29th May 2013 (你我她 – Vincy Chan)

The song that I chose for today is “你我她” by Vincy Chan. From memory this is one of her earlier song, one from her first album. The direct English translation of the title is “You me her”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that she went into a metro, and saw three obsessed person. She believes that there are romances, so she wanted to date a boy and have dinner with him. She is now on a street and saw three disappointed person. She wanted to go onto shops to get rid of the cold feeling. She feel that in this city there are no rooms for fairy tale. Beauty is in our heart, but who will understand our inner beauty. We all live in the same city, but we are all worry. Have you not fallen in love with someone? Trusted love? But at the end, the streets are full of sadness. Happiness is in our heart, but who will treasure it. How many of us had failed? Are there so many to fill up the city? And now we all go home and who is left crying? We had once cried so badly that our tears could fill up the sea, but these tears will evaporate under the sun. Everywhere in the city is busy, and she is also working hard to try to forget. She wishes that he could let it go as well.

To be honest, I found the lyrics hard to translate as it doesn’t quite form a complete story. But I think what it trying to say is that there is this girl, who just broke up with her boyfriend. She is walking around the city and saw many couples are breaking up. She wondered what happened to them, why they end up like her. Then she thought what would they do now, cry on the street? She believe that all of them would just end up going home straight away, none will cry on the street like she did. Hope you like the song.
