7th Nov 2015 (打開信箱 – Leslie Cheung/Nainen sä oot – Markku Aro)

The song for today is “打開信箱” by Leslie Cheung. The direct English translation of the title is “Opening letter box”. This song is the Cantonese cover version of “Nainen sä oot” by Markku Aro.

The lyrics of the song describe the feeling of the protagonist who is waiting for a letter from someone that he loves. He said: “Knocking on the letter box is like a lonely hand. Oh, are you inside? Who will understand this pain, who will understand today’s sadness. Card, electricity bill, and other selling booklet, sadly your letter is not in there. Who will believe that the feeling from the past will remain the same. Opening the letterbox, but inside is just full of confusion. Opening the letterbox, the sad, waiting eyesight. Today my heart, there is only wishing in sadness, because you no longer say more than half a sentence for me. Hi, how are you, are the sceneries overseas great? Now, I feel that I am annoying. But no matter how you make me heartbroken again, I still wish that we could be together again. Opening the letterbox, but inside is just full of confusion. Opening the letterbox, the sad, waiting eyesight. Today my heart, there is only wishing in sadness, because your true heart had already turn fake. Opening letter box.” Hope you will like the song. As usual, I have linked to the original song for comparison.

6th Nov 2015 (藍天 – Dayo Wong (黃子華))

The song for today is “藍天” by Dayo Wong (黃子華). This is a reader request. This song was the theme song for the TVB drama “男親女愛”, which is now considered as a classic sitcom. The direct English translation of the title is “Blue sky”.

The lyrics of the song are about life and love. The protagonist said: “The blue sky high above is hang my dreams. Deep sea, diving in to the deepest to be different. On the way, happiness and freedom accompanying me. My dream come true all because you let to try. Kind words are the best weather. Spring wind turn into fog to wet our heart. Kind altitude is the hidden fire, like a sun shining me. Passionate, wishing to find the meaning, life goes by fast. Following your will to go everywhere, starry sky or rural land are both fine.”

藍天 – Dayo Wong (黃子華)

4th Nov 2015 (我始終是我 – Roman Tam)

The song for today is “我始終是我” by Roman Tam. The English translation of the title is “I am always myself”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist talking about his feeling to a girl that he once loved. He said: “All things are now in the past. The beauty in the dream is long gone. Although I don’t want to forget, but I also don’t want to bring it up. Past have long become the past, it never left behind a trace. Waiting is just always so clam. Thinking about the past, I didn’t just forget about you. Hold my breath and remembered that memories. You didn’t want to face me, blaming me through your eyes. You said your heart is dead long ago, like the quite autumn. I am always myself, even though it was me who first avoid the eye sight. I am always myself, even though it was me who suddenly departed. Every words is useless, the reason is not because of you, it is just that I know myself better.” Hope you will like the song.

2nd Nov 2015 (自首 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “自首” by Janice Vidal. This song was from last year. The direct English translation of the title is “Surrender”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “You, are too frighten, not willing to use your courage to cut it off. I admit that I am also weak, don’t even have the strength to smile. Taking this result all thanks to you. Sweetness become bad and destroyed my expectation. Too much distance, I no longer has the confident to hold onto you. How to talk you into surrendering ? No matter what you said, you still need to talk about breakup. Speak your thought, don’t say no. It is pointless to say it when I say it out loud. If sweetness is the murderer, I perhaps may need to take back on the good that I did to you. I have hurt enough, and it cannot repair. So I will let you go without questions. I, loved you more. If you talk about pain, there is only me. Stop smiling to pretend to care about me. Use time to forgive, regardless whether you actually treasured me. Still thanks you to ignore me. Too tired, too boring, you probably just talked about feeling. How to talk you into surrendering ? No matter what you said, you still need to talk about breakup. Speak your thought, don’t say no. It is pointless to say it when I say it out loud. If sweetness is the murderer, I perhaps may need to take back on the good that I did to you. I have hurt enough, no regret, let you go. Leaving, what else could I resist. I will feel painful if I don’t cry. Feels like blackmailed, trapping me. Perhaps you got more excited, knowing that I am stupid. Begging you to please surrender. If you feel unhappy, you can right away say breakup. Speak your thought, don’t say no. Really, just don’t want to say breakup before you do. If sweetness is the murderer, it could easily take my whole life. I have hurt enough, and it cannot repair. So I will let you go without questions. Still wanted to be saved.” Hope you will like the song.

31st Oct 2015 (矛盾一生 – JW (王灝兒))

The song for today is “矛盾一生” by JW (王灝兒). This is JW’s newest song, she recently switched to a different company, so hopefully she will be more active in the future. The direct English translation of the title is “Contradicting life”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “Got a minute of happiness, then afterward not happy. No matter what, still unhappy, who is responsible? Dragging on, and at the end still promise. Never see the future, got lock in by love. Contradicting all because deep in love, you know? Who would wish to be hugged this moment, then soon argued. You will fire some fireworks for me, but resulted in a scar. Bitter experience, future, forget it. Back to the happiness at the beginning, still remember? Still couldn’t decide to form a family. When you still haven’t change, so let me change. This decision is scary. Sadly the words like breakup when you said it our will always leave a scar that couldn’t remove. Couldn’t work out whether it is me who got tired or that you are not good enough. Make the right decision, and stop holding up. Tears with sadness is like rain, don’t be soften. The sky will pity me? It will forced me to be nuttiness, understand?” Hope you will like the song.

30th Oct 2015 (無痛分手 – Candy Lo)

The song for today is “無痛分手” by Candy Lo. The direct English translation of the title is “Painless breakup”.

The lyrics of the song are about the an relationship about to end. The protagonist said: “Dating separating, no longer argue. Becoming silence, spending half of the time just face to face. Time tell we once were happy, but now we no longer care. Finally we got to believe that it was all just a dream. Fate ends, so it is time to leave. We once touched our heart, hold hands, but sadly we both like new things. Let go, so soon I will be free. Wanted to leave, please leave. Just wave your hand when you go. If you no longer love, then don’t worry about breaking up. No more love, no longer emotionally related. Only feel lonely. This is how it is when there is no ending. Time tells, all the old relationship is burned up, so from today onward, we no longer connected. Finally got to believe, we couldn’t escape the bad feeling. When fate ends, we no longer see each other.” Hope you will like the song.

28th Oct 2015 (煙霧濔漫 – Gigi Leung)

The song for today is “煙霧濔漫” by Gigi Leung. This song was recorded in one of my favourite Gigi’s album “花火”, which is full of good songs. The direct English translation of the title is “Smoggy”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist felt that it is hard to read the face of the person that she is interested in. She said: “Suspected that you know since the beginning, but why you never speak of it. Like a street light that never give direction. Like fingers that connected for a second but escaped right after. It is hard to proof, and there is no intention to explained. But through our breath, I can confirm. From our eye sight, we developed love, in our words there are no memories of it. Lifting my head up the moon should be in the sky but it was smoggy. Sometime stormy, sometime clear, and slowly it slowed down. Through the light rain, allowed my eyes to investigate your face. Then you smile and the temperature between the eyebrows gets warmer. Smoggy through the road, sometime exciting, sometime annoying, there is no stop for looking forward. If at the end we lose each other, then we should use these moments, like firefly, wanted to give you my life in a night. Why we have to age? Why I want the fabric of that dress. Accompanying this massy dance step, I could never hug seriously. I suspected that you know since the beginning, but why you never speak of it. Just let the eye sight to hug the eye sight.” Hope you will like the song.
