18th Sep 2015 (雪中情 – Michael Kwan/如果 –施碧梧 & 邰肇玫)

As I have talked about Michael Kwan on my post yesterday, I think I should talk about another of his song in this Friday post as Michael actually plays an important role in Hong Kong music industry. He was very famous back in the 80’s, so he got a lot of classic songs. The one that I wanted to write about today is “雪中情”. This song is a Cantonese cover version of “如果” by 施碧梧 & 邰肇玫. The direct English translation of Michael’s version’s title is “Love in snow”.

The lyrics of the song are about long distance love. The protagonist said: “The relationship with you is like white snow, it will never get dirty. Rumours are like bad dreams, we should be scared about it. When you see snow flake, the snow at my side get even heavier. Lonely long distance love, it needs extra trust to understand the love. Cold plums could withstand the snow; you are better than others. Never trust rumours, as we love each other. When I see snow fall, I will love you even more. When I come back in the future, it will show that my love never changed.” Hope you will like the song, I have also linked to the original version for comparison.

17th Sep 2015 (一點燭光 – Michael Kwan)

The song for today is “一點燭光” by Michael Kwan (關正傑). This song is a true classic, back when I was a kid I often hear this song at fund raising shows. It is also a song that comes to my mind when you talk about Michael Kwan. The direct English translation of the title is “A bit of candle light”.

The lyrics of the song are about sharing and giving to warm others. The protagonist said: “Wish that the candle light could be passed to me, so that it allows me to create light. In the cold, we could travel together. Love and caring are light the sun light. My heart is free, and I am willing to take the burden. If I could be light heat and love, I would be able to guide the light from my heart. In the cold, gazing at the stars and the moon would feel cold. But I want the candle light to shine. Everyone wanted to get better, everyone wanted to move forward. Wish that you can be with me, using the warm in our heart to go against the wind.” Hope you will like the song.

24th Apr 2015 (人在旅途灑淚時 – Michael Kwan (關正傑) and Annabelle Louie (雷安娜))

The song for today is “人在旅途灑淚時” by Michael Kwan (關正傑) and Annabelle Louie (雷安娜). This song is a reader request. Both singers were popular back in the 80’s. This song was one of the theme songs of a very popular TV drama “人在江湖” (“Blowing in the Wind”). The direct English translation of the title is “Cry during the journey”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. AS this song is a duet, I will represent Michael’s line by “M:”, Annabelle’s line by “A:”, when they sing together, “T:”. A: Understand that the road is very dangerous, making you feel uncertain. M: Looking in the distance, slowly, who could make an easy decision? A: The road in front got a slim chance, please think twice. Wonder whether you ever regret. M: Need to fall back, but worry that it is too late, cried during the journey. A: tears already dropped. M: Carrying for others just for you. A: tears are dried up. M: yearn about the past. A: the promise in the heart, is hard to remove. T: Hopping that one day we will meet again. A: Human at this moment, how could we open our mouth? How do we use words to described our love? M: Looking at the sun set, it is bright red, who would have thought that is it the time to cry to say goodbye. A: Wish that one day we will meet again. M: Wish that one day we will meet again. T: Wish that one day we will meet again. Hope you will like the song.
