30th Apr 2015 (私隱線 – Kay Tse)

The song for today is “私隱線” by Kay Tse. This song was very popular back in the year when it was released. The direct English translation of the title is “Privacy line”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist felt that she is over floated by private information that she had no interest in. It said, Passenger in the train, are sitting opposite to each other. Some of them are sleeping, some tried to find some way to get themselves entertained. But always there are a group that talks on the phone. Three to four of them, sited around, using their phone to talk to their best friend, ignoring everyone to talk loudly. How the share market fluctuated; how annoying are the relatives; the story of how Tim Fuk Cheung and Siu Bing Chu got together. A lot of information, and couldn’t not listen to it even she doesn’t want to. A anger fire is about to lit in her heart. How much money does his uncle got; his cousin is studying commerce. In this crowed cabin, privacy is being spread. No need to explain so much as she doesn’t want to know, she just wanted to listen to her music. She is now staring at him, but he ignores her as if he is in a twenty thousand square feet empty room, comfortable and happily talking. Even world issues doesn’t need to be spread here, so these tiny issues that doesn’t got to do with anything should only be talk about at home, could he? How low class he was born as, how much he wanted a kid, how Tim Fuk Cheung and Siu Bing Chu broke up. A lot of information, and couldn’t not listen to it even she doesn’t want to. The conferences call in the cabin, even if it was so dramatic, could they move away a bit to give her some room? No need to explain so much as she doesn’t want to know, she just wanted to listen to her music. Hope you will like the song.

29th Apr 2015 (C'est La Vie – Vivian Chow)

The song for today is “C'est La Vie” by Vivian Chow. This is one of Vivian’s classic songs. The title is in French, meaning “That’s life”.

The lyrics of the song are about letting go. It said, c'est la vie, love have to be at the right timing. When fate disappeared, it is better to just let it go. C'est la vie, you should stop crying for your misfortune. If you can let it go, you would be free like wind. The dark sun glasses, it is not enough to cover your tiredness. The grey eye sight is like a pin, pinned to the shadow of your heart. Hmm, previously it was unlimited love, now it becomes a splinter in the heart. How, to open your heart, so that you wouldn’t feel sad for the rest of your life? The memories of past love, now couldn’t remember too much. The letters now is just like rubbish, it no longer feel poetry. Previously unlimited love, believing that there is only a love per life time. How to make you feel better, to install the happy beat. C'est la vie, love have to be at the right timing. When fate disappeared, it is better to just let it go. C'est la vie, you should stop crying for your misfortune. If you have been loved, then memorising it isn’t that important. Hope you will like the song.

28th Apr 2015 (若 – AGA)

The song for today is “” by AGA. Since I talked about AGA yesterday, I think I should also talk about her newest song that she wrote for her sister who passed away due to cancer. The direct English translation of the title is “If”.

The lyrics of the song are about AGA’s feeling toward her sister I think. It said, if, if the things that you wanted to say couldn’t say it out loud, I would lean toward you and listen to your heart beat. I will always annoy you. If, if you sigh about not enough time to watch, then I will make sharing my time as the most important thing. We will talk and smile. Even if you really scare to cry in front of me, please remember that you watched me grew up, so why worry that you will drag me down? Life is like flowing water, please lay down truthfully. Even when you wanted to rest and forget about the things that you worried, please believe that if you work hard to carry on each day, you will have no energy to worry. Think too much will get you worry. If, if you are worry that you will not see the future, at least you and I still talks about our feelings, still can cry, still can love. Even if you really scare to cry in front of me, please remember that you watched me grew up, so why worry that you will drag me down? Who could you questions about life, just face it truthfully. Even when you wanted to rest and forget about the things that you worried, please believe that if you work hard to carry on each day, you will have no energy to worry. Just watch the kite to fly, no need to chase it. Even if you wanted to close your eyes to get into sleep peacefully, please believe that this love will bring you and me together again someday. We will wait for that day to come to argue again. Your humour, will always be remembered.

I found this song very touching, so hope you will enjoy it as well.

27th Apr 2015 (一 – AGA/一加一 – AGA and Gin Lee)

The song that I chose for today is “” by AGA. This song also got a duet version call “一加一”, which is sing by AGA and Gin Lee. This song was from last year. I had heard it many times and I really like it but never really know the name of the song until a few days ago. The direct English translation of the title is “One” (the duet version “一加一” is “One plus one”). Note that the lyrics of both version are exactly the same.

The lyrics of the song are about searching for love. It said, a sand leak into the romantic Ganges river, a flower wanted to form fruit; everyone wanted to be pair up with a partner. A star wanted to rush to the big universe, a trace of smoke looking forward to the love spark; but sadly there aren’t many good ending. The one that you hope for the most, the one that you like the most. Search and search, why couldn’t you found the one, why there are unlimited amount of odd numbers? The one that you got feeling to are always the hardest to be hug with. The feeling toward someone before you can see the answer. Unfortunately, always half a step away from your partner. Truthfully wish that God would know, hoping that he will help to create the loving even number. Those that you meet, you thought you have found it, but then it turn into smoke again. Fate, like it got lost. A light, like it worry to shine on lonely people, the house misses someone, a person passes by hoping that he will meet someone careering for him. When hopeless, you need someone that got feeling towards you. Search and search, why couldn’t you found the one, why there are unlimited amount of odd numbers? The one that you got feeling to are always the hardest to be hug with. The feeling toward someone before you can see the answer. Unfortunately, always half a step away from your partner. Truthfully wish that God would know, hoping that he will help to create the loving even number. Those that you meet, you thought you have found it, but then it turn into smoke again. Who is so lucky to be able to escape the desert island. Not scare of the trap of love, because eventually we will find it. Oh no, no. I believe that I will find it, I believe I will find it. Oh no, no. So many sand in the Ganges river and how many of them could stay together forever?  Or could there be an even number that could last forever. Those that pass away, wrong love will turn into cheer, even if you walk an extra distance, you will not waste it. Hope you will like the song.

26th Apr 2015 (相對論 – Hins Cheung/Hins Cheung and George Lam)

The song for today is “相對論” by Hins Cheng. As the melody was written by George Lam, there is a version that features George Lam (which I will also link to). The direct English translation of the title is “Relativity”.

The lyrics of the song are the protagonist understanding of love. It said, The mortal world is large, and it is nice to walk together, who wouldn’t wish for that. But that night, when she left, he felt that he is like a butterfly looking at Zhuang Zhou, existence and reality are two different things. (Zhuang Zhou is an ancient Chinese philosopher. A better known philosophy by Zhuang Zhou was “莊周夢蝶” (Zhuang Zhou dream butterfly), in which he had a dream, in the dream he turned into butterfly. After he woke up, he realised that he is still himself, a human. So he said how could be distinguish between reality and dream, if dream is real enough, no one could identify it as a dream.) He will keep roving. Before he was a teenager that chase after his dream, but that is just the back of loneliness. Previously he keep moving forward, then comes a period that he fall a lot. Previously he care the things right in front of him, and he never really care about the things that he left behind. But now he understand that things got a few faces, and it shows differences when it changes. Love is a limitless bubble, so just let it cover you. But it melts into your life and repeat every day. Keep living in a life that you look forward to everything, and relatively you feel happier. This moment he felt the inner peace and comfort, but he cried, cried, cried. He still wishes for a lot of things, but not getting them doesn’t need a reason. Someone once warmed his heart, but he have to bear with it now when it got cold. Floating on the road and they meet again, perhaps fate tight them together, who would have thought about this feeling after goodbye, it is too old to even become friend on internet. Previously, he looks for forever, and saw present. Never asked butterfly and Zhuang Zhou, but asked whether there is more time that he could steal. Existence and reality, if they are different, then he could only keep searching. Hope you will like the song.

25th Apr 2015 (最愛演唱會 – Kelly Chan)

The song for today is “最愛演唱會” by Kelly Chan. The direct English translation of the title is “Like concert the most”.

The lyrics of the song are about love, through concert, the protagonist think her past with her love one. She said, she didn’t remember how old they were back then. They were a pair, never argued nor cried. They paired up to cheer for someone. Lining up to love someone, resisting hunger to get tickets, then go to buy some coke. Big world, just like the stage, we changed our form of entertainment so we lost contact. We were both busy and fallen in love with other things. Who voted for the wrong thing, said that they shouldn’t be parted. Tomorrow the concert will start, let’s hope that both of them had learned how to hold onto someone until it ends and go to a café to cheer. So many concerts, had seated on both of his sides like they are a perfect match. They were once so passionate, but now don’t be let down. She should have learned by now how to enjoy the show and leave when it ends. She wanted to thanks him and not regret. He grabs her soda can and he holds her sweating hand. She long to see the boring band, because she is his super fan. She didn’t remember how old they were that year, but being his match, she felt so tired just like she was in a meeting. They moved forward and backward, not for someone else but to shorten their distance. Who is wishing that they could be sweeter than soft drink. Thanks him and her to be treated as perfect match by everyone. Hope you will like the song.

A: The road in front got a slim chance, please think twice. Wonder whether you ever regret. M: Need to fall back, but worry that it is too late, cried during the journey. A: tears already dropped. M: Carrying for others just for you. A: tears are dried up. M: yearn about the past. A: the promise in the heart, is hard to remove. T: Hopping that one day we will meet again. A: Human at this moment, how could we open our mouth? How do we use words to described our love?

T: Wish that one day we will meet again. Hope you will like the song.

23rd Apr 2015 (邊城 – Mr.)

The song for today is “邊城” by Mr. This is a song that I heard early today on radio, so the song is very new. The direct English translation of the title is “Edge city”.

The lyrics of the song are about how the world changes so much as we grow up. It said, in the long road ahead, which way we should head to as the world is so big. In the mist, how often are we separated. In the morning sweet dreams, heard yelling. If the door of the city gate is getting thicker, too tired to open. Oh no, just let it go. In our childhood, how much of the happiness we need to chase? In the bury love road, how much tears? In the piano blues, there are always happiness and sadness. Why when we get old, we wanted to sleep more? Oh no, just let it go. I don’t know. Who’s started the fight, like radiation. Who is the one that talk rubbish and pretend to be smart? How much nonsense could be projected? Who had happy hour with me and drunk a whole night? Who is willing to escape this city life? Who said that this time and space could only be borrowed? In our childhood, which suburb gave you beautiful memories? In the bury love road, how much tears? In the piano blues, there are always happiness and sadness. Why when we get old, we wanted to sleep more? Oh no, just let it go. I don’t know. Who’s started the fight, like radiation. Who is the one that talk rubbish and pretend to be smart? How much nonsense could be projected? Who had happy hour with me and drunk a whole night? Who is willing to escape the sadness of the city, come on five people from daylight to dark night. Who discovered these from today? Who’s started the fight, like radiation. Who is the one that talk rubbish and become angry. How much nonsense could be projected? Who had happy hour with me and drunk a whole night? Who is willing to escape this city life? Who is angry? Today need to be wild. Hope you will like the song.

22nd Apr 2015 (眼紅館 – Kenny Kwan)

The song for today is “眼紅館” by Kenny Kwan. I personally don’t like Kenny as to date, I still think that he can’t sing :p But what can you do with a generation of singer that sell their looks more than their singing technique. This song is actually one of his more popular song and personally quite like the song (much prefer someone else sing it thought). The title of the song actually plays with words. You can break the title up to two parts “眼紅” and “紅館”. “眼紅” means red eyes, indicating crying eyes, while “紅館” is the short way of calling 香港體育館 (Hong Kong Coliseum, people usually call it 紅磡體育館, hence紅館). Hong Kong Coliseum is a place famous for concert in Hong Kong, it is the location that first tier singer (at least used to be) used for concert, so many singers used that as their aim and an indication of their popularity.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist go to a concert and remembered that last time, his ex-girlfriend was there with him and he feels lonely. It said, those that he loved, come and sing together, applaud with ten thousand people. The glow sticks are glowing, but the memories are shinier. He thought about that night, the two in the stadium singing the encore section loudly. Those that happened, now will never happen again but he still dream about it. Yelling loudly, perhaps go onto the stage again. Couldn’t believe this section, perhaps it become a concert without the encore section. Ho he ho, who was the person that said to him that the stadium was cold. Ho he ho, who was the person that accompanied me to hand the flower to the performer? He realised that his eyes are red, and she is not in the old seat. It felt like that in a concert that hasn’t reaches its climax but the light is all turned on. He believed that she got red eyes as well. If she felt lonely as well, perhaps they both could yell in the Coliseum. No matter how noisy it gets, when he got dump he will cry. Those that had cried come and sing together as it will help healing. Glow sticks are getting dim, and soon it will be through away, similar to the relationship. Still haven’t seen the concert from last year.  Ho he ho, who was the person that said to him that the stadium was cold. Ho he ho, who was the person that accompanied me to hand the flower to the performer? He realised that his eyes are red, and she is not in the old seat. It felt like that in a concert that hasn’t reaches its climax but the light is all turned on. He believed that she got red eyes as well. If she felt lonely as well, then let’s search in the Coliseum together. Let’s take advantage of this darkness, when he thinks of it he will cry. Hope you will like the song.

21st Apr 2015 (愛後餘生 – Nicholas Tse)

The song for today is “愛後餘生” by Nicholas Tse. I have completely forgotten about this song, but happened to heard it today randomly. This song was a big hit many years ago and it was a movie theme song. The direct English translation of the title is “Life after love”.

The lyrics of the song are about the aftermath of breaking up, how the protagonist view and deal with the incident. He said, he shared her beauty once. Departed from her made him stronger. Making his dried skin shine, but hope that his heart wasn’t scratched. Even if from the beginning, he could forget to love others all because of her. Letting the hand go, and he could hug many other people. Even if the wide world is without love, but she is still there. Burn a whole forest, and used the heat to accompany it. Please don’t say to meet up another day, why not just say that she will skip the meeting next time. Let that warm bed sheet dry up, and lay on the road that you just passes by. Even if from the beginning, he could forget to love others all because of her. Letting the hand go, and he could hug many other people. Even if the wide world is without love, but she is still there. Even though she will never arrive again, but when he thought of her, how could he kiss another person again. Hope you will like the song.

20th Apr 2015 (3-7-20-1 – Gary Chaw)

The song for today is “3-7-20-1” by Gary Chaw (曹格). Gary is a Malaysian singer that make his name in Taiwan. This is a song released in 2007. The title actually got a meaning, it pronounced as “three seven twenty one”, which is a multiplication. But in Chinese we also say “不管3-7-20-1” (which is also part of the lyrics of the song), directly meaning “Don’t care three seven twenty one”, what it actually means is don’t care no matter what.

The lyrics of the song are about music. The protagonist said: “ my night life in Taipei is that type. Didn’t have time to make Oolong tea, but specifically make music. Melody are all surrounding, and I felt touched. Don’t close my ears, just leave me alone. One after another, different modified cars just passes by. Beautiful cars and beauty ladies, bump bump bump. La si do re do la la la, I cleared my throat, preparing to be connected to the world. I don’t want to run away, I just wanna play. Don’t care 3-7-20-1, I will just flow with the feeling. I don’t want to run away, I just wanna feel. Get rid of 3-7-20-1, I need to progress. Taipei my new friends, use music to say hello. I will not be a party animal, but will still be high. Feeling are jumping between my fingers, and I couldn’t control it. Don’t come to try to lock me down, just leave me alone”. Hope you will like the song.

19th Apr 2015 (等 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “” by Jaince Vidal. This is one of my favourite songs. The English translation of the title is “Wait”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that she is waiting for a bunch of flower that never arrived. Waiting for a pile of beautiful lies. Waiting for him to visit her home, waiting for friends to say that he is not bad. Waiting until he is willing to travel with her and still hopping that he will not lie and loves her truthfully. Those that she couldn’t wait for disappeared like running sand. If looking forward to obtain the end result, she is willing to be crazy about him, then the pains that she experienced are worth it. She hate herself for being too passively looking for false hopes. Feeling the bitterness in her heart to change for him. Hoping for too much, what is she in hope to get after waiting. Would he ever be able to change his mistakes? He makes mistake again, and she have to take the pain of waiting again. Now asked what have she been waiting for? Waited, and he arrived to complained. Her truthfulness toward him was all from her will. Couldn’t wait any more, so meeting every day to look like that they are in love. She doesn’t want to wait until they broke up, so she agreed to his wild promise. If the hopes are too far away, then she could only wait, wait for the different emotions. Always hopes that he could touch her, so that she could understand how to be in love crazily. If he really loves her, he would be willing to do anything.  If looking forward to obtain the end result, she is willing to be crazy about him, then the pains that she experienced are worth it. She hate herself for being too passively looking for false hopes. Feeling the bitterness in her heart to change for him. Hoping for too much, what is she in hope to get after waiting. Would he ever be able to change his mistakes? He makes mistake again, and she have to take the pain of waiting again. Now asked what have she been waiting for? Hope you will like the song.

18th Apr 2015 (今生無悔 – Dave Wong)

The song for today is “今生無悔” by Dave Wong. This song is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “No regret this life”. This song was the theme song of a TVB drama in 1991.

According to what I found on internet, the lyrics of the song describe the life of Dave. It said, this cool face, is not my act, because time emotionlessly drawn. You once cried when you smiled. Sadness is much stronger than craziness a few hundreds time. No matter what kind of interaction, thinking of them is too tiring. Worry to realise that they contradict to his principle. Rather to pay with everything that he got but never say regret. Should or should not meet. Me and you, there are no need to talk about anything, because we both once admired each other. Come, you are dry, and you managed to found me. Please don’t ask how I become so spiritless. Still trying to survive in the real world, we can get drunk together. Add another glass to celebrate our gathering. Me and you, there are no need to talk about anything, because we both once admired each other. The sky suddenly got dark. Hope you will like the song.

17th Apr 2015 (劇情需要 – Leo Ku and Kary Ng)

The song for today is “劇情需要” by Leo Ku and Kary Ng. This was a song from the stage performance of 森美小儀歌劇團. The direct English translation of the title is “Needed by the plot”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. I will represent Kary’s line by “K:” and when they sing together “T:” (Leo doesn’t had any solo part in this song). K: Prince of the fairy-tale had been selected, if you found that you like me give me some reaction. Never denied, so the people that love us will be scared. So stop arguing and follow the plot. The grand setting on the stage, lost everything to your movement, facial reaction and your eyes. How many times did we have to fight to understand the value of love. No need to fight with you to dead to get excitement. In the past, we were like the two poles, but now you comfort me. We now both carry the role of lover. T: Not lying and not dodging, if I realised that I love you I will hug you. Between us, there are no acting, but there are feelings and we are not scare of death. We could get people to talk about our legend. The scene support our nerve, it is hard to suppress the feeling from the act. How many times did we have to fight to understand the value of love. No need to fight with you to dead to get excitement. In the past, we were like the two poles, but now you comfort me. We now both carry the role of lover. Be the main cast to carry this closely related roles, crying for the happy moment. Hope you will like the song.

16th Apr 2015 (或許 – Robynn & Kendy)

The song for today is “或許” by Robynn & Kendy. The direct English translation of the title is “Perhaps”.

The lyrics of the song are about how to accept our true self. The protagonist said, perhaps she didn’t have an eyes catching face. Perhaps her thought is too simple. Perhaps she couldn’t please the whole world, all because she wanted to act as herself. Perhaps she needs to go around a few more time. Perhaps she gets a bit lost. Perhaps that happiness is somewhere out there. How far, couldn’t calculate. If she is worth your attention, how much harder does she need to work in order to get herself to be a bit cuter. Hard to match up, is that selfish? Should she tell him? If she found out her weakness, please give her courage and let her act it out with a smile without cover. Open her heart and doesn’t make him hate her. Perhaps she just wanted to be hugged. Perhaps her hands are cold. If he is not prepared to understand, then she will feel hurt. If she is worth your attention, how much harder does she need to work in order to get herself to be a bit cuter. Hard to match up, is that selfish? Should she tell him? If she found out her weakness, please give her courage and let her act it out with a smile without cover. Open her heart, who is still on her side. If love need to be explored, exposing yourself, who wouldn’t be worried about the risk? Still bravely act as herself, she knows that it is not easy. There is always weakness in humanity. Go into her heart and explore her positive side. She doesn’t want to cover it. If it is not as great as he thought, could he still accept it? Hope you will like the song.

15th Apr 2015 (默契 – Sammi Cheng)

The song for today is “默契” by Sammi Cheng. This is a song from 1996. The title is a bit hard to translate as I don’t think there is a direct compatible word in English that describe it. The phase of the title means an understanding between a group of people where without any sign (or very minimal sign) they understand each other and coordinate very well. So the best translation of the title that I could think of is “Silence understanding”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that it is because they had been separated, and that she thought of their past, she is very clear on how love gone wrong. She knows clearly that he loves her, but sadly she was so stupid back then. She always did wrong and tried too hard to be herself, so she never treasured the people around her. But she no longer wanted to miss out, because she can see it all clearly through time. From the beginning to the end, there is only him that couldn’t be replaced as his love was very tender. Quietly looking at each other and they still feel comfortable. How to predict the future, but the silence understand between themselves could last forever. It is him who makes her life perfect. No one would be as good as him as he is everything that she got. Hope you will like the song.
