30th Mar 2016 (圓 - AGA)

The song for today is “” by AGA. I quite like Aga, I think she got a good voice and very talented. However, I think she need to have a wider variety of songs. It seems that many of her songs sound alike. Despite I like them all, but sometime I found it hard to distinguish between some of them. Anyway, back to this song. The direct English translation of the title is “Circle”. This word in Chinese also means complete or whole.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The lyrics heavily played with words, “”, “”, “”, “” and “” all pronounce the same (well, “” pronounce slightly differently, but close enough), but all have different meaning (“circle”, “end”, “fate”, “wish” and “park”). The protagonist said: “’Circle’ is complete; ‘circle’ is that face that make people feel sweet. ‘Circle’ is the ring that we created when we turn during dancing; turn and turn and created love. ‘End’ is ‘lacking’, ‘end’ is that sentence that painful goodbye. Most worry that the person that I love the most would be seen again, can only mourn happiness. Who is waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for the full moon. Who is worry, worry, worry, worry that happiness will be used up. Know that there is lover forever? Ending is the new beginning. The wish of gathering. Leaving one, opening one, a new one. The circle in our world perhaps is not fateful enough, but we will meet one day. The wish of fulfilling the disappointments. Willing to pray for a thousand times. If I can keep one happiness, this one, will still be warm, even when it is not considered as a perfect circular line. Who, walk, walk, walk, walked outside the paradise. Who is painful, painful, painful, heal in the pain. Even when there is still a long distance, I believe fate is on my side. The wish of gathering. Leaving one, opening one, a new one. The circle in our world perhaps is not fateful enough, but we will meet one day. The wish of fulfilling the disappointments. Willing to pray for a thousand times. If I can keep one happiness, this one, will still be warm, even if it is a circle that have a missing piece. Sadness let you to be more open-minded, let look into the distance. Don’t mind about the almost happy, almost warm, almost good future. My little wish, leaving one, opening one, a new one. The fate in our world could be drawn to be more complete. The defect from the past would make the world better. Still carrying the little wish, wish that the new year, another year, a new one. If I can keep one happiness, this one, will still be warm, at least what you lack today will see it tomorrow.” Hope you will like the song.

28th Mar 2016 (月球下的人 – Gin Lee)

The song for today is “月球下的人” by Gin Lee. This is Gin’s latest song, I really like it. It is one of the few songs that I have been looping a lot recently. The direct English translation of the title is “The person under the moon”. The title of the song is very similar to Eason’s “月球上的人” (only differ by 1 word really). The lyrics of both songs are written by the same person, but they are not really a pair. While both talk about a similar theme, the stories are not related.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist thinking of the person that she loves, even though they are now apart. She said: “Wishing to fly to the quite moon to gaze at the windows of every family, and find out who is beside their love one enjoying the smell of rose on their balcony. The decoration is beautiful, a warm environment, fulfilling each and every pair. Who is now accompanying you to gaze at the moon and to forget about the sadness in the world? Full moon is only deserved to be hang on a gathering night. Biasedly shining on the happy couples, like I am alone living in a faraway universe, only deserved to be singing alone. Shouldn’t remembered, but why remembered? We never own each other anything, so why jealous? Your world at the beginning, there was already someone there to take care, making a dish to create happiness and sadness. Only should remembered that dandelion will always fly, it just that it happened to fly into the monochrome beauty of the memories. Looking at the crescent moon tonight, and it looks like your eye brows. Letting you face fly with the moon, still beautiful even when everything is all overed. If I go past you old balcony to get back to my home, I wish that the decoration would still be like the way it was before. Sadly, the place of your partner have already been taken over by someone else. If there is still a promise that is hard to keep, let her sing with you. Shouldn’t remembered, but why remembered? We never own each other anything, so why jealous? Your world at the beginning, there was already someone there to take care, making a dish to create happiness and sadness. Only should remembered that dandelion will always fly, it just that it happened to fly into the monochrome beauty of the memories. The most crowded city, it is hard for lonely people to connected. I gaze from the moon, The light from each family feel so cold. Shouldn’t remembered, the sadness and happiness from the past, as they are all tricks of cruelty. The smell of black hair, after you lover brushed it, they flew away when they rove on my finger nail. Should only remembered that cherry blossom will always die. The petals will become the abstract beauty of my memories. Facing the same crescent moon, as I guess it still counts as that we haven’t departed. Let the memories fade with time. Even if I couldn’t bring it away, I still remember you.” Hope you will like the song.

25th Mar 2016 (穿花蝴蝶 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “穿花蝴蝶” by Janice Vidal. This is Janice latest song, her first song since she changed company. I am glad to see that she is becoming more active again. The direct English translation of the title is “Butterfly that wear flowers”.

The lyrics, I believe, are about letting go of your old self and becoming something even better and brighter. The protagonist said: “Who is she, who is she, looking at the mirror, there is only a wasteland. Who is she? This tear, is from me, but the feeling already gone. Nothing much, but the tears destroyed the makeup on my face. Clean it up then go to bed. Too tired to act, just stay inside the wall. Eyebrow and the forehead quietly shaken. Putting on makeup for so many years, that they have covered up my tiredness. Who would have noticed that perhaps I am about to be push too much too become crazy. Like butterfly break out from it cocoon, and the blow of the spring wind. I will open my wing, would others admire me? Face shows no fear, fly toward the sunset sky. Don’t care, don’t care, who is touching my skin. Only care that I can feel better. If I can be elegant, then there wouldn’t be any worry in the future. Who am I, who am I, why I dreamed that there would be rainbow after the rain? So sweet that I freed myself. Eyebrow and the forehead quietly shaken. For so long, the role has controlled my face. It is my pain, should I should be able to be agitated. Then I can relax, just like the butterfly break out from its cocoon. The spring wind blow, I opened my wings, could you see me fly? Face shows no fear, fly toward the yellow sky.” Hope you will like the song.

23th Mar 2016 (Believe in Live – Charmaine Fong)

The song for today is “Believe in Live” by Charmaine Fong. This is Charmaine’s latest song. Personally I quite like Charmain’s songs, she had been a bit quite for the last few years but had make a comeback since last year. Some of her songs are quite different to other Canton-pop, such as the song for today.

This song is the theme song for her concert. As such, the melody tried to get you moving and the lyrics somewhat like describing a party.  The protagonist said: “From today, male and female will have the same goal. Through away the troubles, smiling will make life easier. Love at the right time, come and hug for once. No beat, but there is a kiss with hints. Unbutton your clothes, and allow you to have it freely, the whole city will sweat to rotate your universe. Landed on the moon and play the music on the moon. Floating in this messy world but I don’t want to leave. Everyone is yelling, the minute arm is rotating at the speed of second. About to lose control, let the body to be free in fanaticism. Quicker, where to go tonight? Through aside any homework or work. Even if the sky fall, you can still be happy, smile to arrive. What will happen tomorrow morning? Where to go tonight? To be happy, you got to be spontaneous and you got to be first. 1234 I just want to listen to your heart. Hey can you tell me what you’ve got.. Never is too late, say it once more. Finally happened, this time. Don’t kill my v-i-&-b-e, feel so raw. Hey yo life’s short, take your chance to reach your thoughts. You just have to get the fun out of rocks. You’ve got to make your prayer, you’ve got to love your fellas. No matter good or bad you’ve got to cha cha cha. Hold up you bullets, forget all the reminiscence, the sun will shine up your life, you believe you’ll fly then you’ll fly. But first of all, believe in live”. Hope you will like this song.

21st Mar 2016 (勇 – Miriam Yeung)

The song for today is “” by Miriam Yeung. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “Brave”.

The lyrics of the song are about a girl who is willing to do anything for her love one. She said: “It is not like I scare of nothing. It is not like I am not scare of death. But before the romantic kiss, no matter now rough it is, for you I will treat them all as a flat land. Loving you doesn’t need to make sense. I just wish to use my instant to hold onto you. When I thought of you, the strength that I never got suddenly injected into my soft arms. People around never agreed, and moral wouldn’t accept this. Giving it everything, to a point that I couldn’t feel pain even when I am hurt. Just like crazily chasing after a dream, no matter how other pushes forward, they are still nowhere near how brave I am for you. No matter how red the red light on the road gets, no one would be able to block me. Even if a million horses and a thousand army is in front I will still push. I am not tender, but I am a bit brave. I also wanted to be loved, but I am willing to act as the hero to protect you. Even when you don’t give me a badge, I am still willing to keep going, smile for you to block off the danger. Falling then getting back up, just like a tumbler. Even though it is clear that I will be empty handed, but I will still give it my 100%. No more support, but I am still a bit brave. Those that wanted to be love, they all love bravely.” Hope you will like the song.

19th Mar 2016 (猜情尋 – Eason Chan)

The song for today is “猜情尋” by Eason Chan. This is another reader request. The title “猜情尋” in Cantonese broadly means any games that you play with hand, but generally it referred to rock scissor paper.

The lyrics of the song are about life, how you see success, the lyrics are actually quite deep. The protagonist said: “Games, even if you lose there is a limit. If it is so hard like a roller coaster, how to deal with it? No matter whether you will be able to have a bright future, if you play seriously, played the game with heart, it will be more fun. If there is lose in the game, then there is also win. Apart from strength, there is also fate. At the beginning you just wanted to play, why suddenly you wanted to gamble your life? Why scared and too worry, quickly listen. No matter whether it is smart or stupid, don’t think of it like you will need to battle this out with your life. Rock scissor paper, perhaps not as good as others, it will not affect how you smile to others. Never said that you need to win, if you managed to have fun then there is no regret. Rock scissor paper, rock scissor paper, even when you lose you can gain more than others, as you have got an extra lesson. Forward or backward is just a dream. After shaken, it is still a good dream. Not matter wither you could shine or not, your future is still useful. Your dreams fall through, then you will have free time to relax. No matter whether it is smart or stupid, don’t think of it like you will need to battle this out with your life. Rock scissor paper, perhaps not as good as others, it will not affect how you smile to others. Never said that you need to win, if you managed to have fun then there is no regret. Rock scissor paper, rock scissor paper, even when you lose you can gain more than others, as you have got an extra lesson. Can gain more than others. No need to treat it so seriously.” Hope you will enjoy this song.

17th Mar 2016 (下一站天后 – Twins)

The song for today is “下一站天后” by Twins. This is a reader request.  Personally I quite like this song, this is one of the few Twins songs that I actually from time to time. This song was the theme song for a movie, in which a girl dreamed to be a singer, but was rejected due to her looks. The phase “天后” have two meaning, one is “Tin Hau”, a place in Hong Kong, the other means “Sky queen” (a goddess in Chinese legend). While the lyrics plays with the idea of both meaning, I would guess that in this context, it would take the later meaning, as it is also a phase that used to describe a very popular singer (i.e. singing queen). So as such, the direct English translation of the title is “Next station Queen”. You may also like to listen to 司機” by Shawn Yu, which was also from the same movie.

The lyrics of the song are being a singing star. The protagonist said: “Standing at the front of Daimaru (a department store from Japan. There is a branch in Hong Kong, and it was a famous landmark), carefully looking through my road. The next station, to be queen, that would be great. But during the glamorous road of being a star, if I suddenly scare of height, would he still hug me from my back? The couple at Paterson street (a street in Hong Kong), they show their pride on their face. Allowing me to sing freely on the stage, it may not be the best as the fame would be like bobble (i.e. it will easily disappear). Even if I have my concert, and someone wanted to sing, he still can’t get to the venue. Still felt that I wasted my life, if I don’t love, how could I sing? No matter how many love songs there is for me to sing, it will still be a stretch. How will I shine? It is still very different that singing tenderly to the ears of my love one. Flying in my daydream, it is not too far, not too abstract. Later I become the queen, become the bride, both are my dream. At the square of time, everyone will get an award. If I don’t have any fan, I will have him to admire me. No matter how many love songs there is for me to sing, it will still be a stretch. How will I shine? It is still very different that singing tenderly to the ears of my love one. Really, my biggest dream is to follow him home and sing for him.” Hope you will like the song.

15th Mar 2016 (四不像 – Vincy Chan)

The song for today is “四不像” by Vincy Chan. This is Vincy’s latest song. The title “四不像” literately means “Doesn’t looks like any of the four”, it is either used to describe an ancient mascot/animal that have different parts resemblant different animal, or used as a word to describe something that doesn’t resemblant anything.

The lyrics of the song are about love. On the description of the official YouTube video, it explained that the protagonist tried to get the person that she loves to love her back, even though she knows it will not happen. And so to try to do that, she gave up her personality, her feeling, making herself become a 四不像. She said: “Thanks you for saying that I am a kind person and looks like I like to listen to other people. When I am the best accompanying thing, it really doesn’t matter what I look like. Able to be together, there wouldn’t be without a reason. The best of these pair is that they look like a pair of kind people that just meet. But just to match with you. Who no one asked whether I am willing to do so or not? I am myself, but for you I become nothing alike. Then I have to forget myself to keep you on my side. Being admired, felt like I got hurt. Really, did you understand me? Really what can I talked to you? I we speak the truth? If you really scare to know me, when we first argued, what made you loved me? Forgive me that I never was honest to you. I once forced myself to change just for you, never cared whether that was good or not in other people eyes. When I got the courage to not worry about you disliking me, then I will gain my status to become that person that you most loved. Crazy for you, but have I forgotten my heart? Being too much of myself may get many haters. But when you have tamed me, how happy are you to be with a sheep? If we have never have our own point of view, you may perhaps think that I never get angry. So please be careful that the one you love is not me. Really did you thought to care about me? Really what’s the quality that I have that worth your love? Can you say the truth? If you scare to know me, at the beginning when I was not cute and not nice. I wanted to get this clear. Forgive me that I never been honest with you. I had tried to changed myself for you. I never cared whether it was a good thing or not, if I don’t care to be hated. I feeling good about acting too much, you dare to love me? Who fault was it that one of us love the other much earlier. If I am like myself, would I have forced you to dislike me?” Hope you will like the song.

13th Mar 2016 (多少年 – JW)

For those that have been following, I have finally completed most of my online courses homework/tests/exams :D So I should be able to go back to my regular posting schedule :D

The song that I pick for today is “多少年” by JW. This is JW latest song. Personally I quite like JW voice, I think all she lacks now is a very popular song that bring her to the next stage. The direct English translation of the title “Very young adult”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The Protagonist talks about how much more life experience she need until she will learn to treasure love. She said: “The road ahead is wider, I also wish that I could still have hope. Perhaps there will be love on the road, but I have always turned dimmed, what’s there to see? After I grew up, I felt more uncomfortable. Worry about dire, so I wash my face with tears. How many years need to past, how many disappointments I got to go through, until we learn to put our gain and losses aside. How many love will we need to waste? Traveling around the world, to get to this distance place to backpacking. Casually closed my eyes to wait for the sun light, to help me released. My ex, I counted and counted until the sky turn bright. My tears run dry, and let all the past filled up my bed. How many years need to past, how many disappointments I got to go through, until we learn to put our gain and losses aside. How many love will we need to waste? Then I will know that I can fly, fly outside the pain. Then know that I can run, got lost and become a dust. Escaping from so many waiting, anyone could leave quietly. Who do I actually like? Perhaps I like being lonely. But the pain is in my heart, then I gave in again. Couldn’t quite let go. I know that I love you. How many of me have I scarified?” Hope you will like the song.

7th Mar 2016 (世界真細小 – Hackend Lee and Joey Yung)

The song for today is “世界真細小” by Hacken Lee and Joey Yung. This song is a reader request. It was a song from last year, for their concert. The direct English translation of the title is “A small world”.

The lyrics of the song are about an ex-couple bumping into each other, wanting to show the other how good their life have been after they broke up. I will represent Hacken’s line with “H:”, Joey’s by “J:” and together by “T:”. “H: Why today have been chosen? A day that I didn’t prepared for. How long it has been since I broke up with my ex, and yet we bump into each other today. I didn’t have my wife next to me, I am not riding a sport car, how could I give you the impression that I am better than the me from before? J: Thought to be with you again, and yet this moment it become the truth. I am shock, like I am about to be punished. H: would hugging really stick out? J: When I have healed. H: The feeling is over the top, the aftertaste of old partner and old secrets. J: Meeting with you, it will be weird to talk about the old faults. How’s have you been? H: Everything is fine without changes? J: Have you been happy? H: You must have a partner by now right? J: Universe is so small H: No matter how hard I dodge, we will still meet? J: This meet up is scary. So today only want to bump in by chance? H: I can only rush to pretend to be elegant. J: I didn’t bother you right? H: Turning back actually don’t have room to run right? J: Let’s talk for a bit longer then. H: How to use this chance to clear the debt? J: We can try to dodge on the road, but could we do the same in our memories? H: Meeting you in this narrow road, felt as if I couldn’t cross over. J: Shaking hands and we can let go together? H: Can we let go together? J: Tried my hardest to be elegant, or not being scare to start arguing on the street. After so many practice, the day finally comes. But there isn’t a decoration for the spotlight, only a pair of broken socking. How could I get you to remember the day when you dump me. H:  Thought to be with you again, and yet this moment it become the truth. I am shock, like I am about to be punished. J: It is better than waiting until we are 50 or 60, then to clear this up. H: But this end of the world is more quite than what I thought. J: More than half of our life, and we are against each other. H: No one cried. T: Rather to clear this out right now. H: The world is not large enough. J: Enemy and lover will always meet again. H: The more you try to run, the more you meet. J: Why Mang Po tea is not available to normal people? (“Mang Po” is a legend in the Chinese culture. It was believed that once you pass away, you will need to cross a bridge, and on the bridge, an old lady, referring to Mang Po will hand you a soup (or tea). After drinking it you will forget your pass life and ready for reincarnation). H: If you know that you are scare, could you just face it quickly? J: Lift my head and just face it? H: No matter how scare it seems, it couldn’t fight against letting go. J: Pessimistic can just disappeared. H: Let the ex keep coming. J: Like my old habit, scared then I will backed off. H: Just like sickness and pass away, all got used to. J: Why bother on the moment when I turned around. H: If you bump into disasters, you would instantly befriend with it? J: Understood that the universe that I lived in is a small world. H: Then you will not be scared anymore. J: No time to be scared. H: Understand? J: Trying.” Hope you will like the song.

3rd Mar 2016 (你懂我 – Linda Chung)

I have been a bit busy lately, so I haven’t been able to update this blog at my usual schedule. This will probably go on for the next two weeks as well :( Anyway, back to usual business. The song for today is “你懂我” by Linda Chung. This song is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “You understand me”.

The lyrics of the song is about life. The protagonist said: “Every day I wish to become a great person. Tried to make myself brighter, every day I told myself how I should act. Slowly I become cold, like a frozen river. Whoever tried to get closer, I will kick them away. So I hide my heart away. A lot of rushing and chasing, but I never felt that I lived. Day by day, hope is getting slimmer. Simple happiness, only you can, always can. Got used to it since I was young, when I faced problem, I will push myself to face it. Lucky I still got you, got you to understand me. Every time when I hurt my hand, who could look after me the whole day. Lucky I got you to relay on. Look around, everyone else got their special someone. I always dreamed, what should I do when it finally is my turn. Slowly I understand when you are with me, who will accidently fall into my heart?” Hope you will like the song.
