled by happiness again. She wishes
that this signal could be fallen into his pocket and helps her to kiss him on
his shoulder. At dawn, the glass broke and the candle is blow offed like the air
has all burned out. The perfume that she put on, is now all turned into steam. Even
if it was very strong, she didn’t remember that he smelled it. Happy birthday,
she wishes that her empty soul could dream about the protagonist today. She
wishes that after their happy time, she could be fallen in love with him, but
now she is too tired and stayed in bed. . Happy birthday, she just wanted her
empty body to be filled by happiness again. She wishes that this signal could
be fallen into his pocket and helps her to kiss him on his shoulder. Hope you
will like the song. I have also linked Eric’s version, so that you can have a
better idea of how different the two song are.
The song
that I chose for today is “暗戀你” by Jacky Cheung. This song is
rather old. The direct English translation of the title is “Crush on you”. This
song is the Chinese cover version of the Japanese song “Sentimental Christmas”
by 浜田省吾.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that in the sea of
people, would she know that his spirit isn’t there. His love end like wind,
there are no future; he never had turely fallen in love. Hard to withstand,
would she knows that in someone heart, her laughter is like tides, moves ups
and downs. This is call cute, he is truly in love. Who could give her
tenderness each night? But each night, he feels pain quietly. Perhaps this is
the truth, and there wouldn’t be any dreams; but it would be enough if she
knows. He once waited for his love on the street, and tonight, he did it for
her again, just like at the beginning when he had a crush on her. Hope you will
like the song. I have also linked to the original Japanese version for comparison.
The
song that I chose for today is “晚晚禮拜六” by Pong Nan. The direct English
translation of the title is “Every night is Saturday”. This song was from 3
years ago. It was a song that Pong aimed to do something different than his
usual. It was quite successful, as the song sounds a lot more ‘fun’ than his
usual, but personally I didn’t like it too much, as I like his old style much
more.
The
lyrics of the song are about having fun. It said that Imelda come and visit
every Tuesday. That second generation, wear his suit every Sunday. He also put
his hand in the pocket, and hides in the corner to stare at the protagonist.
Everyone tried their best, it is like as if tomorrow is the brightest day. The
last day of the year, then it is the first day of the year. He still remembers
that her name is Isetan. If her normal day is not relax enough, then at night
order a glass of nice wine to relax more. Tomorrow is like the end of the
world, you should try to loosen yourself. Every night is like Saturday, which vegetarian
doesn’t eat meat? Every night is like Saturday, your wine have added poison
already. That noble is drinking yogurt and eating pop-corn. Brother Sing and
Uncle Tin are warming up the champagne for bath. They wear their uniform and
told Mary that she is wasting her life. They come here together to play hard
like there is no tomorrow. Last day of the year and then the start of the year,
he remembers that the husband of the rich lady got Kwan as surname. If you
everyday life is so normal, then you need to get excited at night. Tomorrow is
like the end of the world, so it is ok to loosen yourself. He scare, his jokes,
all like winds that just blowed away. Talk about her stitching skill, or his
cigar, he liked them both. From Monday to Sunday, he welcome everyone to treat
wine like tea. Tomorrow is like the end of the world, then let loosen ourself.
Hope you will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “靜止 (給時間)” by Chet Lam. The direct English
translation of the title is “Still (give time)”.
The
lyrics of the song are about relaxing. It said wind will blow, cloud will float
and time is till. How much higher did the flower and grass next to the river
growth? Bird flew away due to the season, and all it left is a clear land. Let
forget about the stressful things for a while. Fallen leave will follow the
river to float to the mountain far away. How many of those flower and glass
next the river have die. So still that it is like a picture, like nothing have
changed. Time has calmed everything down. Sometime the tree will fall down, and
the sky will brighten up. Sometime tears will drop, so don’t be too stress. Sometime
without music but your heart could lightly sing. In dead silence, people passes
by. Oh, sometime tree will fall, and quiet as usual. Hope you will like the
song.
The
song that I chose for today is “目黑” by Endy Chow. Endy is not
an active singer as he is working for his family business, but in the early 00’s,
he was quite popular. The direct English translation of the title is “Meguro”
or “Black eye”. Both translation suit the title as the lyrics of the song plays
with words and used both definitions.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that his life have been
change when he first saw her. they looked at each other and got nothing to say
because their meet up were to simple. The land is like pitch black, and only
her shadow is clearly shown. Walking in Tokyo under the moon, and both of them
forgot that it got cold at night. Black eye, in the journey, they saw a lot of scenery.
But on the road, everyone doesn’t have a name. Walking slowly, there are stars
on the sky at night in Meguro. Crossing over this time, but next time they
might not pass this place again. Sitting in the Mos Burger in Meguro, they used
their hand to communicate as they both know a bit of kanji. They looked at each
other and feel that it is the end of their story. But in the last few years, he
gets a red face when he thinks about this. Black eye, in the journey, they saw
a lot of scenery. But on the road, everyone doesn’t have a name. He asked
himself, he had once gazed at the starts at this location, but he never been
invited. Hope you will like the song.
The song
that I chose for today is “家有小熊” by Gigi Leung. I remember I used
to listen to this song a lot, repeated it so many times to a point that my
sister get annoyed when she hear the intro of the song. The direct English translation
of the title is “A little bear at home”.
The
lyrics of the song are about a teddy bear that the protagonist made and how it accompanies
her throughout her life. The protagonist said that the teddy bear always stay
at her home, a small home. The teddy bear is like it doesn’t speak, it
accompanies every day to school, and they talk about all the secretes. In the
past, a girl with glasses uses a needle, carefully crafted it. Every time when
she feels sad and cried, it was there to share her pain. She loves to analyse
him with teddy every night. She said that she might have been lucky, and it
might get a bit angry as it worry that it might not be able to share the bed
with her. Hugging the bear; turn off the light and they talk about everything.
White hair, it dance in the dark and it pray for her at night secretly. Always stay in her home, a small home. The
teddy bear is like it doesn’t speak; it workout with her, when she dance, it
dance as well. Always stay in her home, a small home. The teddy bear is like it
doesn’t speak, it accompanies every day to school, and they talk about all the secretes.
In the past, a girl with glasses uses a needle, carefully crafted it. Every
time when it get a scare, she spent a lot of time to fix it. She loves to analyse
him with teddy every night. She feels that it bring her luck, as it tell her to
get more beautiful every day. Hope you will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “激光中” by Roman Tam. This song is one of
Roman’s classic. The direct English translation of the title is “Inside laser”.
The
lyrics are about how songs could touch you. It said, light plus heat equal fire;
fire plus song equal him. If him plus songs plus you, the temperature will rise
even more. So you should get close to him, and stop blocking yourself away.
This moment you are belong to him, so you can’t block away from him, hey. Hand
over you night to him, as he will sing for you. He will try his best, inside the
laser, he will use a thousand songs to lock you in. No matter what is your
surname or your star sign; as long as you got ears he will make you crazy. He
wanted to touch you; using his songs to touch your heart. This moment you
belong to him, you will not be able to withstand. His voice is like a burst of
laser, he is heating up and starting to shine; these are hitting her and make
her heart on fire, making her body shine and start to shake in the laser. This
moment you are belong to him, so you can’t block away from him, hey. Hand over
you night to him, as he will sing for you. He will try his best, inside the
laser, he will use a thousand songs to lock you in. hope you will like the
song.
The song
for today is “流星” by Faye Wong. I have completely forgotten about this
song until I heard it again yesterday. It was quite popular in the 90’s. The
direct English translation of the title is “Meteor”.
The
lyrics of the song are about the relationship of the protagonist with her
boyfriend. She said she is at the edge of the sea and he is at the edge of the
sky. Two stars that meant to exist at the same time. They correspond to each
other, but never get close to each other, just like she and him, quietly corresponding
to the other. She wonders whether this is called lingering or destroying. It
has been too long, she can’t take it anymore, she wanted to escape from his
tender universe. Become a meteor, no matter which direct she fly, there will
always be a shining memories behind her. She is a meteor, she got a dream, to
leave him, and her beauty will disappear. Between them, there doesn’t seem to
be anything but a crying galaxy. He is Niu Lang, but she doesn’t want to be Zhi
Nu, she doesn’t want to continue the sad poem (note that Niu Lang and Zhi Nu are
from a Chinese mythology. They are a pair of couple that got separated and only
allowed to see each other once a year. I managed to found an English version of
the story, click here if you are interested). She doesn’t want it to go on like
this, she doesn’t want them to destroy themselves. It has been too long, she
can’t stand it any longer. She wanted to go back to their peaceful time. Become
a meteor, no matter which direct she fly, there will always be a shining
memories behind her. She is a meteor, she got a dream, to leave him, and her
beauty. Become a meteor, no matter which direct she fly, their memories will
always be behind her. Unlimited meteors, she only got one wish, which is to
find her own beautiful story. Hope you will like the song.
The song
that I chose for today is “超合金” by Patrick Tang. The direct
English translation of the title is “Super alloy”, but this phrase is typically
used to refer to figures/toys that are made from metal (generally robot).
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he used to love Gundam
(an Japanese robot anime), and he believe that there is something so tough that
it will never get hurt. But until he was trained by love, he realised he was
weak and scare. That time he knows that there are no super robots. From time,
he realised that breaking up is the worst thing. Why she give him all the scares
when he was just trying to search for love. She imprinted a scare on his face
and after she left, he felt that his world is break in half. After being hurt,
he realised that he will never be a super robot. Who would want to play with
toys until they regret? Facing the cruel side of love, no one will be able to survive.
In a game, there will be nothing be as cruel as she is. Robots are the only
thing that could match with him. If he can leave, then he wouldn’t be harmed.
If he can give up, then he wouldn’t be hurt. Let not hope for the next person
that he could be a good match with, so that he wouldn’t be looking forward for
his next kiss. So brave that if he
manage to forget about her, then he will be electroplated with super alloy.
From now on, forget about her and his hand wouldn’t even shake a bit. Hope you
will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “朦朧夜雨裡” by Anita Mui. This song was
originally sung by Tony Leung (梁朝偉, a very famous actor in Hong Kong),
but Anita love the song and decided to sing the song. This song now becomes one
of Anita’s classic. The direct English translation of the title is “In the
burry rainy night”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that in the light rainy
night, it shows sadness. Reading his letter, she feels that their love hasn’t
cool off. In the letter, he said good bye, but she feels that in his eyes, he
is looking forward to seeing her again the next night. Looking back, thinking
about the emotionless in present day. She wonders who would warm her up again,
to keep her away from the cold. In the photo of their candle dinner, the smell
of the champagne is stimulating her eyes. “I say a little prayer”, please don’t
make the store go away. “Just give a little time”, please just give her a
night. Back to her hug, how could this kiss be just an ordinary kiss? He get
closer to her, kisses her, want her from his heart, and give her tonight. Hope
you will like the song. As usual, I have also linked to Tony’s original version
for comparison.
The
song that I chose for today is “盲愛” by Sammi Cheng (featuring Andy
Lau). This was the theme song for a movie. The direct English translation of
the title is “Blind love”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that she accidentally
discovered feeling, then she created the reasons. She closed her eyes to
imagine, the more she thinks about it, the more likely it will happen. Who is
trying to create situation to get closer, or perhaps they think that they are born
to be able to get close. Who could use their brain to create fate and built up
the good feeling? If you can’t say it, then listen to your heart speak. Love
doesn’t need a reason, as they could be together for life. You can search high
and low for love. Under the dark sky, the closer you get (physically), the
closer your are (mentally). You are the soul that fallen in love, you wouldn’t
feel bad if you got no feeling. Perhaps being stubborn could create love.
Searching for a lover is like starching our root; we will bump into others on
the way. Whoever wanted to test love will create another identity, but it is
hard to test, so just try not to try love. . Love doesn’t need a reason, as
they could be together for life. People created the God of love, closing the
sky net, the closer you get (physically), the closer your are (mentally). We
can’t proof who we love the most. Who would use a detective to search for their
lover? Seeing some sign, we get excited before anything actually happened.
Please stop asking who we love the most, there is no need to wait for our fate.
If we have this person in our heart, then he will be our perfect match. Hope
you will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “很想很想說再見” by Justin Lo. This was a song
from 2012, but it only published to the public in an album in 2013. The direct English
translation of the title is “Really wanted to say good bye”.
The
lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he can stand her
looking at him with an unhappy face, as long as she is still in front of him.
He rather believes the reason that she wanted to argue is that she wanted to
hear him say sorry. He guesses that she doesn’t understand their love wither,
she probably have no clue why she is still staying behind. He rather to have both
of them annoyed then only one person to dream about the other. He doesn’t want
her to live without him so he annoyed her. He really wanted to say good bye, he
wish that he could say good bye out loud. He can only promise her that in his
life he will say it once. He rather to love until it all turn to hate, just
like talking, never ended. He rather to believe that they still care about each
other, so that’s why they from time to time get annoyed by the other person. He
doesn’t want to be so cheap, to extend their love every time they argued. He
rather to have both of them annoyed then only one person to dream about the
other. He doesn’t want her to live without him so he annoyed her. He really
wanted to say good bye, he wish that he could say good bye out loud. Year 2036,
when he is 60 years old, then they will say good bye, say good bye. Hope you
will like the song.
The
song that I chose for today is “有夢就很好了” by Sis 樂印姊妹.
Sis is a music group formed this year I think. They are blood related sister.
This song is their first song. The direct English translation of the title is “It
is good to have dreams”. The style of the song doesn’t sound much like songs
from the Hong Kong music industry, so it is quite unique. Note that the younger
sister of this group was a contestant of the Hong Kong version of “The Voice”
season 1.
The
lyrics of the song are about dreams. It said that it has been a few days
without the sun, but it doesn’t matter. Too few dreams make you feel sad and
neglected your heart beat. She wishes that one day she could fall in love with
the person that she loves and she will not forgot about this dream. So let’s
keep trying to make it true, then in the next few years we could all smile.
Life is getting hard, people that only know how to whimper will not survive. Jokes
get too large, when we get older we turn bad. If you talk about a baby (here it
is referring to a lover), and got another baby (lover) in your heart, you will
not be able to relieve. Your boyfriend is holding two person’s hand, what do
you call this? In a song with fast and slow pace, some notes get through our
hand. The him that meet Venus got too much pride, and she fined it lonely to
have Mars all to herself. She is not worry to bump into problem today, as there
is always something that you will never get used to. You might worry the person
on Venus is too cool to talk, and wanted to find someone else that are more
simplistic. It has been a few days without the sun, but it doesn’t matter. Too
few dreams make you feel sad and neglected your heart beat. She wishes that one
day she could fall in love with the person that she loves and she will not
forgot about this dream. So let’s keep trying to make it true, it is good to
have dreams for the next few years. So you really can’t get it, but obtained a
lot of sadness? You don’t want to cross the bridge as dreams are always tiny.
You dreamed about the pass, when it was great to have dreams. It has been a few
days without the sun, but it doesn’t matter. She wishes that she could speak
out her love now to be truthful in love. It is hard to predict that someday you
will be separated with the person that you love. So let’s try not to let this
happened again, this few years, it will not change. So let’s keep trying to fulfil
this dream, in the next few years, it is great to have dreams. Hope you will
like the song.
