13th Nov 2013 (忘記他 – Teresa Teng)

The song that I chose for today is “忘記他” by Teresa Teng. Teresa was very famous through the 70’s to early 90’s. She is recognised as one of the most iconic Chinese singer, it was rare back in her time (even now) to get into the Japanese music market and become successful. This song is one of her most popular songs. The direct English translation of the title is “Forget him”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said that forget him is like forgetting everything. It also equals to giving up direction and losing yourself. Forget him is equals to forgetting happiness and locking up your heart with sadness. He was the only one that could get her to like herself. He also let her to use her love to turn normal things beautiful. Forget him, but how, she feels that he is engraved into her bones forever. Hope you will like the song.

The song that I chose for today is “漫步人生路” by Teresa Teng. This is one of Teresa’s iconic songs. The original Japanese version was sung by Nakajima Miyuki (who also wrote the melody) and it was call “ひとり上手”. The direct English translation of the title is “Stroll the road of life”.

The lyrics of the song are about life. It said that when the protagonist is with her love one, she never feels tired and they stroll through every stage of their life. They have reached a climax but at the same time they see another climax that they could reach, so there is always a dream that they try to turn into reality. The road of life could be bumpy, but they are not scared about it. They wish their life could be a mix of happiness and sadness. There is no need to worry about our future, instead we should enjoy what’s surrounding us. No matter it is sad or happy, every day we should found something new in our life. So let the wind blow and give us challenges as these will not stop us from moving forward. Hope you will like the song. I have linked both Theresa’s version and the original Japanese below.
