17th Feb 2013 (愛的根源 – Alan Tam)

The song that I chose for today is “愛的根源” by Alan Tam. I just realised that I actually haven’t talk much about Alan, so I decided to choose one of his classic song for today. Alan is a famous singer in Hong Kong, but he was very very popular in the 80’s and 90’s. These days he is being called as the Principal (of Hong Kong music) as he have been working in the field for a very long time, and that he tends to give support to newer singers, so he is a very respectful figure in Hong Kong industry. Back to the song, the direct English translation of the title is “Source of love”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The lyrics are very simple, it basically just say that the protagonist belong to his love one. It starts off saying that he is living only because of her. And when he was traveling in his journey of life, someone had lightened up his heart, making him feel warm. When he closes his eyes, he feels that as if it was yesterday that he just knows her. It is a song that is full of love. A fun fact to point out, the first line “殞石旁的天際” (in English meaning “the sky next to the asteroid”) doesn’t mean much alone. The song written once explain that it is actually English (as in the pronunciation of these words in Cantonese sounds similar to English) the line actually represent “Once upon a time”. Anyway, hope you will enjoy the song.
