1st Apr 2015 (懷著笑意的決定 – Pace Wu)

The song for today is “懷著笑意的決定” by Pace Wu. This song is the Cantonese version of “閃著淚光的決定” which I talked about previously. This is the version that I grew up with. The direct English translation of the title is “Make decision while smiling”.

The lyrics of the song are similar to it Mandarin counterpart in the sense that they both describe a girl trying to forget about her love story with her boyfriend as they are about to breakup, but this Cantonese version is much more positive. The protagonist said, it is not allow to show any sign of sadness, then get jealous over him. Couldn’t love him, but still love beauty. Wishes that he is in deep love. Not allow to remember the time when she couldn’t sleep, then she would be able to travel anywhere. Remember where she watches movie at the age of three, but not allow herself to remember about him. Closing her eyes and make a decision with a smile on her face. This good bye procedure will shock everyone. It made a lot of noise, and she picked up her senses again. Through her old love into the freezer to freeze up. Suddenly wanted to go backpacking, learned the butterfly swimming style. Need to fly where to show off the elegant style. Asked him how to recognised her, even when tears are happy. Each tears will be used to turn into snow. Hope you will like the song.

1st Mar 2013 (閃著淚光慢慢的決定 – Sugar Club/閃著淚光的決定 – Pace Wu/Tomorrow – Okamoto Mayo (岡本真夜))

The song that I chose for today is “閃著淚光慢慢的決定” by Sugar Club (糖兄妹). This song is a slow tempo version of Pace Wu (吳佩慈) “閃著淚光的決定”. It is quite clearly stated in the title that it is the slow tempo version as it got “慢慢” in the title compare to the original, and these words mean slowly. Personally I like Sugar Club version better as they seems to better present the feeling of the song. Note that “閃著淚光決定” is the Chinese cover version of a Japanese song “Tomorrow” by Okamoto Mayo (岡本真夜). The direct English translation of “閃著淚光慢慢的決定” is “Slowly make a decision when crying”.

The lyrics of the song are about letting go our love one. The protagonist asked whether we understand the feeling of empty heart. She said that it had been long she felt like a falling leaf (I guess that’s mean the feeling of dead, as falling leafs are dead leaf). Her ex-boyfriend said something tender to her, which she well know that it is a lie, but somehow she felt that she had calm down and felt more comfortable. She once promised that she will be with him always and together every day. She thought that she will give him more freedom and it will broaden their love. But now it seems that no one care nor seems to be able to see her cry with a fake smile. So she decided to turn away from him, taking big steps to move away from him. She said she will not turn back and forever forget about him. She don’t let herself to cry, and she hate that she got the courage to fall in love but don’t have the courage to turn away. She can’t seem to forget her first love. She wishes her tears could wash away her memory of this relationship. I have linked all three versions below, hope you will like them all.
