15th Aug 2013 (秋去秋來 – Sally Yip)

The song that I chose for today is “秋去秋來” by Sally Yip. This is one of Sally’s classic songs. The direct English translation of the title “Autumn come, autumn goes”.

The lyrics of the songs are about love. It is autumn, and the red and yellow leaves are lying on the protagonist’s window. She is thinking of him, whether he would feel cold. She wonders why it was him who get her thinking, and why every time she think of him, she feel pain. It’s the cold autumn again, and the never ending sadness autumn. She wonders whether he knows that after he left, she has been thinking of him. People always ask her why she is waiting for him and how could she not fallen in love with another person. She told herself that forgetting him makes sense, but every time she saw fallen leaves, she thought of him. So she rather there will be no autumn. Every time in autumn, she cries. She wonders when she will be able to see him again. She wonders to what age she will finally accept the fact that their relationship had ended. Every time autumn comes by, she feel empty, the only thing that keep her going is to believe that they will meet each other again. Hope you will like the song.
