6th Aug 2014 (離人 – Teresa Cheung/恋人よ – Mayumi Itsuwa (五輪真弓) )

Continuing the series that I started a few days ago, the song for today is “離人” by Teresa Cheung (張德蘭). This song is the last entry of this mini-series, as it is pretty much the last proper Chinese cover version that I could found. There are other Chinese cover version of Mayumi Itsuwa’s “恋人よ” such as “忘不了貴” by Teresa Teng (鄧麗君) and “愛的憧憬” by  Irene Yeh(葉璦菱), but these are either an once off performance or that they are simply too hard to find on internet. Anyway, back to Teresa Cheung’s version, the direct English translation of the title is “Leaving person”.

The lyrics of the song are about breaking up. The protagonist said that they are about to apart, and so it is unavoidable to be sad. Wishing to remember the old days, but sadly, we still have to be apart even when she feels a bit regret. Not wanting to let go, and she feel bad. Saying goodbye in front of him, she cried. Please don’t give her pain nor punish her. How could it be wrong to only meet up occasionally? Life is like a road with a lot of people rushing by. When you decided to step back onto the road, please don’t search for her. Hope you will like the song. As usual, I have linked to the original Japanese version for comparison.
