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.
