8th Oct 2016 (不同班同學 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “不同班同學” by Hins Cheung. This is one of Hins latest song. It is the kind of songs that catches my ears. The direct English transition of the title is “The classmate that was in a different class”.

The lyrics of the song are about the differences in kids’ situations and behaviour in the different time. It said: “The him in the 70’s, hard to calm down, will give up half way? Spent all the time, how to love someone for life, learned it? Played enough? How to leave elegantly? Can you learn how to view the decadent of the earth in a humour way? Have you thought of letting go? Returned all the extra in life and walk the path in a relief way? The him in the 90’s, wishes to have many relationships, learned to not care too much. On the long flat road, learned to play, also have the strength to form a family. Also learned to have a bit of taste? If next year, I bump into the him in the 10’s, would he have the quality to get others to admire and scare of him? It is the future, so nothing is fixed, still depends on his moves. The him in the 10’s, the adult world is too hard to carry? Too many computer games, how could you play without completing your work? In the process of expressing your love, if you can kiss, with the innocent looks, you can conquer all adults? Don’t say that he is only a few years old, as he has learned long ago; just need to shows his cuteness and people will let him go. The him at a different age, everyone got so much homework, still couldn’t graduate? On the long flat road, learned to play, also have the strength to form a family. Is this the theme of this half of the life? If next year, I bump into the 30’s him, would he have the quality to get others to admire and scare of him? It is the future, so nothing is fixed, still depends on his moves. Happiness can be learned? At the end learned that it need to be study heard? But it still must be learned, right? Even all the way until we die, we got to learn it. Many homework, the him at a difference age, everyone got a lot of homework, so no one can take leave? On the long flat road, learned to play, also have the strength to form a family. Even if copying is allowed, you will still get tired. If next year, I bump into the 30’s him, would he have the quality to get others to admire and scare of him? It is the future, so nothing is fixed. And classmate, you, 6 years old or five thousand years old, all depends on how you roll.” Hope you will like the song.

6th Sep 2016 (羅賓 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “羅賓” by Hins. This is Hins’ latest song. The direct English translation of the title is “Robin”

The lyrics of the song are about friendship. It is about how that there is always a friend that be with us all the time like a sidekick, assisting us and fighting with us. The protagonist said: “How many novels or movies, cartoon or comic, exaggerated Batman to be so great. I don’t know why to be surprise. Even at the most interesting section, shouldn’t we pay attention to the sidekick behind the warrior? The bullets just fly passes, must feel a bit scare. Blocking the knife with bare hand, how? You told me to go, I instantly go. After work, please be grateful. When I climb the tower bare handed, please drag me up. “Still alright?”, say it. How many love in this world will never bargain. Being the best friend of Batman, must have a heart that is not scare of dying. What I have done for you, is like rejecting a long life. Whether you want to save the universe or sit at the roof to gaze at the moon, I will always be there, being a sidekick. Hard to distinguish left and right, I only get your back. Still waiting for you, when you lift your head I will follow you. Whether penguin controlling the weather or the joker is attacking the world. I will be accompanying you to face each and every one of them. I wanted every news to cover me, don’t leave me out. Best friend, or love, I am happy to embarrassed myself, accept everything. Perhaps my role determined my fate. You told me to block (I push), I block (I push). Even if I got hit by a bullet, I will still keep it up. To lift up a protagonist, you need a group of sidekick. Oscar will give me “Best backdrop”. Not worthy to have your surname, so I will follow you, and still be happy. Being Batman best friend, must always be in danger. Willing to treat you well is rejecting a long life. I wanted every news to cover me, don’t leave me out. Best friend, or love, I am happy to embarrassed myself. Not lover, but we will travel together. Boy or girl and Old or youth, there is an excuse. Better than being a master, all this is just an excuse to make me feel better. After crying, the service will remain the same. Being able to be with you to the end, who would worry to be a sidekick and lose all the freedom. The whole world will admire this sidekick. Even through this act, I can only get the lease amount of shoot. Best friend, not fallen in love yet. Willing to embarrass myself, truthful to you as usual.” Hope you will like the song.

24th Aug 2016 (騷靈情歌 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “騷靈情歌”by Hins Cheung. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “Soul love song”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: “Love is like Blues meet rhythm. So spontaneous, like on a small street in New York, there are overseas speakers and beautiful graffiti. My skin colour turned dark because of you. Use the black voice to make me think of you, like the dark poem that are usually very detailed. Changed into my black suit and lifted you up would be the most beautiful thing, this will make the witnessing god surprise. I love you truthfully, so I use my soul to touch you. Touched your heart with the musical instruments. I focused on you, and use my soul to breath. Feel so soul, so I use my limitless love to kiss you. Love is like Blues meet rhythm. From then on, they formed a pair. When they are emotionally touched, they know how to move. When I am really into it, I discovered some flower. My effort, because of you, become more memorable. Use the black light to shine on me and you. Use the black light to not distinguish the sky and land. Changed into my black suit and lifted you up would be the most beautiful thing, this will make the witnessing god surprise. Yeah. I love you truthfully, so I use my soul to touch you. Touched you to a point that music plays everywhere. I focused on you, and use my soul to breath. Feel so soul, so I use my limitless love to kiss you. For you the stage lifted. For you the piano started to play. Use the soul music to call for your love.” Hope you will like the song.

18th May 2015 (感情用事 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “感情用事” by Hins Cheung. Despite this song is rather old, I only heard it a couple of days ago, but I already fallen in love with it. The English translation of the title is “Emotionally driven”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said, the world is full of argument, and it got so many weird things. Fallen in love with you, there is no need to know who will win. Every day I face failure, asking myself the purpose of life. Giving everything so that we can share for the rest of our lives. A girl that travel around, I don’t want to know. I will only focus on you. A simple ring, but it is full of meaning. I am used to communicating to you without voice. In the busy city, the scenery changes rapidly. Very easy to be separated. At the end of this crude world, I will act out this touching story for you. I spent this life only for love. I am poor but warm, it could still make me happy. How will luck be tomorrow, we can still understand each other. The blossom flower will be our witness. The current situation is more touching, and I will backpack to a very distance place. Having a simple dinner with you, there is no need for a dinner table. There were too many races in our childhood, sometime we will face problems. With your love, everything will be resolved. I don’t care about wealth, as it is a heavy burden; hugging you will make me feel warm. Couldn’t escape to space, then I will just stay in this cave, digging the dreams for you. Too many danger in the busy city, but no matter how noisy it gets, I will face you with calm, let me just trust love. When the historical sites disappeared quietly, the hard to keep stars only got the promise from love. No matter how the luck is for tomorrow, we could still feel each other. Facing arguments or when riot break out, only love could keep its promise. Forget about that historical sites are disappearing, the memories that it left behind will always assured by you. No matter how many bad things happened tomorrow, I am still grateful that we once experienced these. Rumours predicted that there would be a disease, dying next to you I will still happy. Hope you will enjoy the song.

11th May 2015 (我和秋天有個約會 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “我和秋天有個約會” by Hins Cheung. I am hooked on Hins’ songs lately, so you probably noticed that I have posted a number of his songs on this blog lately. This song is the theme song of a stage drama, the direct English translation of the title is “Me and autumn got a date”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Come to me, be in my dreams. I think of you in the past years. Hard to leave the happy moment behind. The acts of the tears, I got insomnia because of you. Hold hands, and watch the far sky together. Be close to me to let the night wind approach our face. The red leaves are all over the ground, happily spinning; just like love, which could change instantly, and I got anger because of it, but you still said that our heart will never change. The autumn is full of love, the love make it warm. We looked at each other and our love tangle together, who would have thought that human could be like a lonely swallow. Returning to this autumn, people are too busy to meet again. Couldn’t complete this promise. Emptily looking at the mountain of red maple tree, and still complained. Come to me, be in my dreams. Who you avoid me even in dreams. Hard to find, found emptiness. Need to go longer in the journey, like water that dripped away. No more exciting poem, listening to rain while letting pain accumulate. Every night I pray through this song, until the star broke. Human in the song, wishing that there are dreams both family could borrow. An autumn full of love, and we both have feeling toward each other. Love and hate; unfinished fate, still sadly beautiful just like old days. Returning to this autumn, retained in the memories of the song. This date, which that it could be fulfilled, spring to autumn, unlimited dreaming and still drunk.” Hope you will like the song.

6th May 2015 (春秋 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “春秋” by Hins Cheung. This was a song released in 2010. The direct English translation of the title is “Sprint Autumn”. Note that “春秋” is also the name of a history book that describe the time”春秋”, during which there were many war in China.

The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of the protagonist after he got drunk and accidentally told the girl (who was his friend) that he loves her but got rejected. He said: “who was the one that drunk all the wine that night? So that I talked a lot. Then you shake my hand and rejected me, so touching that it was like our friendship got deeper. I didn’t have the right to stop seeing you because you are so nice. You still uses those sweet words that touches me. No one should have been angry. Got this result, could I blame God for not giving me a fake happiness? I haven’t been sad over you so I don’t deserved to feel bad. We didn’t travelled anywhere to continue the story. Our hairs haven’t turn white and so I caught the cold is only because of my stupidity. Should have been happy like an angel. Do I still have the luck to pretend to be the weak one to pretend that I am so depress? Do I have the reason to become a monk, and gain the acceptant of others? So depress that I felt shameful, so hurt that I couldn’t have any new ideas. That tears, lack great wishes. If love can be called as a great thing, then no matter how hard it is I will still be happy. If I made you to discover that I lived for you to a point that I became a failure, I will be annoyed and I am so mean. I haven’t been sad over you so I don’t deserved to feel bad. We didn’t travelled anywhere to continue the story. Our hairs haven’t turn white and so I caught the cold is only because of my stupidity. Should have been happy like an angel. Do I still have the luck to pretend to be the weak one to pretend that I am so depress? Do I have the reason to become a monk, and gain the acceptant of others? So depress that I felt shameful, so hurt that I couldn’t have any new ideas. That tears, lack great wishes. Far too meaningless, if this is call pain, then perhaps it is too easy. You didn’t changed my life, so how could I dare to let this become a problem for myself. You didn’t hurt me nor hated me, so my love history is not important. 春秋 (referring to the book) only record the important things, if my love is meaningless, then this tears is pointless. I don’t have the luck to exaggerate my selfishness to pretend to be hopeless. More importantly, it is wrong to create hatred on the day when you found your true love. I can still feel the pain, but o leave behind a splinter, we at least need to meet ten thousands more times.” Hope you will like the song.

26th Apr 2015 (相對論 – Hins Cheung/Hins Cheung and George Lam)

The song for today is “相對論” by Hins Cheng. As the melody was written by George Lam, there is a version that features George Lam (which I will also link to). The direct English translation of the title is “Relativity”.

The lyrics of the song are the protagonist understanding of love. It said, The mortal world is large, and it is nice to walk together, who wouldn’t wish for that. But that night, when she left, he felt that he is like a butterfly looking at Zhuang Zhou, existence and reality are two different things. (Zhuang Zhou is an ancient Chinese philosopher. A better known philosophy by Zhuang Zhou was “莊周夢蝶” (Zhuang Zhou dream butterfly), in which he had a dream, in the dream he turned into butterfly. After he woke up, he realised that he is still himself, a human. So he said how could be distinguish between reality and dream, if dream is real enough, no one could identify it as a dream.) He will keep roving. Before he was a teenager that chase after his dream, but that is just the back of loneliness. Previously he keep moving forward, then comes a period that he fall a lot. Previously he care the things right in front of him, and he never really care about the things that he left behind. But now he understand that things got a few faces, and it shows differences when it changes. Love is a limitless bubble, so just let it cover you. But it melts into your life and repeat every day. Keep living in a life that you look forward to everything, and relatively you feel happier. This moment he felt the inner peace and comfort, but he cried, cried, cried. He still wishes for a lot of things, but not getting them doesn’t need a reason. Someone once warmed his heart, but he have to bear with it now when it got cold. Floating on the road and they meet again, perhaps fate tight them together, who would have thought about this feeling after goodbye, it is too old to even become friend on internet. Previously, he looks for forever, and saw present. Never asked butterfly and Zhuang Zhou, but asked whether there is more time that he could steal. Existence and reality, if they are different, then he could only keep searching. Hope you will like the song.

15th Nov 2014 (隱形人 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “隱形人” by Hins Cheung. The direct English translation of the title is “Invisible man”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he once heard that he needed to only mind his own business in love, but he just couldn’t control himself. He deliberately get closer to her, like as if he was attracted by her. He felt like that as if he is on drugs, he couldn’t stop himself, and it even took his soul. Even when he avoided the very wrong kiss, sad ending will still occure. No matter how close they are, they will still breakup. Yesterday she was still tender, but today she lost everything. It felt like that she hate the way he is not letting go. Even he knows that he had lost, but he still keep trying without feeling embarrassed. Today he had been turned invisible, he should have gone. He shouldn’t have hope for better and should just accept it. He couldn’t accept this ending, as the ending is hopeless. Even if he decided to keep loving, the story will not have a ending. He can’t avoid that he will be kicked away. He couldn’t understand why she resist getting closer after the ending. It is like as if he is full of dust, he can only shake in hopeless. Perhaps they had loved each other, once was excited and he had even been her lover. He isn’t as attractive as the other guy, but this is just too cruel. HE knows that he couldn’t challenge the other guy. The invisible man finally accepted. Yesterday she suddenly became so tender, and it destroyed everything that he got. At the end someone will always left. She knows that he couldn’t challenge the other guy so she forced him to accept it. Today he had been turned invisible, he should have gone. He shouldn’t have hope for better and should just accept it. He couldn’t accept this ending, as the ending is hopeless. Even if he decided to keep loving, the story will not have a ending. He can’t avoid that he will be kicked away. Hope you will enjoy the song.

5th Nov 2014 (青春常駐 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “青春常駐” by Hins Cheung. This is a song from Hins newest album. The direct English translation of the title is “Always stay young”.

The lyrics of the song are about growing up. The protagonist asked whether Doraemon (a famous Japanese cartoon character) could never age and accompanying him to growth. Could Seiya (another famous Japanese animation character) never age and accompanying him to crusade. Kinds, even if they know the truth, they would think so perfectly to try to go against the norms. Idols will never fallen, and parents will be forever fine. It would be best if everything that he cares would never age. Why during our journey, during our games, we suddenly aged? When we finally decided and when the time finally comes, you are already long gone. He wishes that the people he knows would live long, his ex-girlfriends could live long, hope that they don’t casually age. But this baddy called ‘time’ doesn’t allow it, not even for a bit. Could Fong Fong not aged and keep being sexy? Could Ka Ka not aged, and create another high point in her career? Life, all of a sudden we are at where we are now, so he could only relay on her to remind him that he hasn’t got old yet. Those times were so great, why couldn’t he go through it again? Those who already got white hair, is like they are silently complaining. Why during our journey, during our games, we suddenly aged? When we finally decided and when the time finally comes, you are already long gone. He wishes that the people he knows would live long, his ex-girlfriends could live long, hope that they don’t casually age. But this baddy called ‘time’ is so cruel, not allowing us to leave a bit slower. Hope you will like the song.

26th Oct 2014 (他的故事 – Hins Cheung)

The song for today is “他的故事” by Hins Cheung. This is one of the songs that I really like from Hins. The direct English translation of the title is “His story”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist listening to an old man talking about his love story. It said, the old man got tired, but he still wanted to try one more time. He had tried, it felt like that even God thinks that it is ok. Perhaps he could rely on fate, but fate is unpredictable. He is confirmed that he will like this girl for the rest of his life. Everyone is saying how stupid this story is. But things are so far away, how could you tell. The end of love is still love, because he could believe. He rather believe, just like how sometime that gut feeling is the most accurate. Loving in the future is call true love, this is a wordless letter from the future. In the silence, in his dreams, it is like someone telling him not to rush. He looked at a mirror, and wonder why he looks crazy. Once he cooled down, even he thinks that it is stupid. Fate could create, to find a way to make a good start. So he still protecting this good girl. No one care about this type of story, but the poor man is still happy and hasn’t stop. Why there are rain after rain, but he can still forgive? Sunny or rainly, no matter how long he watches it he still hasn’t lost. Love is love when it doesn’t end, the story is touching because he is generous. Let’s hope that the girl would understand his love. Listening to his story and wanting to know the ending, his experience reminded the protagonist that his will is the most beautiful fireworks. At the end of love is still love, as he could believe. He rather believe, because without fear, then there wouldn’t be stupidity. Loving in the future is call true love, this is a sweet letter from the future. In the silence, in his dreams, there is no need to open it, all he need is to believe. Hope you will like the song.

9th Sep 2014 (餘震 – Hins Cheung)

The song that I chose for today is “餘震” by Hins Cheung. This song was popular back when it was released. The direct English translation of the title is “Aftershock”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said “Leaving, is like I have been saved from trash safely. Those that have been abandoned, regardless of what happened, they will just go to that person. I know that loving you again is just like aftershock, it will cause more pain to the heavily wounded heart. Even if I am still hopeful, at the end I will scarify. You kiss is like a tornado, how could I resist. When our body is contacted, it is like I am hit by a tsunami, making me sink. Getting closer and I can’t control myself. Even though I know that it is stupid, but being together for a short time is still fate. Even if the world collapses, aftershock still causes excitement even if it is painful. Thinking about the past, that beautiful scenery when nothing bad had happened. Looking forward, to a time when we don’t hurt each other, but that is impossible. I know that falling in love with you again is like aftershock, it will cause more pain to the heavily wounded heart. Even if I am still hopeful, at the end I will scarify. You kiss is like a tornado, how could I resist. When our body is contacted, it is like I am hit by a tsunami, making me sink. Getting closer and I can’t control myself. Even though I know that it is stupid, but being together for a short time is still fate and I am still willing to get close together. Who would care about the world got so dark at hazy night? Aftershock is in your hand, always trapped.” Hope you will like t he song.

28th July 2014 (笑忘書 – Hins Cheung)

The song that I chose for today is “笑忘書” by Hins Cheung. This song was in Hins’s first album, which came out in 2006. This song was quite popular back then. Faye Wong got a song that share the same name which was also a big hit, but today I will only talk about Hins’s. Note that they are two different songs, they just happened to share the same name. The direct English translation of the title is “Laugh forget book”.

The lyrics of the song are about life, it try to tell us about what happiness is, question why happiness is harder to get as we grow up. It said, we need to carry our burden and then jump down the Grand Canyon. Troubles will catch you with a net, or is that you who can’t let it go. The dream that you had last night, it ended tonight. Going down, rains fall on your head without rainbow, but you are still carrying your memories, like a very heavy rock. Granted the same amount of happiness, and both got sadness. It is hard to keep fairy tale books from getting disappointment. Both experienced ups and downs, and both fallen into the grey net (here grey net means the bad side of things), annoyance, addiction, torments, why bother talk about it. I experienced happiness turned loneliness. I experienced lacking to fulfilling. Games, even if it was joyful but it wouldn’t bring you happiness. As we get old, we even wanted to cry when we are happy. I need to keep living; I need to keep fighting. Keep going, perhaps even god wouldn’t be able to help. The road ahead got left and right, and when facing choices, it is hard to decide. Got the same hope and both got their own problem. Cotton candy had once brought us to the happy haven. Experienced the same fall, but would you learn to let go? Fairy tales, love letters, testament, search for the answer. Once, once, remember the lollipop that you had when you were 3 years old. Hope you will enjoy the song.

Other song that share the same name:
