29th Nov 2015 (傷感的戀人– Christopher Wong)

The song for today is “傷感的戀人” by Christopher Wong. This is one of the earliest songs by Christopher. The direct English translation of the title is “Sad lover”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist broken up with his girlfriend and it describe his feeling. He said: “The rain in the wind, made me all wet. The long night arrived, extended the pain. Don’t know the reason, just wanted to wait. Then you arrived, bought along sadness. The smoke turned off, my mind is full of questions. Kiss when shaking, gazing at you when you turn. No going to ask why, just blame fate. Then you moved away, falling into someone else heart. You were like cold winf, could never let me get closer. I’ll love you more than anyone, warming your heart. How could I lock you up, so that you will treat me more seriously. I’ll love you more than anyone, even when the cold wind blows.” Hope you will like the song.

1st Aug 2014 (情深緣淺 – Christophe Wong)

The song for today is “情深緣淺” by Christophe Wong. This song was from the 90’s, from memories it was quite popular. The closest English translate that I can come up with is “Deep love, shallow fate” (the word “緣” doesn’t exactly mean fate, but that’s the closest English there is to it).

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he finally found out who was the person that attracted his girlfriend. But please don’t let that guy to tell me. He finally understands what pain is; it felt like he didn’t know anything and other just transported him. Even if they break up, he feels that it is still ok for her to tell him directly at some holiday event. So tactful, so cruel; hinting to him not to dream about the future of the relationship. In the past, they connected through their breath, but now, they rely on someone else to end their dream. Let’s hope this is just another way to relieve him. As she is scare to see him cry, so she let her new boyfriend to guide him out, let the new guy to do the job, to speak the truth. Perhaps it is better for other to speak to him. From the expression, and the self-confident of this new guy, it makes the protagonist feels sad but also jealous. Hope you will like the song.

28th Nov 2013 (雨中的戀人們 – Christopher Wong/恋人も濡れる街角 – Masatoshi Nakamura (中村雅俊))

The song that I chose for today is “雨中的戀人們” by Christopher Wong. This is Christopher’s classic song. To be honest, all these time I thought this song was sung by a different person, until yesterday I heard it on the radio and was shock to realise that it was sing by Christopher. The direct English translation of the title is “The couple in the rain”. This song is the Chinese cover version of the Japanese song “恋人も濡れる街角” by Masatoshi Nakamura (中村雅俊)

The lyrics are about love. The protagonist said that with the lost dream, he looks at the couple in the rain, saying good bye to each other. That coldness after the rain, he felt that it is the same from that day. That lonely wind is still full of emotions. The lovely memories from that day are still dancing in his heart. He walks around the street in the rainy day, many cars passed by. That fallen umbrella is like a tired face. He found himself still hurt from the fact that he had been forgotten. He wishes the rain could wet his dream. The sun seems to understand his sadness, so it shine on him after the rain and gave him warmness. He wonders whether he will meet her again here, bring away his loneliness and give him a warm hug. Seeing the back of a couple being him back the memories when they meet. But now their relationship is washed away by the rain, so let the love blow away by the wind. Hope you will like the song. I have also linked the original Japanese version for comparison.
