22nd Nov 2015 (Katrina – Eason Chan/David Tao)

The song for today is “Katrina” by Eason. This song is the Cantonese cover version of David Tao’s “Katrina”. Note that David was the one who wrote the melody. The two songs only share the same melody, they got different arrangement and different lyrics. David Tao version is an English song.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Katrina, if you want to cry, I can let you my solder. How can I not worry about you? Tomorrow I will come back to wait for you. Katrina, tomorrow he will discover you. If the angel is so beautiful, keep waiting, it’s ok, it’s ok. The cruel one way love is not paten by you. I am here to look after you. If you felt sad, how could that compare to me. The one that I love is my best friend. Really love you. And I need to relay on you falling in love with him to get close to you, so sad. Katrina, if out life is only 70 years long, we soon reaches half of it, but still no timeframe for love. When will you give up? Still wishes that he will fall in love with you? Who will never give up like this? But there is one person, accompanying you, just like you. The cruel one way love is not paten by you. I am here to look after you. If you felt sad, how could that compare to me. The one that I love is my best friend. Really love you. I love myself, but I still couldn’t afford to love. So I should be the most modest. But I still dream that I can protect you for life, so sad. The cruel one way love is not paten by you. I will understand this later than you. If you felt sad, how could that compare to me. I love myself, but I still couldn’t afford to love. Painful, but not beautiful. But I still dream that I can protect you for life, so sad. Katrina”. As usual, I have linked to the original David’s version. Hope you will enjoy the songs.

13th Apr 2015 (愛很簡單 – David Tao)

Since I talked about David Tao yesterday, I think I should also talk about his other iconic song “愛很簡單” today. This song is even more famous than the one from yesterday. The direct English translation of the title is “Love is simple”. What I like about this song is that it got a rather simple melody and the piano solo at the beginning.

The lyrics of the song are about protagonist realising how simple love could be, and there is no specific reason that you need to fall in love with someone. He said, he forgot how it begin, perhaps he had some feeling for her. Suddenly he found himself deeply in love with her, really simple. Love, it doesn’t matter if the sky get dark. Right or wrong, couldn’t choose. Never regretted that he followed her day and night all because of love. That crazy person is him. “I love you”, couldn’t not love her, baby, say you love me too. “I love you, never wanting to love you baby. Couldn’t be happier, as long as they are together, anything will do. Although the world changes, uses the most truthful heart to simplify love. ove, it doesn’t matter if the sky get dark. Right or wrong, couldn’t choose. Never regretted that he followed her day and night all because of love. That crazy person is him. “I love you”, always here, baby, always loving her. “I love you” (yes I do), never give up the right to love her. If she is lost, oh no, get close to his heart, listen to him saying “love you” (yes I do). “I love you”, oh (yes I do), always here babe, always loving her. “I love you” never give up the right to love her. Hope you will like the song.

12th Apr 2015 (普通朋友 – David Tao/Robynn & Kendy)

The song for today is “普通朋友” by David Tao (陶喆). David is a very famous Taiwanese singer and this song is one of his famous song. The direct English translation of the title is “Average Friend”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist saying that he doesn’t just want to be her average friend. It said, waiting, he is always waiting, to become the person responsible for her feelings. He has no doubt that this is love. He guessed, she wanted to clear this up a long time age. He felt that he is a loser, falling from haven to the lowest of the lowest, very helpless. He is willing to change (what can I do), start from the beginning again (just give me chance). He couldn’t be just a friend, their relationship is already so deep, how could he let go? But she said “I only wanna be your friend”, be a friend. Him in her heart is just a friend, not a lover. He thanks her for being so truthful, but the love that he gave her he wouldn’t take it back. So he wouldn’t just be her friend “I just can’t be your friend”. No, he can’t just be her friend, can’t be an average friend. Hope you will like the song. I have also linked to Robynn & Kandy version of this song, personally I really like their version.
