A Song a day: 21st May 2013 (出賣

The song that I chose for today is “出賣” by Joey Yung. I remember this song was very popular when it first came out. The direct English translation of the title is “Betrayal”.

The lyrics of the song is about the protagonist got betrayed by her closest friend. The song starts off telling us that the protagonist can’t believe that she is betrayed by her best friend (let call her May to make it easier to tell the story). May told the protagonist that she had warned the protagonist that the protagonist boyfriend wanted to dump her. May also told her that he love May more than her. The protagonist said that no matter how bad her boyfriend was, she can still face it, but now being betrayed by her best mate, it feels like she is being buried alive. She said even if she wanted revenge, she still wanted them to feel that they owe her. She feels angry as she feels that she had lost her love and friendship at the same time. She said perhaps that she is taking it ok, and even asked to be their bridesmaid when they get married. She said that her friend actually didn’t know her too well, she is the kind of person that the deeper she get hurt, the better person she tried to be. So she will do nothing and even play nice, so that the two of them will feel guilty. She said that trying to revenge is too much effort, so she will just stand on the side and watch them break apart as she knows that they will not last. Hope you will enjoy the song.
