The
song for today is “跳舞街” by Priscilla Chan. This song is
one of the Cantonese cover versions of “Eat You Up” by Angie Gold. There are
two Cantonese cover versions, the other one is by Samantha Lam, which I will
talk about tomorrow. The direct English translation of the title is “Dancing Street”.
The
lyrics of the song are about relaxing. The protagonist said that it is only a
minute away until the sky turn fully dark; there is no need to rush to
calculate the success or failure. Time flows as fast as lighting, if you want
to be happy, then you should go shopping. There is no need to turn the volume down,
the light of dusk is swaying in the wind. The cream coloured headphone is
comforting, and legs just never wanted to stay in the usual spot. Tomorrow
feels so far away and the world is rotating, do you wanna dance tonight.
Tomorrow feels so far away, everything is rotating, do you wanna hold me tight.
She should have been more active, there is nothing bad to dance in the swinging
wind. The new moves might look weird, but she felt very high this moment. There
is no need to be ambiguous, as the scenery at dusk is very beautiful. Just let
your shank dance, then the happiness in your heart will flow. Tomorrow feels so
far away and the world is rotating, do you wanna dance tonight. Tomorrow feels
so far away, everything is rotating, do you wanna hold me tight. Ho Jyut dai,
Chan Bou Lai, Ng Jyun Zai, Ngai Suk Fai, Si Hung Man Wai (These are all supposed
to be name, some of them sounds like some Cantonese phase, for example, Ng Jyun
Zai sounds like “Not willing” in Cantonese). Snakes and ants, Lau Bing Dai
(another made up name, but sounds similar in Cantonese as Runny nose), combined
with god (these three can all somewhat interpreted as made up name, they don’t
really hold much meaning through the context either), all are dancing, moving
their legs and twisting their hair, do you wanna dance tonight. Hope you will
like the song. As usual, I have linked to the original by Angie Gold for comparison.
