31st Oct 2014 (如果你知我苦衷 – Vivian Chow)

The song for today is “如果你知我苦衷” by Vivian Chow. This is one of Vivian’s classic. The direct English translation of the title is “If you would understand”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist that her boyfriend said he never fallen in love. But he cherishes it a lot, so he is willing to spent time with her. She laugh at herself, because she realised that it is her fault as her heart is tear in half and still have clear it up. She is the only one that is so naïve. The heart that she gave out, he didn’t receive it? If he knows her difficulties, why isn’t he touched. Who would have thought that looking at him like that, he would still not agree with her. Knowing her difficult, but still let her to have her good dream. It is surprising that he is so enjoying it, but it hurt. He laughed at her for not answering him, like as if she is not happy and thinking about someone else. She asked him, why couldn’t he guess it correctly. Something that you haven’t got, you are not worried to lost. Such a perfect match, but sadly it is not counted as a pair. Never was in love, so how to continue on. Hope you will like the song.

29th Oct 2014 (滄海遺珠 – Kay Tse and Wilfred Lau)

The song for today is “滄海遺珠” by Kay Tse and Wilfred Lau. This song is a reader request. The title is a bit hard to translate as it is a Chinese four worded phrase, meaning something valuable have been unnoticed in a sea of other common things. Directly through the words, it means “a forgotten peal in the sea”. The English translation from google translate, “talent left unrecognized”, seems to describe it quite ok, though it doesn’t necessary need to be talent.

The lyrics of the song are about love. Since it is a duet, Wilfred’s part would be represent by “W:”, Kay’s by “K:” and when they sing together “T:”. W: Everyone loves gems and wealth, so they don’t really understand your beauty. K: I am the only one, that saw you and closed my heart, just like the legend of a closed shell. If everyone in the world oversight and never got to fully understand you. W: Let those stupid, normal people look down at you. T: Don’t let those people affect your believes. K: Just like a peal buried deep in the sea. K: Deep in the sea. K: So that no one understands your goods. W: Only I would be able to understand God’s idea. T: Found this shining peal in a pile of sand. W: others framed you as a normal, boring kid. K: Like a kid. W: But your thoughts, I don’t believe T: that they are meaningless. K: No one understand how to admire it, T: but God knows that everyone can. W: Perhaps this abnormal beauty K: Not many people know how to admire it. W: So that is why you have been so polite, to a point that you are too humble. K: Never hoped for love. If everyone in the world oversight and never got to fully understand you. W: Let those stupid, normal people forget about you. T: If others don’t like you, I will be waiting for you on this side. K: Who are you? Who are you? W: Do you have a place to shine? T: Others are too busy admiring their looks. W: So didn’t have time to care about your self-cultivation. T: Only I will stay behind and clap for you. W: Perhaps no one care about you. K: But T: I will. Hope you will like the song.

28th Oct 2014 (You’re always everything to me – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “You’re always everything to me” by Janice Vidal. This is the newest song from Janice. As she describes it “This is a song about being true to your feelings. Acknowledging how you feel at the moment and don't hold it back because feelings that aren't dealt with will always come back to hurt you.” This song is the cover version of a Korea song call "Like a Star" by Taeyeon.

The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of love. The protagonist said, Because of loneliness, we accepted others, but after a while we wanted to reminisce. Seeing him again, she is surprise that that she still loves him and this make her feel very bad. All her exs are no body now, except him, the only one that she feels she still love. It doesn’t matter that they now both got a partner, and it doesn’t matter how long they have been with their partner. Loneliness is being hug by someone when sleeping but not willing to fall into sleep. How many lovers had she forced to go through the pain with her. No point of dragging in more soul, as the more she loves the more pointless it gets. After being with him, she finally understands what she needs. “You’re always everything to me” she said, seeing so many people come and leave, which one will be able to won her heart? When she is accompanying them and holding their hand, they call her partner. But when the hands are changed, who is she now? Still being so sweet, but if the partner is not him, she feel so bad that she can’t face herself. Depravation, is that when you rejected someone and feels alright. Giving up those tenderness and rather give you pain. So after going through so many wrong loves, she finally understands what is true love. So this wrong partnering isn’t really that sad. If she never meets him, then she wouldn’t be able to compare. She hopes that he knows who still loves him. Perhaps that after breaking up so many time, then they will be together again. “You’re always everything to me”, she said. When she has been taken away by someone, would he wish them well or get angry? When hugging him, she becomes his partner. But after changing hands, she become a burden. Still trying to be sweet and tender, but if it is not him, she feels so bad that she can’t face herself. Hope you will like the song.

27th Oct 2014 (有甚麼事 – Terence Chui)

The song for today is “有甚麼事” by Terence Chui. The direct English translation of the title is “What’s the matter?”

The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of the protagonist when he breakup with his girlfriend. The protagonist said, hey, please don’t cry, relax, smile quickly now, so that your eyes wouldn’t be swollen tomorrow. Breaking up will lead to sadness and being out of control. Very soon you will forget, but do you understand? Hey, I haven’t cry, all I wanted is to give you freedom. You are too nice, breakup but didn’t let go. There is no need to try to comfort me to cover up guilt. If you wanted to leave me, just say it. Really, I am fine, at least I don’t feel embarrass. But I just still care, so I don’t want to know too much about him. It is not wrong, I have been giving you everything, but now they are all history. No, I treated you well, is a way to really revenge. But a person that love you, I could I really put that plan in action. Who to hate, who couldn’t last, and sadness keeps coming. I hope that when you sleep, you still dream of my hands. When I have learn to love you, I have also learn to lose. Lose all my self-esteem, but I keep trying, keep pretending that I don’t know about it. So what’s the matter with you. Could you please stop crying? Leaving me like this but yet you still pretend that you feel guilty. So what’s the matter that made me so servile. If you still care, please be cruel to the end. Hope you will like the song.

26th Oct 2014 (他的故事 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “他的故事” by Hins Cheung. This is one of the songs that I really like from Hins. The direct English translation of the title is “His story”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist listening to an old man talking about his love story. It said, the old man got tired, but he still wanted to try one more time. He had tried, it felt like that even God thinks that it is ok. Perhaps he could rely on fate, but fate is unpredictable. He is confirmed that he will like this girl for the rest of his life. Everyone is saying how stupid this story is. But things are so far away, how could you tell. The end of love is still love, because he could believe. He rather believe, just like how sometime that gut feeling is the most accurate. Loving in the future is call true love, this is a wordless letter from the future. In the silence, in his dreams, it is like someone telling him not to rush. He looked at a mirror, and wonder why he looks crazy. Once he cooled down, even he thinks that it is stupid. Fate could create, to find a way to make a good start. So he still protecting this good girl. No one care about this type of story, but the poor man is still happy and hasn’t stop. Why there are rain after rain, but he can still forgive? Sunny or rainly, no matter how long he watches it he still hasn’t lost. Love is love when it doesn’t end, the story is touching because he is generous. Let’s hope that the girl would understand his love. Listening to his story and wanting to know the ending, his experience reminded the protagonist that his will is the most beautiful fireworks. At the end of love is still love, as he could believe. He rather believe, because without fear, then there wouldn’t be stupidity. Loving in the future is call true love, this is a sweet letter from the future. In the silence, in his dreams, there is no need to open it, all he need is to believe. Hope you will like the song.

But today he will arrive early to wait for her. From a distance, he found that she got a unique smell, and it lifted his soul. Finally she arrived, how will this end? Hope you will like the song.

23rd Oct 2014 (壞情人 – Roman Tam)

The song that I chose for today is “壞情人” by Roman Tam. This is one of Roman’s iconic songs. The direct English translation of the title is “Bad lover”.

The lyrics of the song are about what the protagonist look for in a relationship. It said, her attractiveness is trying to get into his dream. Her smile is getting everyone crazy. She is the most exciting lover, the craftiest. She is in control of their relationship, she is free to make fun of it. If he takes the burden of her love, then he wouldn’t be able to turn. But sadly her love could disappear any time. Behind her eye sight, it is those. There is no need to understand, no need to move. All he wanted is a bad lover, there is no need to be in love most of his life. Stop waiting, just kiss; there is no need to be serious within his arm. Who said that you need to be a good person? All he wanted is a lover, true love will be always for the person that he loves the most. But for eternity, how could he wait? All he wanted is a bad lover to help him to create a better environment. He understand that she is wild and rebellion. If he could accept her love, then he wouldn’t be able to control it. Even if she promises that she will be with him for the rest of his life, promise too much will make it boring. Hope you will like the song.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist is falling in love with his friend, but his friend hasn’t realised about it and she even asked him to try to help her better understand the guy that she is interested in. It said, when she cry, the time stopped. He tried to make her smile so he winks at her. After happiness, she will always forget about that and will talk about the guy that she is interested again. From her body language, he can tell that she even wanted him to help her out to better understand the guy that she is interested in. He didn’t know how to react, so he just gives her a smiley face. But he is worry that she will be sad, so slightly lift his mouth and be passionate. It doesn’t matter if she forgets him. When she loosens her hand, he will hold it back, all because she is the reason why he is happy. He never cares how far or close they are, he never wanted to steal a kiss from her. He just wanted to be able to give her heat when she is cold. It doesn’t matter if she forgets him. He will wait even if that he will never get it. If it is fate that all this is a joke, he wouldn’t be angry. On his side, he will try to be smiley every day. When she feel painful, she can hug him and she might realised that they are a perfect match. It is hard to control the ending, as he already knows that it is impossible. Then let just forget about words and treat his love as if it doesn’t exist. It doesn’t matter if she forgets him. He will wait even if that he will never get it. If it is fate that all this is a joke, he wouldn’t be angry. On his side, he will try to be smiley every day. When she feels painful, she can hug him, or perhaps she might want to hug him for the rest of her life. When the sky brightens up, she will be happy again, and nothing will be imprinted. He doesn’t want to see her cry again and he wishes that he could be more than just a friend. Hope you will like the song.

18th Oct 2014 (牆外之音 – Lillian Wong)

The song that I chose for today is “牆外之音” by Lillian Wong. This song was released early this year. The direct English translation of the title is “The sound outside the wall”.

The lyrics of the song are about searching for the purpose of your life. The protagonist said that she is getting close to eighteen, but she had never decided what she really wanted to do. She had been told that she has to work hard because she needs to think about the consequences. There is a voice in her head; she felt that as if it is trying to run away, there are no points to stay here to do nothing. Run away, her soul wanting to do something. Trapped inside a book, why couldn’t she hear the beats in her heart? ‘That’s the invisible wall blocking me from my call’. Memories bring back an inch thick of iron oxide. How could she let go of what she likes the most in her childhood. Take a deep breath then she opened the standard book, but inside, there are no answers. Thinking back at the time when she was eight, she saw that there are lot of role in the world. But why she can’t maintain her thought when she was twenty five? Breaking the iron wall to search for the answer, ‘where is my own call’? Then she realised what they worry the most. Then she realised that she had been through so many pain here. Trapped inside a book, why couldn’t she hear the beats in her heart? ‘That’s the invisible wall blocking me from my call’. Memories bring back an inch thick of iron oxide. Why did the original track disappear? Take a deep breath and then listen to her call. Slowly, she can see that there are hidden sign everywhere. Trapped fighting in a stair way, calculating how to get rich in this life. ‘Break down that visible wall blocking me from my call’. Trapped inside her thought to fight, why not guided by her feeling? Explore this world, responds to your call. This choice has nothing to do with other, as she will only follow her feeling from now on. We all bourn with light and we all got our calls, let her accompany you to search. Hope you will like the song.

16th Oct 2014 (一切也願意 – Shirley Kwan)

The song that I chose for today is “一切也願意” by Shirley Kwan. I have completely forgotten about this song until I recently heard it on radio. This song was quite popular back when it was released. The direct English translation of the title is “Willing to do everything”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist worry about her relationship with her boyfriend. It said, she lit a fire and couldn’t sleep. At this rainy silence night, she is worry that she will lose it. HE said “don’t sleep”, so that they could spend every second together. But if they are not tired, why would she cry? If they are main to be together forever, then why she is worry about being heartbroken? She is not worry about the trouble in the future as she believes that they could face it. Who loves her truthfully? Why couldn’t she feel it? Who could live a day without worry? If their love continues, eventually they will get sick of this relationship. So infatuation and dream couldn’t coexist. If he cause her heartbroken, then it would be much easier for her to leave him. If he could understand that she had quietly put down this relationship, then she is willing to scarify for him, even if that will cost her life. Hope you will like the song.
