The
song for today is “初戀” by Samantha Lam. As I have talked
about Samantha yesterday, I feel that I should talk about this song today as
this is the first song that I would think of if you talk about Samantha. This
song was released in 1984, it was so popular because it was used in a lemon tea
ad in the 80’s. The ad itself had become a classic and many people to date
still remember it (or at least had seen some footage of it). The star in the ad
was Ekin Cheng. Note that this song is a different song to Danny Chan’s “初戀”,
despite that they share the same name. The one by Samantha is the Cantonese
cover version of a Japanese song by Murashita Kōzō (村下孝蔵)
which uses the same name “初戀”. The direct English translation of
the title is “First love”.
The
lyrics of the song are about the excitement of falling in love for the first
time. The protagonist said that she got no experience in love, and she only
discovered it today. She looked at him from a distance, and she felt so excited
by this happiness. She couldn’t sleep because his shadow appeared in her heart.
She asked herself why seeing him only once and this beautiful image felt like
her first love. Gazing at him, gazing at him felt like she has been electrocuted.
That moment when they connected already got her crazy. Every minute she looks
forward to see him again. She waited without complain. Every minute she wishes
to see him again, even bumping into him on the road could get her excited for a
few days. Her excitement has surfaced, such a cute first love. I have also linked
to the lemon tea ad and the original Japanese version, hope you will nejoy the
song.
