5th Aug 2014 (失去夢的少女 – Sally Yip/恋人よ – Mayumi Itsuwa’s (五輪真弓))

The song for today is “失去夢的少女” by Sally Yip. This is another Chinese cover version of Mayumi Itsuwa’s (五輪真弓) “恋人よ”, though this time around it is the Mandarin cover version. This song came out in 1981, around the same time as the other cover version. The direct English translation of the title is “The girl who lost her dreams”.

The lyrics of the song are about love.  The protagonist said that just like every young girl, she sung love songs when she was lonely. Even though back then she didn’t know who it was for, but he appeared in front of her. Perhaps he wasn’t intended, but she took it as real, she even keeps their memories as treasure. Even though the memories are great, but she is the type of person that is not daring to think back, because a dream that had passed away have got no way to search it back. A girl that lost her dreams is as helpless as a bird that left it nest. Dreaming to be able to write the next love story, but she still hasn’t manage to found the ending of the story. Hope you will like the song. As usual, I have linked to the original Japanese version and the other Chinese cover version that share the same melody.
