13th Feb 2016 (我好得閒 – Joey Yung)

The song for today is “我好得閒” by Joey Yung. This is Joey’s latest song. The direct English translation of the title is “I am very free”.

From their promotion material, they said that the idea of this song is that every in the city will always uses busy as an excuse to push away the stuff that they have a low preference. But you will always make time for the one that you love no matter how tight your schedule is. So they said you should respect those who talk to you in their free time, but love those who free their time to talk to you. I like the message behind this song so I thought I will share it here with you today. The lyrics said: “Two o’clock this afternoon I got a meeting. 4 o’clock this afternoon I got an interview. 5 o’clock this afternoon, I go to study for a doctor degree. At late afternoon, I will go study French and Japanese. Being the most hard working fighter. Every second I got some important things. Work every day, would not take a day off. Every night at eight I practice my sword and my writing. Stay till midnight and have a meeting. Rush and rush, no free time. Last month only see my parents for an hour. Every day, 4 job, no free time at all. But you asked me, free? Free? The one that I like finally express his love to me. Shouldn’t answer slowly. If reply too slow, your lover will feel disappointed. Straight away look for a day that I can free out, so that we can have a date. If it got push until next year, the feeling will turn cold. I am free tonight, next night, this night, that night every night I am free. I am free tonight, next night, this night, that night every night I am free. I am free tonight, next night, this night, that night every night I am free. I can always fall in love, and slack off. Love me, love me. Kiss me, kiss me boy. Call me, call me. For you, I can skip any other appointment. The one that I like finally express his love to me. Shouldn’t answer slowly. Stop, stop, stop, your lover will feel disappointed. Straight away look for a day that I can free out, so that we can have a date. Busy, busy, busy, the feeling will turn cold. I am free tonight, next night, this night, that night every night I am free. I am free tonight, next night, this night, that night every night I am free. I am free tonight, next night, this night, that night every night I am free. I wanted to see you, so in this life I am free any night. Why not have eight thousand nights all line up.” Hope you will like the song.

12th Feb 2016 (原來是妳最可愛 – Andy Lau/ほんの短い夏 – 伊勢正三)

The song for today is “原來是妳最可愛” by Andy Lau. This is a reader request. This song is the Cantonese cover version of “ほんの短い夏” by 伊勢正三. The direct English translation of the title is “So you are the cutest”.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist’s feeling toward the girl that he loves. He said: “the sun is still shining during dawn, there is no competition on this long road. Which direction is reality, which is the dream? Up until now, I will no longer be speechless. Say goodbye to the past, keep waiting. Sad, trying to cover up by staying in the crowd. Which day was yesterday, which day is today. Perhaps I will not be passionate again, living normally in the future. Sadness hopped onto the wind to travel across the sea already. Our relationship will not change. The sad pace will be with you, or did I treat you with my true heart? Let me get the one that I truly love, even if she is in the dream. So you, the one that is next to me is the cutest.” I have also linked to the original as usual, hope you will like the songs.

10th Feb 2016 (24 – New Youth Barbarshop (新青年理髮廳))

The song for today is “24” by New Youth Barbarshop (新青年理髮廳). This song is their latest song.

The lyrics of the song are about life. It said: “Have you found the happiness that you want? OR have you already forgotten the feeling of life? Do you still dream when you watch the aircraft take off and land? So how many things haven’t changed? Still fallen in love with the small things? Recorded the warmest moment? Do you still uses your skill to freely used the mall? There are lots of rules in this world. Reasoning and lessons taught you to stay within your ability. But there is no paranoid to tell you to catch on with your passion for life. Every time I opened my photo album, going through each cell, I will always think of the past. I still thought of you, do you? Thought, and thought of the past. Suddenly I am over 24. I still love naïve, still like simplicity, still like to smile. Thought, so many had changed. Suddenly I am over 24. Although I still don’t keep to many of the rules, and I still love freedom. 24, really, I still don’t want to get old yet. Have you grown up to a point that you no longer trust love? Really into it, yet you got hurt. Do you still keep the touching moment from the past? Are there other things that touches you? The things that you said you wanted to protect, do you still got the courage? Still haven’t given up at the end? How many of these you learn to compromise and gave up? Every time I opened the photo album, and go through each cell, I always thought of the past. I still think of you, do you? We appeared because of love. In the past, your parent put your happiness as priority. Growing up is the turning point, realised that promise might not always become true. Then no one will promise you to get happiness. There are some people that spent their whole life just wanted to find this feeling back. Remember all this busyness will only bring happiness to the people around you. Many years later, you will own many things. Wish that you didn’t use your freedom to exchange for the stuff that you own. The truth behind happiness is to meet many of the people that you love. Having a simple life could be your biggest dream. Thought, and thought of the past. Suddenly I am over 24. I still love naïve, still like simplicity, still like to smile. Thought, so many had changed. Suddenly I am over 24. Although I still don’t keep to many of the rules, and I still love freedom. 24, really, I still don’t want to get old yet. 24, really, I still don’t want to get old yet.” Hope you will like the song.

8th Feb 2016 (你最紅 – Twins)

Happy Chinese New Year, which you all will have a joyful new year!!! To match the Chinese New Year theme, I have chosen a Chinese New Year song for today. The song is “你最紅” by Twins. The direct English translation of the title is “You are the reddest”, but in Cantonese, red can also means popular, so the actual meaning is “You are the most popular”.

The lyrics of the song of cause is about Chinese New Year. These type of songs are really dominated by Twins. And let’s be honest, they actually do quite a good job on these, it really got the Chinese New Year feel. It said: “Congrats, you are the one that we care the most. Career and love, you all got a chance. Follow this wave to become the most popular person. The world will rotate with you in the centre. Star in ads, make music album. Have luck, and be lucky. Create the legend of this generation most popular person. When there is an award ceremony, you will always be invited. All good things will surround you. You could be as lucky as you are? Whatever you said will come true, and you are popular regardless of the state of the market. Who could be as proud as you are? In your top state. Whatever you ride, the wind will push. The trend follows you, and everyone cares everything that you do. Look at you, the more popular you are the more beautiful and proud you are. No matter where you go, people will go crazy for you. Congrats, you are the luckiest. Every day you announced that there are good things happening. Every day is like a big celebration, everyone will be passionate, and surround you every second. Shoot fireworks and burn fireworks. Have luck, and be lucky. Create the legend of this generation most popular person. You are there wherever there is celebration. All good things will surround you.” Hope you will like the song.

6th Feb 2016 (至少我們之間還有一首歌 – Yukilovely)

The song for today is “至少我們之間還有一首歌” by Yukilovely. This is a new song. Yukilovely’s song are quite different to your normal Canto pop, it feels very dreamy. The direct English translation of the title is “At least between us there is still a song”.

The lyrics of the song are about the feeling of the protagonist through a relationship. She said: “The day when we chat, it was a sad afternoon. But smile reappeared on my face. I couldn’t explain it, I couldn’t explain it. A cigarette and a wooden guitar; you asked me to sing along with you. You said the me in your eyes is a flower from the early summer. You wouldn’t pick me off. I have forgotten the feeling to be trusted, so could I stay in this scene? Regardless whether this is passionate or coldness, let’s search together. The freedom of losing logic, wasted the road of sweetness. After happiness, there is only sadness. Couldn’t chased after the big wave from before. Regardless whether this is passionate or coldness, but regardless between you and I there is only one song left. One song.” Hope you will like the song.

4th Feb 2016 (舊街角 – Shiga Lin)

The song for today is “舊街角” by Shiga Lin. This is a new song from Shiga. The direct English translation of the title is “Old street corner”.

The lyrics of the song are about the good old days. The protagonist said: “Corner of the street, the little shop. Recorded with the happy photo. Saw, cry and laughter, very shallow. Said good bye for a few years, already recorded a fair bit. Saw, the memories from yesterday is broken. Date under a light rain, you remembered? The words that I said quietly next to your ears. Accompanying me, listen to songs, gaze at the star, somewhere slowly to become busy. Time never try to get anyone to stay, I was so lucky in the past. No matter how tomorrow will change, I will still try to catch it. Remembered that we walked together, matched so well with the old street. Still can review it, as I once imagined we laughed and excited on this street. Papers, one slide, promised that we will see each other again in summer, but time freeze in winter. Left, how far, legs step into this area, and the memories from yesterday appeared. Dig out the tree trunk, will it make your view wider. Rub away the arguing that you had during teenage. So dull, listen to music, gaze at stars, no time to do so tonight. Time never try to get anyone to stay, I was so lucky in the past. No matter how tomorrow will change, I will still try to catch it. Remembered that we walked together, matched so well with the old street. Still can review it, as I once imagined we laughed and excited on this street. Left behind, some warm, keep a bit in the heart, warm and dark.” Hope you will like the song.

2nd Feb 2016 (告別之前 – Jason Chan)

The song for today is “告別之前” by Jason Chan. The direct English translation of the title is “Before goodbye”.

The lyrics of the song describe the feeling of the protagonist before he has to separate with his girlfriend. He said: “Not dare to look at your eyes, so I deliberately drink some wine and joke around to escape my fate. Letting go the promise that we made, makes me feel cold, I don’t know how to react. Couldn’t see you, it will even make my thought stop. I should have said it, but I didn’t want to lie. Rather want me to turn around, leave and never see again to escape being hopeless. Can see clearly that our heart is both painful in silences. Worry that the promise will not turn reality. Not saying love out load, pretending I don’t understand. Tomorrow will drift us apart, knowing that the feeling will fade. Who would understand me? Using goodbye as a way for my escape. Without proof of the truthfulness, who would easily give up love. The minute hand could cut through the soul, until the cliff. I should have said it, but I didn’t want to lie. Rather want me to turn around, leave and never see again to escape being hopeless. The uncomfortable feeling in the heart, who could replace me. Promise become the ending, wanted to love out loud, but how? Tomorrow will drift us apart, knowing that the feeling will fade. If you have thought of me, remember to smile and become my land. Couldn’t see the future, say it out when crying. Memories become pain, it is not love. Tomorrow we will be apart, knowing that we will be apart. The sun rise will shift the rain away, I promise I will find you there. Time will tell, years and month will say it out for me. The damage that time gave me, let take it as love.” Hope you will like the song.
