The
song for today is “臨行” by Aaron Kwok. This is a reader
request. This song is the Cantonese cover version of a Japanese song “今を抱きしめて”
by NOA. The direct English translation of the title is “About to walk”.
The
lyrics of the song are about the protagonist broke up with his girlfriend,
although he doesn’t want to her to leave, but he know he have to go no matter
how much he loves her. It said, before he goes, he really doesn’t want to see
her leave, still doesn’t want to let her hand go, please forgive that he step
back this moment. Before he leave, he doesn’t want to say too much, before he
leave, he just wanted to sing a song, to remember the time that they spent together.
How to tell her when he is happy, how to say thanks to her, the journey to
search for dream at the end just become a story. The unforgettable support, the
hard to forget sentence, this is the only time that it could make him cry. His
lonely journey continues. When he is lonely he thinks of her. When he is lonely
he think of this night, accompanying her, talk about their thought. No matter
how much he doesn’t want to, he still got to leave, still got to let go. Just
pretend that the time that they spent together is forever. I have also linked
to the Japanese original, hope you will like the song.
