The
song for today is “撐起雨傘” by various artists. This is a
song that just got out, sing by various artists for supporting the
umbrella revolution. The direct English translation of the title is “Support
umbrella”.
The lyrics
of the song describe the feelings of the pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong’s
Umbrella revolution. Although the lyrics aren’t too complex, but due to my
limited vocabulary, I might not be able to fully capture the essence of the
song. It said, quietly sitting in among the sea of people, you and I aren’t not
afraid; we are afraid about what will happen next if it keeps going like this. But
in our life, when it gets to this night, we are more worries that we haven’t showed
our thought. Standing in front, our courage can’t be dispersed, but oddly, we
believe that the more scared we are the worse our fate would be. But for those
that wanted to see through the absurd, sadly you would have to open your eyes
under the effect of tear gas. Together we hold the umbrella; together we support.
Together, while we might be worried, but we are not alone, right? Together we
hold the umbrella, put our hands up to support. Together we will courageously fight
for what we deserved, scared? Under heavy rain, but our aspiration haven’t
fallen yet. Umbrellas are flowers; they will not die out nor separated. For
tomorrow, you will need to remember tonight. You and I used calmness to face
our hardships. If in our life we missed tonight, there might not be other
chances to speak our wills freely. Hope you will enjoy the song.
