24th Feb 2017 (等你回來 – Jacky Cheung)

Hello reader, sorry for not posting anything for the last 3 weeks, I have finally returned :D I have finally moved to Hong Kong. It took me a while to pack, moved and settled down. Work in Hong Kong are surely much more demanding, I often go home after 6:30pm, but the beauty is that even when I go home so late, many shops were still opened so I could still shop around. I am still very busy, so probably wouldn’t be able to write post as frequently as before, but I will try to write a post when I got some free time.

Enough, let’s get into the song. To fit my return theme lol I have chosen “等你回來” by Jacky Cheng. The direct English translation of the title is “Waiting for you to come back”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. It said: “Helpless is the endless wait; helpless is when we are in love yet we have to be apart. Even when the road is far, I am waiting for you to return in my heart. Looking forward is like gazing at the sea. So leaving made us realised the patience of love. So leaving doesn’t bring any sadness. Maybe I am not used to all the trouble, but I know there are fate in life. With you I understand that love will never change. With you, we will search for the courage of being alone. With you we will share the pain of separation. The world within our heart is a place that is full of love. Looking forward to be closely together again in the future. So leaving make us have more love in our heart. So after goodbye make us realised how colourful love is. Wish that we could always be in love, with true heart we could find our future. With you I understand that love will never change. With you, we will search for the courage of being alone. With you we will share the pain of separation. The world within our heart is a place that is full of love. Looking forward to be closely together again in the future. Looking forward to be closely together again in the future.” Hope you will like the song.

14th Nov 2016 (這麼近(那麼遠) – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “這麼近(那麼遠)” by Jacky Cheung. This is a reader request. This is a very beautiful song, one that I used to listen a lot. The direct English translation of the title is “So close (yet so far)”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist feeling that him and his partner is physically so close together but their heart is so far away. He said: “Day by day, day and night, we face to face, together and sleep together. Bit by bit, slowly and slowly, I realised that even we face each other, but we got nothing to say. Quietly gazing at that familiar back side, when you band your body, I realised that you are so distanced from me. Like at the edge of the world, couldn’t even walk an inch closer. I, managed to keep you on my side, but our hearts are so distanced. Perhaps there is one day, you standing right in front of me, but I couldn’t realise who face it is. I, managed to keep you on my side, but our hearts are so distanced. I wanted to extend my arms to drag it closer, but I couldn’t reach that side. Just a little bit more, but this little bit, is so far away. Can touch, but couldn’t understand. So close, yet so far, still. Living together, but without sound; me and you, have changed, already speechless. Quietly gazing at that familiar back side, what you are thinking is so distance from me. Like at the edge of the world, couldn’t even walk an inch closer.” The lyrics of this song is so simple, yet so strong and paint a very good picture. Hope you will enjoy listening to this song.

12th Dec 2015 (愛和承諾 - Jacky Cheung and Pricsilla Chan)

The song for today is "愛和承諾" by Jacky Cheung and Priscilla Chan. I chose this song for today because it is one of my best friend's wedding. I didn't go to his weding celebration as it is overseas and so to celebrate his wedding, I chose this song to dedicate to him and wish him all the best for stepping into a new stage of life. (As a side story, another of my best friends also told me that he will be getting married at the end of January. Making me feel so old and stuck in life without moving forward. But I am very greatful that both of them managed to find their true love and move to the next stage of life). Back to the song, the direct english translation of the title is "Love and promises".

The lyrics of the song are about love. I will represent Jacky's line by "J", Priscilla's line by "P" and together by "T". P: Love and promises are like ring and flower. You used your life to protect it, waiting for the happy ending. J: Couldn't let love be quite, searching only in memories. P: When you felt that time fly past J: You turn around and look at he again. P: Your heart J: Eyes full of love P: Always touching my heart J: Hug me once again. You are the one chose to continue my life. Is the T: thing that I treasure the most. Love is a promise that last for life. Even in the past we own each other so much, but in our heart there is a fire that will not vanished. Still tangled together, burning. Waiting for what? Looking forward for what? Chasing together for what? sharing what? What we should give up, what to do, so that we can own happiness?" Hope you will like the song.

26th Nov 2015 (等你等到我心痛 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “等你等到我心痛” by Jacky Cheung. This is an iconic song. The direct English translation of the title is “Waiting for you until I am heartbroken”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist wanting to wait for the girl that he loves. He said: “At a beautiful night, I am waiting for you until I am heart broken. Why not seeing your old partner, asking why I am so lonely. It was my wrong sentence that hurt you so deeply, I am sorry. Wish that tonight you will think of the past and let me occupied your heart. Let me keep waiting, wait until my heart is drunk. Tonight the stars will be drunk with me, like as if they pity me. Again waiting for you in the rain, my heart is already broken. The rain in my eyes starting to disappeared, and I disappeared in the wind. Wait for you, wait for you, I will wait for you my whole life. I really really don’t want to give up. Rally wish that everything from the past could happen again. Think of you give me pain, wait for you until my heart broken. The heartless north wind blew me away. The lonely me is feeling a bit cold. In this cold night, I waited for you until I am heart broken. Still haven’t see my old lover, a pile of sadness and loneliness. It was my wrong sentence that hurt you so deeply, I am sorry. Wish that tonight you will think of the past and let me occupied your heart.” Hope you will like the song.

12th Oct 2015 (留住這時光 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “留住這時光” by Jacky Cheung. This song was from 1993, it was written for Hong Kong Tourism Board (back then it was known as “Hong Kong Tourist Association”) for promoting Hong Kong. The direct English translation of the title is “Holding onto this moment”.

The lyrics of the song are trying to say that Hong Kong is a unique place. It said: “Quite, like wind had passed by. Gazing at you could warm me up. If it said that the scenery is touching and strongly attracted. All because of you, you know? You will give me drams. Romantic memories will be bought up again. Who else would be like me, accompanying you to travel the city regardless it was day or night. Let every bit of light shine on your face, making your smile brighter than the blossomed flowers. Everyone will be interested; at this moment we gaze at each other, it will make me forget where I am today. Feels happy, all because you are with me. Making me think of you and this place. Using your sincerity to brighten up the heart, keeping me here and not wanted to move elsewhere. Let every bit of light shine on your face, making your smile brighter than the blossomed flowers. Using your sincerity to brighten up the heart, keeping me here and not wanted to move elsewhere. Keeping me here and not wanted to move elsewhere.” Hope you will like the song.

25th Sep 2015 (情書 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “情書” by Jacky Cheung. This song has been popping up in my head many times today, so I think I should talk about it here. The direct English translation of the title is “Love letter”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist talking about the love life of the person that he loves. He said: “You got skinner and sadder, it give me pain. Sometime love is more cruel than time. It turn people blind, make people worked so hard, forget that love requite both people to put in effort. You are drunk and so weak that you couldn’t hold your tears. I understand that hopeless is colder than winter. You hate yourself as a person that scares of being alone. But sadly you had fallen in love with a free and selfish person. You bought along the only love letter that he wrote, trying to proof that you didn’t make a mistake at the beginning. He once escaped from being lazy and pain for you. He had also hugged you in hope to save the relationship. Sadly, love is not just a few tears and a few love letters. Words like this are a bit cruel. The people that waiting for others, wishing to love others, are always happened to be the person that not being loved. Sadly love is not about holding up tears and keeping love letters. Cleaning the wound is as painful as the pain from a coma. Closing your eyes and holding onto the mistake. When true love comes, how would you keep it.” Hope you will like the song.

14th Aug 2015 (真心的朋友 – Jacky Cheung)

Finally got time to do my first post fir this week :D I meet with one of my best friend today who when back to his home country around 1.5 years ago. Meeting with him again after so long reminded me so much about the happy moment that we had, and the time he supported me when I was half broken from my PhD degree. I am very grateful and happy to see him doing so well in his work and with his life. Very glad to see him again. Because of this, I chose the song “真心的朋友” by Jacky Cheung. The direct English translation of the title is “True friend”.

The lyrics of the song are about good friend. The protagonist said: “Night are approaching, heart is as grey as the sky. So tired that I couldn’t bear with sadness. How to solve the rumours between you and me. Old friend is very valuable, it is sad to lose one. Time will wash away misunderstanding. But rumours are hard to tell whether they are true or fake. From the time that are slowly fading away, I have learned how to move forward and back. Who is out true friend, you and I will understand. Carry each other during the hard time, calm each other down when we cry. If it is true, you will never feel tired. No one will shield up in the heart if it is real. I am willing to open my heart, to truly connected.” Hope you will like the song.

29th May 2015 (輕撫妳的臉 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “輕撫妳的臉” by Jacky Cheung. This song is a reader request. It is a Jacky’s classic. The direct English translation of the title is “Softly touching your face”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “A hand is softly touching your face. The light touch is as soft as cotton. The naïve eyes are closed while waiting, as if you were drunk, waiting for me to tell you the love words. Do you know that I have made up lies in my heart? I don’t know how to say it as it is so hard to say. Light my cigarette and said that my heart is as massy as the smoke. Forget it forget it, I will just hide in the smoke and pretend that I couldn’t see it. That dim candle light, felt like cold arrow. My rapid breathing sound is slowly changing. This moment, my heart is a mass. I couldn’t not explain that this love has already changed. That day in my heart, I said that I will love you forever. That moment, it was truth, so it shouldn’t be seen as a lie. Your truth scarified really warmed my heart, but sadly, the me today had changed already. A hand is softly touching your face. The light touch is as soft as cotton. The naïve eyes are trying to hold up tears. The broken memories, is now shoot with arrows. A hand is softly touching your face.” Hope you will like the song.

5th May 2015 (想哭 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “想哭” by Jacky Cheung. I heard this song randomly today and I really like it, so I think I would share it here on my blog. The song was released in 1998. The direct English translation of the title is “Want to cry”.

The lyrics of the song are about the relationship between the protagonist and his girlfriend. He said, his heart is blue, as everything is marked onto his heart. It gathered the memories from the past, and they developed roots. That eye sight, so real, seeking others at night, how could he escape. From her heart, a bit of tears, a few kisses. The feeling that we once had had sunk, but so real. While the night is still blue, no need to turn on the light. Then discovered the old dusts, the weather from the past, all are so close. But he wanted to cry, why she is always smiling. Just like an old photograph, couldn’t change. Even when I wanted to cry, it is hard to avoid the smile from the past. The nights are all used up and the days are all dried up; no matter how small it was, it still touches him. But he want to cry, ah. Even when he wanted to cry, trying to avoid her smile from the past. The nights are all used up and the days are all dried up. No matter it was high or low, deep or shallow, her smile still come up in his mind. Hope you will like the song.
