18th Dec 2016 (藍色街燈 – Leon Lai / Don't say goodbye – Samuel Tai (邰正宵))

The song for today is “藍色街燈” by Leon Lai. This song is the Cantonese version of “Don’t say Goodbye” by Samuel Tai (邰正宵). The direct English transition of the title is “Blue street light”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Who let loneliness and silence flow by. Time gazed at the things that we couldn’t controlled. If we are parted, there would be a lot of complains. If we think back, we would feel that we have been very stupid. The blue street light is slowly disappearing, would it be able to push away our tears? Parted and together again, how many times of this process we have to face until we couldn’t face the things that we lost. The light blue is starting to gathered in the eyes, taking over my eyesight of the night sky. The car is leaving, same as love. The street light is smiling bitterly, trying to cover my broken heart. Together, then parted again, getting used to goodbye. Car is leaving, same as love. Breaking the noise of crying, like how we couldn’t chase love. The blue street light, couldn’t shine on the pain. Wandering in the wind, singing this song repeatedly. Blue street light, the road is becoming lonely. In the future, when you are sad, would you think of me?” Hope you will like the song. As usual, you can find the original version down the bottom as well.

11th Dec 2016 (大城小事 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “大城小事” by Leon Lai. This song share the same melody as Miriam Yeung’s “小城大事”. The lyrics of the two song corresponds to each other. In the linked video, Leon explained why there are two versions. Apparently, Miriam’s manager heard the song (back then it was just a movie music) and wanted it to be turned into a song for Miriam. The movie was Leon’s investment, and they gave the manager a favour as they are good friends. So, Miriam’s song, as predicted by her manager, become a big hit. Anyway, back to Leon’s version of the song. The direct English translation of the title is “Big city, little event”.

The lyrics of the song basically talks of the same story as Miriam’s song but from the man’s perspective. Many parts of the lyrics are the same. He said: “Couldn’t remember why we began, or even why I have said the three word “I love you”. Perhaps because I got amnesia, so I couldn’t remember what I did. I don’t want to wait until my amnesia got worse, I wish that I could remember the lucky feeling that I had when I was kissed by you. Don’t worry about the past, as good bye was so close. A life without memories; forgot the lover from the past. Then fate had me to fallen in love with another person. A man without memories, wish that you will not pity him, and never ask of the past. Kisses, and give it all out. This kisses goodbye is like water that we throughout (this is a Chinese saying, water that got throughout could no longer return back to the bucket. It is used to describe something that could never return to its original state). Perhaps the next time we meet is when we are in haven. Turning back again, will be sadder. If we were never a good match, why my eyes felt like as if tears are dropping out. Felt like that a feeling stopped forever, perhaps you or me had done too many wrong in our past life. If we could start again, I will knee down at the church and say I do. The figures at entertainment clubs, still busy. You are counting the life of the sweet words. The man made stupid satellite couldn’t detect that we meet again but could no longer recognised each other.  Kisses, and give it all out. This kisses goodbye is like water that we throughout. Perhaps the next time we meet is when we are in haven. You come down and I go out, meeting again will make us feel guilty. I still remember that we will meet again in haven. Kisses, and give it all out. We were such a good match in the past. Why my eyes felt like tears are dripping. Every year I will remember to cry again on this day.” Hope you will like the song.

18th Jul 2016 (如果可以再見你 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “如果可以再見你” by Leon Lai. This is a reader request. Typical to older Leon’s popular song, this song was also a song used for Hutchison TV ad. The company and Leon had a very long working relationship, though in recent years, ads like these don’t seems to happen anymore. These ads are typically very high budget, so when they were out, you would see them everywhere. They occasionally play the full length on TV (something like a few minutes) and they typically have a story. They would also have full page ads on newspaper. For the ad of this song, there is a punchline and it was “Just to say hi”. To date, many people still remember the punch line. The direct English translation of the title is “If I can see you again”.

Like many of the other telecom ads songs, the lyrics of this song are about connecting people. The protagonist said: “Wish that you deep and shallow eye emotions to flow through the high and low temperature, then it would understand saying goodbye is like searching the footprint in a deep sea. Facing a corner of an iceberg, seeing clearly the person who is with me. Then I realised the ending is breathtaking. On the way, the ground is not solid hard, never have been this difficult. Then I realised I have been to the coldest dawn. If I turn my head around and couldn’t see you, even if I have strength to walk away from the unfamiliar road, no need to be shaken. Worry about the bad weather, worry that my tears will drop again, but I will never to smile for you. If I turn my head around and couldn’t see you, I only need to see that I once hold your hand on this road. This is my biggest reward and my last reason. It is enough for me to walk out from the deep valley and to be in love with the starry sky again. Forget about the cloud on the sky. Forgot about the light that was turned on when I got home. Then I understand that good bye could turn the white flower dark. Following every minute and second, it awoken the morning. Then I realised the sound of you kisses me good bye. Never was so attracted, the feeling of good bye. I still believe that I have got better fulfilment. If I turn my head around and couldn’t see you, even if I have strength to walk away from the unfamiliar road, no need to be shaken. Worry about the bad weather, worry that my tears will drop again, but I will never to smile for you. If I turn my head around and couldn’t see you, I only need to see that I once hold your hand on this road. This is my biggest reward and my last reason. It is enough for me to walk out from the deep valley and to be in love with the starry sky again.” Hope you will like the song.

29th Apr 2016 (月亮下求你一吻 – Leon Lai (new version)/(old version))

The song for today is “月亮下求你一吻” by Leon Lai. This is the theme song for Leon’s latest concert which is currently on show. His concert was almost cancelled yesterday due to some of the facility didn’t meet some safety requirement, but lucky he managed to saved it. This song that he used as promotion of his concert is actually quite special. This song was released in 1995, but to be honest, I have never heard of it before. This concert theme song is a remix version, it felt quite modern, yet there is still the 90’s Hong Kong pop feel in it. The direct English translation of the title is “Beg for your kiss under the moon”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Like time is traveling backward, is it approaching? So distanced, is it that distance voice that have been calling? In the timeless dream, I travelled long distance, why it felt like that I have travelled into a maze? Couldn’t see clearly whether the you in front of me is actually that attractive. Hugging me, filled my empty, broken heart. Like a thousand years of love is all about to happened this moment, but you are still very quiet like you are anxious. It is like the love in my whole life is all happening now. In a romantic night, I am waiting for your fiery kiss. In your eyes, I can see loneliness, full of hot tears wishing to be loved. Let me be trapped. It felt as if I am searching for you everyday, never felt that you are unfamiliar. This fiery feeling, not sure whether there is a reason for it. I am drunk, don’t ask who touches the heart. Let just forget the normal rules.” Hope you will like the song. I have also linked to the old version for comparison.

27th Jan 2016 (情深說話未曾講 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “情深說話未曾講” by Leon Lai. The direct English translation of the title is “Still haven’t said the deepest words”. This song was one of the many songs that Leon sung for mobile carrier ads. All those ads were very popular back then, and they are considered as a classic as well, as many people still remembered them.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Still at a distance, chasing my dreams. Keep thinking of you, feels so long. In the past I never thought that feels are from both of us. If you lighten me up, I would also need to know how to release. In the past we walked the same path together, but I didn’t treasure it. Tonight I walked by myself, and I regret that I wasted the time we were together. Where are you this moment? I got words that I haven’t said. How to be connected, I wanted to be at your side again. If there is no reply from my love, then this world would have nothing to do with me. But it is you who continue to tell me to be strong, like sunlight. Love is brighter than a sunny day. We can create unlimited future. Be together all along. Willing to search for another wider place for us to travel together. Moving forward alone, warm is a crazy dream. Come and go each day, but it is like there is a wall in between. Then I think back, and I slowly got happier. If only you would understand, then my thought has found its direction.” Hope you will like the song.

28th Sep 2015 (但願不只是朋友 – Leon Lai/雪の降る人 – 円広志)

The song for today is “但願不只是朋友” by Leon Lai. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “Wish that we are not just friends”. This is the Cantonese cover version of the Japanese song” 雪の降る人” by円広志.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist wanting to be more than just friend with this girl, but he is not sure whether she feels the same. He said: “From the time we meet, I wish that we are not just friends. Loving you without other noticing it, it is hard to described and accept. Now we meet again, and the night star shine on us. Made me surprised, as it is an unexpected meetup. Ooh, wish that we could be together forever (No more no more lonely nights), ooh, but do you know? Lalalalala, could we take another step? Holding your hands and drink the love wine. Lalalalala, could we take another step? Wish that the long night could make you stay. If I gaze at you, it is all because love are leaking from my heart. Wish that I could tell you that I love you, but how to start? Now we are face to face, through the long night, you would understand the feeling through my eyes. But do you know this burning story in my heart? Lalalalala, could we take another step? Will your eyes give us an excuse? Lover or friends, all depends on this step. Wish that the long night could make you stay.” Hope you will like the song. As usual, I have linked to the original Japanese version for comparison.

9th Apr 2015 (夢中相擁 – Leon Lai/Please – Kudo Shizuka (工藤靜香))

The song for today is “夢中相擁” by Leon Lai. This song was the Cantonese cover version of the Japanese song “Please” by Kudo Shizuka (工藤靜香). The direct English translation of the title is “Hugging in dream”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said, it is like a dream, like fresh flower and wine are filled in his heart. It was all about her, wishing that she knows who would stand up for her. His thought seems to be over reacting and his love is like the strong wind in winter. Wishing that he could hug her in the dream. Wiping the coldness in her heart. In the romantic songs, would he be able to hug with her? Dancing around, like the rainbow that floats in the dream. Slowly transferring his love to communicate with her. Don’t wait, as romance would disappear like wind. The heart is trapped in the reality. He prays that she could teach him how to relax. This moment, fall in love with him, accompanying her to fly in freedom. Do Ya Do Ya Do Do Ya, following her dreams to fly. Traveling in his dream. I have also linked to the original Japanese version, but the quality is quite low as I couldn’t find a better version. Anyway, hope you will like the song.

27th Mar 2015 (聽身體唱歌 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “聽身體唱歌” by Leon Lai. I used to like this song a lot and loop it over and over again as it is very energetic. The direct English translation of the title is “Listen to the body sing”. From memory this was a song used in an ad, so it was once a song that you could hear everywhere.

The lyrics of the song are about moving, getting your body to move. It said, lipstick, couldn’t kiss with you day and night. Van Gogh, lonely so he wishes to be with the stars forever. Love song, at the end you got to use your emotion. Unless, you takes any love words to be the easiest things to trick people. Come and follow your dream; it is hard to get us sit down quietly. Come and follow your dream, who believe that there is an invitation to loneliness. How to choose, and we got drag into the deep lake in our mind, let’s sing together at the full moon. I wanted to listen to my body sing, talk me into it from my head to my toe. Use your voice to brush me, then I wouldn’t be able to dodge. I wanted to listen to my breath sing, to calm me down from my head to toe. A ear without cover, I have heard everything. Hope you will enjoy the song.

6th Feb 2015 (火舞艷陽 – Leon Lai & 花火の夜 – Noriyuki Makihara (槇原敬之))

The song for today is “火舞艷陽” by Leon Lai. This song is old, it was from 1994. On the internet, people said that this song is the Chinese cover version of Noriyuki Makihara (槇原敬之) “花火の夜”, but I found the two songs are quite different, so I don’t think it is the cover version. Anyway, title of Leon’s song translated to “Dancing fire bright sun”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “I need your love, in the middle of neon light and dance shadow. I need your kiss, in the direction of bright red. Your heat can warn up the world, say goodbye to cold. Your heart is like dancing fire and bright sun. I was lost, but after falling in love with you, I felt like I fallen into a love net. The imagination of the love story, becoming bigger in my heart, the dream of forever having you. Blurrily staring your eyes, your fiery eye is dripping love. The sense that is full of attractiveness, is like a dream, let me fly. Burning fire, it felt like that my dream is burning up tonight, it even burn my heart. Who is the person that making me lost my thought, slowly sweating; it is your eyesight. I need your love, escaping from the coldness of the snow. I need your kiss, reigniting the direction in my heart. Together with you we both go toward the warm wave of fire, dreaming in the sky.” I have also linked to “花火の夜” for you to see whether you think Leon’s “火舞艷陽” is a cover version or not. Enjoy.

21st Nov 2014 (傳情達意 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “傳情達意” by Leon Lai. This song was from the 90’s, back then a lot of songs were used for ads. While Leon’s mobile provider ads were very popular, this song was for apartments. The direct English translation of the title is “Expressing the feeling of love”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that he is willing to prepare the dream for his love. He is willing to use his life to fulfil every of her curiosity. He wished that he had prepared what she wished for, and he will project the roses in his eyes to give it to her. Will she give him her heart? It would be great if she hand him her youth as well. If she trusts him, she will get much more in return. His pulse is expressing his love, so passionate and truthful. He wishes that it would motivate her when they touched each other. A dustless angel like her, would she willing to let him give her heart a new cloth. Night, luck is waiting; waiting for her to arrive and accept the story. If she enters his heart, then it would be the best topic for him and it will create the richest love. Hope you will enjoy the song.

6th Nov 2014 (沒名字的歌, 無名字的你 – Leon Lai)

The song for today is “沒名字的歌, 無名字的你” by Leon Lai. This is a song from 1995. I recently heard it on radio when they count down a list from 1995. It makes me realised that 1995 was really a time when there was a change in era for Hong Kong music (so I guess I will be talking more song from that list in the following days). The translated title of the song is “The song without title, the you without name”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that no matter how lonely he felt, he is able to take more loneliness. Even if his tears can’t stop flowing, he will not stop, as he needs to keep going. Even when he lost his love, the dream will keep going. When you can’t search for fate, then he will use songs to fill in the spot. But sadly, he felt that he doesn’t have the strength, so he keeps looking back. No matter how busy he is, he still remembers that he can’t let her down. All he wanted is that, no matter where she is, she will still be able to hear him and will not forget about their love. Love is a song without a title, and it is there for her, the one without name. Even if it supposed to be forgotten, he will forget to forget. If one day she remembered she once had this tender love, he will use every word in the song to kiss her. Love is a song without a title, and it is there for her, the one without name. Even if it supposed to be forgotten, he will forget to forget. If one day she remembered she once had this tender love, it might felt that it is just a legend and it completely disappeared, but it will try to touch you without your notice. Who is the one calling you behinds the lyrics? He still hopes that every words in the song could hug her. Hope you will enjoy the song.
