30th Aug 2013 (忘不了您 – Alan Tam/戀人よ – Mayumi Itsuwa (五輪真弓 ) )

The song for today is “忘不了您” by Alan Tam. This is one of Alan’s signature songs and it is one of my favourite from Alan. The direct English translation of the title is “Can’t forget you”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that his girlfriend is very important to him. She makes him feels that every day is a sunny day. He have forgotten how they have meet or why he fallen in love with her, but he will remember for life that he loves for his whole life and always be truthful to her. She is the person that gave him hope and gets him to look forward every day. Hope you will like this song.

Edit on 3rd Aug 2014:
I just realised that this song is a Cantonese cover version of the Japanese song “戀人よ” by Mayumi Itsuwa (五輪真弓 . Apparently there are a few more Cantonese cover of this song, perhaps I will talk about them in the future. I have now also linked to the original Japanese version. Enjoy :D

    1. Hi, I am not aware of an English version. Though the original Japanese song seems to have many different Chinese cover versions, I will probably translate a few of them in the near future.

    3. Hi Sunny,

      Thank you for your replies and for sharing the songs.

      All Chinese versions are good. Unfortunately, the quality of the sound is not that great.

    4. Ya, good quality version are very hard to come by. Alan’s “忘不了您” is the easiest one to as it probably the most popular one of all. Teresa Cheung’s “離人” is just impossible to find a good version, there seems to be only a single upload of the song across the internet. I guess the other cover versions are just not popular back then and so not many copies were retained until the digital age to get transferred to YouTube or other video hosting website.

  2. YouTube quality is rarely good.
