30th Nov 2014 (如果我有事 – Andy Lau)

The song for today is “如果我有事” by Andy Lau. This song was the theme song for the movie “Yesterday Once More” (龍鳳鬥) from 2004. The movie was about a couple (played by Andy Lau and Sammi Cheng) that were once thief, but one day Andy decided to leave Sammi (as he got cancer). From memory, in their last case, they decided to steal a large diamond from a rich guy by Sammi pretending to get married with the guy. As they approach the end, Andy decided to pull away (to try to leave Sammi in a good hand before he die). Of cause, Sammi found out, but I am not planning to spoil the ending :p Anyway, what I am trying to get to is that there are two version of this song, “” is sing by Andy, telling the story from the male perspective, while Sammi’s version “如果你有事” tell the story from the female perspective. The lyrics of the songs are very similar but it is an interesting pair of song. The direct English translation of the title of Andy’s version is “If I have an accident”.

The lyrics of the song are about what the protective thing will happen to his girlfriend if he had an accident and passed away. It said that he is worried that he might not have the luck to accompany her for the whole life. So he focused on how to make her happy such that she got something to remember about. He is willing to believe in fate, to see who will pass away first. She is healthy while he is sick, so he could only drag her down. No doubt that he loves her so much, so how could he face the fact that he is losing the ability to take care of her. If he just went out, he might not be able to see her again. But he believe in love, so he tell her to remember for the rest of her life, no matter when and where they are, they will see each other again one day. If he passed away, she will be very lonely. How could she be happy if she is alone? She doesn’t have his luck to be able to pass away first, at least he could reach haven earlier. But if he pass away, then she will be living alone. She will need to learn again to the end of the world to try to live on her own, a protagonist without any supporting cast. If he passed away, she will be very lonely. How could she be happy if she is alone? She doesn’t have his luck to be able to pass away first, at least he could reach haven earlier. But even if he passed away, she could let another to be her protagonist. But why would she care about trying to find someone new to replace him. So it is his fault to say too much to get her mad. Hope you will like the song.

29th Nov 2014 (第一天失戀 – Jinny Ng (吳若希))

The song for today is “第一天失戀” by Jinny Ng (吳若希). This song was released a few years back. While I had heard of Jinny’s name many times, I haven’t really paid much attention with her music as she isn’t popular. Due to the company that she is with, many of her songs are theme songs for TVB dramas (though the one for today is not). Personally I quite like Jinny’s voice and I think she got potential to be popular, but to achieve that she needs to be lucky enough to get a few very popular songs and to be more unique on her singing style. The direct English translation of the title is “First day of break up”.

The lyrics of the song are about how the protagonist copes with her emotion after she broke up with her boyfriend. It said, half of the coffee from Starbucks was tipped over. Deliberately to try to calm herself down, she hasn’t cried yet. There are only two type of words that can be said during break up, if she didn’t listen, then she didn’t need to worry. She didn’t turn her head around, couldn’t be bothered to pick up the coffee receipt. She deleted all the photos in the memories of her camera. Then she get online to book a air ticket, once got on she slept. She experienced the ups and downs from the turbulence and she started her broke up journey. In the cloud, no one will know that she cried. First day of broke up, what could she do in the following days. She needs to quickly accept the changes. Without love, she is about to break, she couldn’t take it much longer. Ended, the first day of broke up. Happiness will happened on another day, she felt lost. Time flies, she made it over today. After today, there are more challenges waiting for her tomorrow. Memories wouldn’t be deleted after broke up. Leaving behind the most beautiful memories will make her more tired. It is hard to delete off these memories when they are hiding in the darkest part of her mind, she need to escape her break up trip. No one around her knows that she couldn’t sleep. Please don’t follow the rotten love and fall into the abyss, she need to make up her mind. She need to know; she could see the flaws in personality. First day of broke up, what could she do in the following days. She needs to quickly accept the changes. Without love, she is about to break. How could she end this as he is all over her mind. The first day of broke up, happiness will happen on another day, she felt lost. Clearly time flies. She made it over this day, then she could escape this emotion. Good bye. Hope you will like the song.

28th Nov 2014 (道別說愛你 – J.Arie (雷琛瑜))

The song that I chose for today is “道別說愛你” by J.Arie. This song was released earlier this early, I personally quite like it. The direct English translation of the title is “Good bye love you”.

The lyrics of the song are about how we should care about others more. The protagonist asked how long it has been that they last asked about each other since her parents’ hair turned white. When they walked in the park they hold hands, but now that they are much older, they haven’t held each other’s hand since then. Now everyone treat what you own as what you deserved. Leaves haven’t turned red so not knowing that it is autumn. Thinking about the past, who was that person that let you set on top on their shoulder and gaze at the stars above? Don’t wait until the people around you slowly left to regret that you didn’t love them enough. If you keep waiting, you will let yourself get further apart. So you wanted to hug when you say goodbye at their funeral and kiss the old photos? Partners is already got used to be busy with themselves, like how their date always happened at the same time as the meeting. To buy a house, you need to work until the morning. The bed could be bigger, pocket money could get more, but who will got the strength to get closer to their other half? Stop waiting, the one that you own you need to pay them back now. You aren’t old yet, so while you are still young give him the best. If you keep waiting, you will miss the warm feeling from others, unless you want to realise that you didn’t hug him when he passed away. Everything will come to an end, don’t wait until it ended to treasure it. Hope you will like the song.

27th Nov 2014 (別說愛情苦 – Anita Mui and Andy Lau)

The song for today is “別說愛情苦” by Anita Mui and Andy Lau. This song is a reader request. The English translation of the title is “Don’t say love is bitter”.

The lyrics of the song are love. As it is a duet, I will represent Anita’s line by “F:”, Andy’s by “M:” and when they sing together “T:”. F: I found it hard to love and I feel helpless. Sometime I really wanted to cry, how can I keep the love? It was really touching and fulfilling, but love is like floating. How could I found my true love in the sea of people? M: I know that you found love is hard, and I got the same feeling. I am getting a bit numb, as I always found that I disturbed the pace of love. Always full of work and friends, but never found love. Really hope to be able to find love, so that I wouldn’t be alone. Why your love and my love are full of bitterness. F: I had been truthful and putted in true love, but why love just couldn’t stay. T: No matter love is benignant or heartless, we still need to keep moving forward. Don’t say love is bitter, don’t say love is bitter, once you had loved, you would know. F: We both found love to be difficult. M: We both sacrificed a lot. T: We both wanted to have someone that could accompany us. Someone that we could share our load and happiness with. So that in the future we could live in happiness with love. Hope you will enjoy the song.

26th Nov 2014 (心寒 – Patrick Tang and Ronald Cheng)

The song for today is “心寒” by Patrick Tang and Ronald Cheng. As mentioned yesterday, this is a song that I listened to quite often. The English translation of the title is “Chill to my heart”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist discussing with his friend how disappointed he was with his girlfriend. Since this is a duet, Patrick’s line will be represented by “P:”, Ronald’s by “R:” and when they sing together, “T:”. R: What had she done to you, the rest of the people are all talking about it. Those scare on your forehead, I am willing to listen to the scary truth. P: She is not that crazy, and she is still beautiful and kind. We had once in deep love, so I don’t want to give her a bad name. R: Who could be as great as you? I understand that you wanted to protect your love. P: I am already a loser, but please don’t make her name worse. R: The world disappointed me. P: My girlfriend gave me a heart chill. T: But at least we are still good. P: The feeling of gossiping doesn’t make me calm. R: You and I shouldn’t hope anymore. T: Girlfriend left all because of our fault. R: It was clearly her fault. P: But I will still say sorry to her, as I am willing to fall in this trap. R: You are willing to fall into this trap. P: I know that you are a good guy, willing to tell her the truth even you were so distanced. R: I just worry that I will act as the bad guy in the future, gossiping about woman. R: how could I trust you. P: got down to this trap. T: How did we become friend? P: How could we talk to others about our situation? R: and the sad feeling make us uncomfortable. T: You and I shouldn’t hope anymore, as our girlfriends left because of our fault. R: For self-esteem, I would rather believe that you are lying. You are still willing to fall into this trap. P: I am still willing to fall into this trap. Hope you will like the song.

25th Nov 2014 (高山低谷 – Phil Lam)

The song for today is “高山低谷” by Phil Lam (林奕匡). While he started his music career from 2010, I didn’t really noticed him as he produce album at a rather slow pace and that the time when he start his career, the company he is in (Sony music) was having some copyright argument with TVB (generally considered as the biggest TV station in Hong Kong). This song though catches my ear. For some reason, when I listen to this song it reminded me of “心寒” by Patrick Tang and Ronald Cheng, which is a song that I often listen to (oddly enough, after running this blog for a few years now and I still haven’t talked about it, will probably do it soon). The direct English translation of the title is “High mountain, low valley”.

The lyrics of the song are about love, it talks about the protagonist trying to get close of the distance between him and the girl that he likes, but he felt that no matter what he does, they will never get closer. It said, in the forest, he felt that as if he is out of oxygen. During sunset, he is lonely and he felt that he doesn’t have the right to see her. He knows early on that the high mountain and the low valley separated them, lacking human warmth. Her royalty game, his street travel journey; he think that he was too naïve to believe that true love. She happily lives her life, while he works very hard to live. How many people are at the peak of the mountain gazing at him being tired? He just hopes to be accepted, not scare to work hard. But the finish line is at the edge of the world. While she defined her living, he looked down at his life, so he is only suited to stay in the valley to sort himself up. He wishes that there would be a good ending, but the distance is hard to be shortened. He hasn’t seen the finish line and hasn’t found grace, so there is a large distance between him and her. The more he hope, the more he felt hopeless, there isn’t him in her future. So let’s end this at the cliff as he never had happiness. He felt that after the sky turn dark and brighten again, someone will say goodbye and someone will fall off. No matter how much he tells people about his situation, she wouldn’t comfort him. She distinguish it too clearly, too harsh. He still needs to live, so he quietly stay in the mountain and the valley until he die. She keeps going her way and he keeps hiding his love. There is no finish line, never will have a finish line. That is very far away. Hope you will enjoy the song.

24th Nov 2014 (遊園驚夢 – Aaron Kwok)

The song for today is “遊園驚夢” by Aaron Kwok. This song was quite old. While it was the song that got sent to radio and tv stations for promotion for that particular album, but I think it wasn’t as big comparing to Aaron’s other previous popular song. Despite that, I personally quite like this song as it differ quite a lot from traditional Aaron’s songs, and it got a mystic feel to it. The title of the song related to a Chinese play “牡丹亭” (Peony Pavilion), the direct English translation of the title is “Travel through the park, scary dreams”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist dreams that he entered a utopia, where it is filled with love that last forever. It said, the day he left, it felt like that millions of years had passed because he got into a dream that he really loves. In the sweet dream, it felt like an amusement park. In this park, there are no sadness and love are all around. He heard that there are loves that last forever; both will love each other, never change their mind and will go over all the problems together. Pure love, will never wanted to change, there are no end point to it. In this sweet dream, he landed in this amusement park. The thing that touches him the most is that she is in front of him and gave him true love. Using love and kindness, she filled his thought. Never change and never will change, all he wanted is that every day his day will be perfect. The day he left, he enters this amusement park. HE found this dream, but it wasn’t long enough. In this sweet dream, he was lucky that he found love. HE wishes that he will never wake up from this dream and it will last forever. In this sweet dream he got a promise, but after he woke up this promise turn sour, and he never see this promise again. Hope you will like the song.

23rd Nov 2014 (Be True – Joey Yung)

The song for today is “Be True” by Joey Yung. This song was released in 2006.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that confusion and lost are challenging her. If you don’t compromise in love, then go through all the troubles together. Face the problems together and enjoy the happiness, these are the bases of finding the perfect partner. If you have done something wrong, then go through it together. But if you can’t avoid the busyness in real life, then let her treasure her partner’s restart. She is not worry that she wouldn’t see him enough. Seeing that there are many hurdles that need to get over in the future, she wouldn’t complain too much. She will accompany him to jump over them. There are still so much to plan in the future. If he found that his journey is getting hard, then please remember that she is with him and they could always find a way to get through it. “I will always be with you”. Who is scare about problems, when they are together, they will not lose. “I will always be with you, always be true”, this is a line that we should keep in mind. To date, there is so much to face and it is too troublesome. And he is willing to share her load, helping her getting over them without noticed. Traveling forward separately, but not scare of being alone, as they know that someone will support them when needed. Just be casual, don’t need to be too polite. “I will always be with you”. Who is scare about problems, when they are together, they will not lose. “I will always be with you, always be true”, this is a line that we should keep in mind. “I will be always be with you, always be true. Love will bring me close to you, I will always be with you, always be true”, these are words that melt our heart. “Some dreams will never come true, always be cool. I will always be with you”. Hope you will enjoy the song.

22nd Nov 2014 (無朋友 – Hacken Lee)

The song for today is “無朋友” by Hacken Lee. This song is a reader request, it is a recent song. The English translation of the title is “No friends”.

The lyrics of the song are about how we got fewer friends as we growth up due to the fact that we need to take care of our families (or other duty imposed on us through life). It said: Hey, we haven’t seen each other for like ten lifetime. There are around 50 to 60 friends that he hasn’t called for ages, he is worries that when he see them again, it would be their funeral. Why we isolated ourselves? Those who we could synchronise before, he is now worry that he got nothing to talk to them now. They were so close, yet now they are in a different category. After work we shake hands and said that we really want to meet up again in the future. We politely smile and walk away, now we got no friend. We say we will meet up in ten year time to have a drink, but it is nothing close to chatting online every night. He got no friends on earth now. Hey, perhaps that we are old now, we understand that when we have problem, we can slowly sort it out ourselves so no need to trouble our friends. Slowly we realised the important of home. WE used to go out very frequently, now we preferred to cook noddles at home. Who is our best friend? We forget after we done all the house work.  After work we shake hands and said that we really want to meet up again in the future. We politely smile and walk away, now we got no friend. We say we will meet up in ten year time to have a drink, but it is nothing close to chatting online every night. Facing so many windows, but there are no friends. When you cry and sing a few lines from “最佳損友” (a song by Eason Chan), he is next to you but couldn’t sing out loud. He got no friends now. When you have lived on earth for so long, you will be able to see through everything and accept everything. So the moment you become adult, you already got no friends. The older he gets, the fewer friends he got. But in exchange, he got his sons and daughters to accompany him. He only hopes that someday they could meet up again. Hey, old friends.

21st Nov 2014 (傳情達意 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “傳情達意” by Leon Lai. This song was from the 90’s, back then a lot of songs were used for ads. While Leon’s mobile provider ads were very popular, this song was for apartments. The direct English translation of the title is “Expressing the feeling of love”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he is willing to prepare the dream for his love. He is willing to use his life to fulfil every of her curiosity. He wished that he had prepared what she wished for, and he will project the roses in his eyes to give it to her. Will she give him her heart? It would be great if she hand him her youth as well. If she trusts him, she will get much more in return. His pulse is expressing his love, so passionate and truthful. He wishes that it would motivate her when they touched each other. A dustless angel like her, would she willing to let him give her heart a new cloth. Night, luck is waiting; waiting for her to arrive and accept the story. If she enters his heart, then it would be the best topic for him and it will create the richest love. Hope you will enjoy the song.

20th Nov 2014 (給我愛過的男孩們 – Cass Pang)

The song that I picked for today is “給我愛過的男孩們” by Cass Pang. This song was quite popular, however I didn’t like it too much as I think it was a bit dull. The English translation of the title is “To those boys that I had loved”.

The lyrics of the song are about how the protagonist see her past relationships with all her ex-boyfriend when she get married. She said, with the diamond ring on her finger and they had said “I do”, the moment she looked at the ring she truthfully said thanks to her past without letting her other half know. This is the start of a story, a girl decided that she need to say goodbye to naive, and fall in love quickly while she is still young. From then, she had fallen in love many times; there were sadness and happiness, just like a love magazine. When she got time, she could flip it open to enjoy those old stories. Those that she looked up to, those that she hold hand with, those that she hurt, those that she can’t decide, she wanted them to dedicated this song to her, as every boy that she like is like a blossom flower. Those that she dreamed of, those that she had got, those that she waited and those that she lost, wish her to be happy, and she also wish that all of them will be like her. Whether to pretend that she was with them just to burn the time or to love them just that the one she truly love hasn’t arrived, she will love at every place as she doesn’t believe in fate. Whether they were good or not, after she had tried it out, everything memories will turn into treasure. She takes these as training, even if it was wrong she could complain later. If there are no difficulties in love, then being sweet and warm isn’t special at all. At least after falling in love for so many time and had experienced so much, there would be something that were happy, just like a love magazine. When she got time, she could flip it open to enjoy those old stories. Those that were not happy, no too bad, not regretted or no ending, she will dedicated this song to every boy that she had fallen in love with to thanks them to accompanying her. The time when they were not being realistic, can’t be exposed, not convenient to express themselves and those that wanted to remember, please wish her to be happy. Everyone that she loved, please pray for her. Hope you will like the song.

19th Nov 2014 (斷了氣 – Edmond Leung)

The song for today is “斷了氣” by Edmond Leung. Personally I quite like this song when I was a kid as it was very different to other songs. The English translation of the title is “Stopped breathing”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: Turn off the light, fire the gun, then next… Tight up his hand, lit the fire, then next… Shut the mouth, close his eyes, the car go backward, then next… Following that, the protagonist is worry that there isn’t a ‘next’ as she is used to let him go all of a sudden. A well designed script, but at the climax it suddenly removed. Sudden pull away, it was her who ignited his curiosity and shown her attractiveness. Cannot be separated, facing her he felt that he can’t breathe, so tasty. Not scare of death, only worry about waiting, time. Not worry about fate, but only worry to give to the queen… Being raised to the sky, then let him fall back to earth. She opened up for him. So open that it felt like she is opened for everybody. Cared so much about the effect, but at the climax she pulled it all away. Sudden pull away, at a distance that they couldn’t get any closer, they did their final showdown. Cannot be separated, a weapon that is getting closer and closer, but not willing to avoid it, willing to die happily. Sudden pull away, it was her who ignited his curiosity and shown her attractiveness. Cannot be separated, facing her he felt that he can’t breathe, so tasty. How to calm down? Hope you will enjoy the song.

18th Nov 2014 (時間開的玩笑 – Shiga Lin)

The song for today is “時間開的玩笑” by Shiga Lin. This song was released earlier this year. The direct English translation of the title is “A joke that time made”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that a special someone could understand every drop of her tears. He would understand her. She wonders whether he knows how sad and beautiful this feeling is. She is grateful and at the same time sad. She can only blame herself that her mouth didn’t speak of her heart. Even when she really wanted to fallen in love, true words just wanted to avoid her mouth. That’s why it looks so passive. Because of that she decided that they are best friend. But then she realised that this is more like a wound, they don’t need to hold hands and they will not breakup. But why she doesn’t want this type of freedom. It would be great if she could know him earlier. If she didn’t first hit her lowest point and tangled by painful feeling, then she wouldn’t have been a coward, hiding her heartbeat. But sadly, the order of their fate is wrong. It could be better if he got to know her a bit later. She would have made up her mind, willing to love again. It is a joke that time make, they managed to meet but not fallen in love. Unable to be sweet, can only laugh bitterly. Because she understands that things would not follow her thought, so that’s why she doesn’t want to admit that she loves him. As her heart hasn’t fully healed, it is not possible for it to give out love. Friendship is the safest distance. If she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life, she could only relay on that fake excuses. Without holding hands, how could they be broke up. She should feel lucky about this rather than sad. It would be great if she could know him earlier. Then she wouldn’t need to experienced her lowest point and only surrounded by love. She wouldn’t be a coward and will enjoy her heartbeat. But sadly the order of their fate is wrong. Knowing her a bit later would have been great. At that time she would have made up her mind, and will have courage to love. A joke that time made, able to meet up but unable to love. Unable to be sweet, can only laugh bitterly. A joke that time made, meeting up became a torment. That day at the corner of the street, how great it would have been id she just walk straight. Hope you will enjoy the song.

17th Nov 2014 (似水流年 – Anita Mui)

The song for today is “似水流年” by Anita Mui. This is one of Anita’s classic. The direct English translation of the title is “Time flow like water”.

The lyrics of the song are about life. The protagonist said that when she gaze at the sea, she felt tired, but there are not tears and wordless. Gazing at the sky, she only feel confuse about her feeling. Her heart is like a small wooden boat, couldn’t see far ahead, but will keep going forward. Who is controlling her in her life? She will try to fight back in the sea of people. She feels that time pass by like water, so she can’t keep thinking about her past. All there is left are thought, and they never tangle together. In the smoke, she think about her past. Her looks changes a lot, situation changes a lot, but her emotions and thoughts haven’t changed a bit. Hope you will enjoy the song.

16th Nov 2014 (明日世界終結時 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “明日世界終結時” by Jacky Cheung. This is a reader request. This song was popular back in the 90’s. The direct English translation of the title is “Tomorrow when the world end”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said when people is in love, it is their weakest moment. So perhaps without emotion and love, it would be easier to be successful. Morden love, should be easy to control, but why when he fallen in love with her, he become so obsess with her. Promises and infatuation, people starts to feels that these are qualities from the past. Fate come and go, after a few try it wouldn’t feel too bad. Morden love should be able to be bought or stolen. But after fallen in love with her, he couldn’t find an excuse. At the time when things could change, she is the only one that is willing to hold his hand forever. Fighting in fame, truth and false, she is the only one that could carry the burden with him. Tomorrow, when the world ends, he wouldn’t regret to be walking with her. Fighting between success and failure, only her love feels like the power that had been supporting him. Unlimited love, something that time couldn’t carry away. Other’s might say he is stubborn, but he will just accept it. Morden love, it could be bought or stolen, but after fallen in love with her, he doesn’t want to find an excuse anymore. Hope you will enjoy the song.
