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.
