The
song that I chose for today is “剪愛” by A-Mei. A-Mei is a very popular
singer in Taiwan. I am not a fan of hers so I never pay much attention to her,
but heard this song yesterday and I love it so much. This song, is rather old,
I think it came out in her first ever album in 1996. The direct English translation
of the title is “Cut love”.
The
lyrics of the song are about the protagonist just broke up with her boyfriend and
she now got a broken heart. It begins by telling us that her boyfriend had changed
his heart and so he didn’t kept his promises to her. She said if their
relationship is broke off, then there is no point to be sad about it. But she
kept her eyes closed and listened to his excuses; she was not dared to look at
his expression. There are full of stars in the sky, and her tears just keep
dropping. She tried not to talk about it and tried to reflect on the whole
incident, at the end she manage to escape love. So she cut ‘love’ into pieces
and let it follow the wind into the sea. She said that there are many things in
the world that she will not understand until tears started to drop. As naive as
she is, she thought that she can hold on and look forward to the future, but no
one can assure that her love will be free from dirt. She cut ‘love’ into pieces
again and let it flow with the wind. She realised that the deeper she is hurt,
the more she understand that she have to let go. She said that it’s her fault
to become too relay on him, and from that point, she had turned love to hurt.
She realised that she can’t cut away their old happy memories. Hope you will
enjoy the song.
剪愛 – A-Mei
