A Song a day: 21st Jan 2013 (愛與痛的邊緣

The song that I chose today is “愛與痛的邊緣” by Faye Wong. This song came out in 1994, it was very popular back then, as it was also the period when Faye was being popular. Though it is only today I realised that there is a original mandarin version of this song call “有多少愛可以重來” by Michael Huang (黃仲崑). Anyways, back to Faye’s version, the direct English translation of the title is “On the edge of love and pain”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist is in an unstable relationship. She thought about the time that they were together and wonder how it gets to this point. She has been waiting for her boyfriend for a long time, but he didn’t show up. She feels that her boyfriend don’t like her anymore, but she wonder why he don’t dump her. She don’t want the relationship to go on like this so she wanted to break up with him, yet her heart is still thinking of him and wanted to stay with him. So she is in the stage of love and pain. Hope you will like the song. I have also linked the mandarin version sung by Michael just in case you wanted to listen to it.
