2nd Oct 2015 (沙 – Denis Ho)

The song for today is “沙” by Denise Ho. This is one of my favourite song, but it never become a big hit. The direct English translation of the title is “Sand”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist who usually got ignored, but now wanting to catch the attention of the person that she likes. She said: “I was here since a long time ago, but I was too small so no one noticed. But him and him and her, all got better packaging, and got more exaggerated movement. But I also got eyes and ears, could you see? I feel pain if I got step on as well, you know? Usually I keep quiet and don’t say much. I am not good at expressing myself, but I still wished to be cared. Knowing that my tears aren’t bright, but I still want it to shine. If I am a diamond, would you care about me? Even if my price is only as tiny as sand, I still wishes you to notice? Still wanted to be the sand that got blew up by the wind in the desert, so that I could become the sand in your eyes. Even if I speak until my voice break, I still could get you to pity me? Even if it is fate that you ignore me like that, I still wish you to stay. Let you shoes listen to me, ok? Ok? Ok? I said I cried last night, you laughed and treated me as if I was joking. No matter how big I am, if I got problem, it is still not small. Allow me, and treat it like it bothering you, but I just want a pair of ears to share my loneliness. Unless I am not important and not deserved to have this right. Even if my price is only as tiny as sand, I still wishes you to notice? Still wanted to be the sand that got blew up by the wind in the desert, so that I could become the sand in your eyes. Even if I speak until my voice break, I still could get you to pity me? You got other things on earth that worth more, so treating me nicely is not great for you? There aren’t needs that you haven’t mentioned? You don’t needed to be loved? You got someone that you can talk to? Need someone to accompany you? Even if my price is only as tiny as sand, I still wishes you to notice? Still wanted to be the sand that got blew up by the wind in the desert, so that I could become the sand in your eyes. Even if I speak until my voice break, I still could get you to pity me? You said that I never reach high land, so I never fallen. So I exaggerated the small pain to large pain? Even if it is fake or exaggerated, I wish you could still ask the sand from time to time whether she is having a good day.” Hope you will like the song.

30th Sep 2015 (傾斜 – Sandy Lam)

The song for today is “傾斜” by Sandy Lam. This song was quite popular back when it was released. The direct English translation of the tittle is “Tilted”.

The lyrics of the song are very abstract. The protagonist said: “Wind, it is running to a direction with me, like it made up its mind that it wanted to travel through the city. Wind, followed me to drink all the wind in the world, and sing with me time after time. Paris is so attractive, the smell of champagne floated to all direction. The east and west Berline are both very touching. Why am I still thinking of the time when I was with you. Tilted rain, the tilted you and the craziness, kissing me on an angle. Tilted mirror, the tilted coat that was hang upside-down is peaking at me on an angle. Legs must turn a few more times, so that it would stop trying to find you. Heart, how many more night it need to go through to learn to let you go. There are millions of European on the street, they are chating like they don’t know it is getting late. In the night street, hansom boy are so passionate, but I am still wishing that I could be with you one more night. Tilted rain, the tilted you and the craziness, kissing me on an angle. Tilted mirror, the tilted coat that was hang upside-down is peaking at me on an angle. Tilted rain, the tilted you and the craziness, kissing me on an angle. Tilted mirror, the tilted coat that was hang upside-down is peaking at me on an angle.” 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.

26th Sep 2015 (我沒有傷心 – Jinny Ng)

The song for today is “我沒有傷心” by Jinny Ng. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “I am not hurt”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist saying that she broke up with her boyfriend, while her friends thinks that she is deeply hurt, she said that she is not hurt at all. She said: “Everyone is trying to comfort me, worry that I couldn’t take it. Got dumped by my love one, but the good thing is that my good friends are all staying with me. Don’t worry friends, who would have thought that I can’t be pushed down. Good weather is still in my heart, there is no rain to force me to lift my eyebrow. Like half cup of water, half full or half empty. There are some thought that you can control. When you have thought it through, then you wouldn’t drill in and can avoid being crazy. I am not hurt and I am not unhappy, love is not something that worth you to put in all your effort. Only weakling needed to be pity. If I still hold my last breath, then I can reborn. I am not angry, and I resist to be scarified. Falling over on the love road, so exaggerated that it becomes a defect. It is hard to bare really. Lover become someone else, got excited. It is hard to not care at all, but now I am free. In love for too long is hard not to ignore your friend. So now I need to repay friends that I ignored. Even if I am single, there are footstep from others that I can follow. You are never alone even if you got questions. I don’t have a reason to be angry or sad. I will rely on my experience, if you are lost I will give you direction.” Hope you will like the song.

25th Sep 2015 (情書 – Jacky Cheung)

The song for today is “情書” by Jacky Cheung. This song has been popping up in my head many times today, so I think I should talk about it here. The direct English translation of the title is “Love letter”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist talking about the love life of the person that he loves. He said: “You got skinner and sadder, it give me pain. Sometime love is more cruel than time. It turn people blind, make people worked so hard, forget that love requite both people to put in effort. You are drunk and so weak that you couldn’t hold your tears. I understand that hopeless is colder than winter. You hate yourself as a person that scares of being alone. But sadly you had fallen in love with a free and selfish person. You bought along the only love letter that he wrote, trying to proof that you didn’t make a mistake at the beginning. He once escaped from being lazy and pain for you. He had also hugged you in hope to save the relationship. Sadly, love is not just a few tears and a few love letters. Words like this are a bit cruel. The people that waiting for others, wishing to love others, are always happened to be the person that not being loved. Sadly love is not about holding up tears and keeping love letters. Cleaning the wound is as painful as the pain from a coma. Closing your eyes and holding onto the mistake. When true love comes, how would you keep it.” Hope you will like the song.

23rd Sep 2015 (人生馬拉松 – Eason Chan)

The song for today is “人生馬拉松” by Eason Chan. This is the theme song for the twentieth anniversary of “Standard Chartered Hong Kong Marathon”. The direct English translation of the title is “Life marathon”.

The lyrics of the song are about not giving up. The protagonist said: “From half a time to a hundred times, trying day by day. With courage and will, giving up is too easy. Addicted or too naïve, it really doesn’t matter. Wish that at the end I would understand the meaning of training. Every time I wanted to give up, I felt that I heard someone is laughing behind my back.  They laugh that I was only half a second away but I lost at the end. All the energy had used up long ago, but using the will power, I could see the magic. A skinny body, a pair of tired legs. Used up all the strength to chase. A mouth full of water a and some old words, floated into me, calmed me down and helped me to fight my fear. From the high mountain, deep sea, happiness and sadness. The excitement from the journey, can never dodge away from the hurdle. Time and space changes, can only let go and wait. Should or shouldn’t, good or no good, all it matters is that I love it. Perhaps the world had changed, only cared about the ending. Everyone knows how to run and jump, but skipped the hard working part. Someone is competing with someone else, but it is all wrong. Couldn’t accept being ignored, but wish that fate will take care of you. Unlimited number of race, a wave after a wave. Who could avoid, the tiny bit of accident. Time and space changes, can only let go and wait. Should or shouldn’t, good or no good, all it matters is that I love it.” Hope you will enjoy the song.

21st Sep 2015 (尋人 – Bondy Chiu)

The song for today is “尋人” by Bondy Chiu. The direct English translation of the title is “Searching people”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “After saying goodbye to love novel, my heart will not be naïve. Still love that heart pumping feeling, and still attractive. Getting through each day normally, and I got boarded. The feeling when I think of you, it still shocked me. From the other corner of the world, a stranger that rushing through. Still remember the role that we play. Felt like that when the world stop, there are no one else, as if fate will bring us closer together. Who would care for a second, as this will be enough to remember for life. If through every part of the world just to search for my best mate, when I am waiting for you to approach. Millions of people on this world, but we had promised to see each other this life long ago. Perhaps I no longer need to ask again, if I am only to search for that one person, that one kiss. There are millions of possibilities on this world. When the world found me, that person may not be my perfect match. If this second is to fall in love with you, then maybe we don’t quite understand each other. But passes by still attractive.” Hope you will like the song.
