1st Jun 2016 (雙面人 – Ekin Cheng)

The song for today is “雙面人” by Ekin Cheng. This was a theme song of a TV drama. It is one of my favourite TV drama theme song. I quite like the drama. It was about a guy who have an accident and have an amnesia. Slowly overtime time he discovered the truth of the accident. The direct English translation of the title is “Two face” (The TV drama’s English title is “Face to face”.)

The lyrics of the song are about a person that can’t tell whether the things that he sees are true or his imagination. He said: “Emotions and facial expression couldn’t synchronise, jumping between movies, the me in the movies feel confuse. Is it the excitement from the outside or the mystery from the inside of the mask? Covering the wound can be thought of as a kind of beauty. Without memories, it is hard to tell whether there is an identity in my palm. Which one is my heart, is a complex question. It is like a dream, lack the realises. Wish that someday I can face my true heart. Time flies and I could act the way that I wished. Start from the beginning again to extend my life. Then I will learn to not change this face. Smile on the outside and sadness in the inside, I listen to my own breath. Listen all the way until I aged. Is it the excitement from the outside or the mystery from the inside of the mask? Covering the wound can be thought of as a kind of beauty. Without memories, it is hard to tell whether there is an identity in my palm. Which one is my heart, is a complex question. It is like a dream, lack the realises. Wish that someday I can face my true heart. Time flies and I could act the way that I wished. Start from the beginning again to extend my life. Then I will learn to not change this face.” Hope you will like this song.

28th May 2016 (女神 – Joyce Cheng)

The song for today is “女神” by Joyce Cheng. This is Joyce’s latest song and it is also a very popular song. The direct English translation of the title is “Goddess”.

The lyrics of the song are about self-esteem, and how not to diminish your value by the comment of others. She said: “Gazing, gazing up, who is as elegant as you, walking up to the stage. The judge panel, are full of bad mood. Gaze, welcome to gaze. The sceptre is already glowing in your hand. Why need him to admire your goods? The standard judgement of beauty is clashing with you. Saying that you haven’t pass the standard of common eyes. You are naturally shining, didn’t lie. Why need the general public to forgive and lowering your self-esteem? Don’t lower your head, as the aureole will fall down. You are a goddess, don’t need to decolour yourself for the general public. No need to compromise, as prestige will be broken. You are a goddess, don’t let the cheap makeup bring down your value. You are free, facing the big ocean. This beauty contest is a very small stage and you are full of love. The frog at the bottom of the well (this is a Chinese idiom, used to refer to people who only know so little yet think that they know it all. Just like a frog at the bottom of the well, all it sees is the tiny patch of sky and it thinks that’s the whole world), treat it like a weird disease. There will also be people that walk by, give you a strange look. The most painful is the one that main to be accompanying you, if he can’t change, then stop going out with him. Before you lowered yourself, wishing to find your true love. At the end, you don’t care anymore, decided to leave the rest behind. Don’t lower your head, as the aureole will fall down. You are a goddess, don’t let go of the sharp knife in your hand. Don’t make a full of yourself, as the tenderness will arrive at the end. You are a goddess, elegantly wipe out the lament. Don’t lower yourself to a stage that you need to exile to the sea of love. He is only a small stage, you deserve to have big love. Gazing, gazing up, who is as elegant as you and me, walking up to the stage. The judge panel he is in a bad mood. Gaze, welcome to gaze. If you got tired, let say it with me, even if human look down at me, I still look great.” Hope you will like the song.

27th May 2016 (昨遲人 – Andy Hui)

The song for today is “昨遲人” by Andy Hui. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “Yesterday late person”.

The lyrics of the song are about love, it talks about how the protagonist feels that because he reacted to things slowly, he missed out on many love relationships that could have a good ending. He said: “I was late to listen to your whispering about that you were lost, your dreams and future, so silly. I was late for half a second to date you for dinner and take a walk along the beach to leave behind a pair of foot prints just like dancing. This believer of love, once again lost the carrying of the love god. Once again be left behind half way. I was late to hand over the umbellar. It is still raining softly, but you have already fleet with someone else, at the end all is a waste of effort. I was late to love you, to clear your quarries. I was late to hold your hands, otherwise we would have been aging together. This love journey, I wanted it but never got it. So bad, could someone fill in for me to make this up to you? I felt that I we were almost there yesterday, but I was late and there is no road to move forward now, giving you the chance to hug with someone else. I only know how to calm down or tell myself it is not the right time yet. The sky hasn’t brightened yet, but I already spent all my energy on you. Talk with me, hug with me, why there is a fortress in the sky? Looked at but could never touch. Cover by the blanket, like I can finally rest in peace, smiling to fall into your arms. Kissed your red lips a bit late, and your eyes are now also red, heart feel heavy. I was late to treasure you and late to dream with you. So until yesterday when we broke up, I only know to see you walk away. Today I am by myself, once again lost the carrying of the love god. Today her, in the past you, why so cruel. Why in the past I didn’t say out what I wanted to say to you. Why I left these words to him? Closely listened to him saying this a hundred times, but it has vilify, and heart had burned off. I felt that I we were almost there yesterday, but I was late and there is no road to move forward now, giving you the chance to hug with someone else. I only know how to calm down or tell myself it is not the right time yet. In the past or today, all felt very cruel. Talk with me, hug with me, why there is a fortress in the sky? Looked at but could never touch. Cover by the blanket, like I can finally rest in peace, smiling to fall into your arms. I will wish you to be happy, so please happily fall into their arms.” Hope you will like the song.

25th May 2016 (Miss Fiona – Fiona Sit)

The song for today is “Miss Fiona” by Fiona Sit. This is Fiona latest song. This song is very different to what Fiona used to sing. While I can’t say I like this style of her, but it is defiantly refreshing, and the song is rather fun and very catchy.

I think the lyrics of the song are about being herself. She said: “Oh oh Please call me Fiona
Oh oh oh, put your touch on me. Put your kiss on me. They call me FiFi…Buy clothes myself, matching them will be more beautiful. I wanted to relax, to relax, very difficult. Band down to kiss you, you don’t need to call me Madonna. Reply to my letter, can call me Fiona. When I was young, I already know that being a girl is very hard. As I aged, I know how to become attractive. Walking alone. I will not change my name. If you don’t know me, bash you. Dadadadadadada. Who always reminded me? Who always gazed at me? I’m gonna take it, I’ll take it, I’m gonna take it. If crazy people laughed at me, if trendy people talked of me. I’m gonna like it, I’ll like It, I’m gonna like it. Like someone else, all so average, everything is so average, there would be a million of them. And me? I am like this, always like this, only one of me. Oh bali bali boom Nanananana oh. Oh bali bali boom Nanananana oh. Oh everybody boom Nananananana oh. Oh bali bali boom Nananananana oh. Mr. Right, Mr. Wrong, who should I pick to have fun? Play this, play that, knock knock, you re more fun. Who kept their long hair? Oh chop chop. Who listened? (What are you saying?) Fxxx off the reason ,check out my riddim. Who’s always attempted to catch my attention, who’s always look down at me? I’m gonna take it, I’ll take it, I’m gonna take it. I once stupidly cried, walked every stories. I’m gonna like it, I’ll like it, I’m gonna like it. Like someone else, all so average, everything is so average, there would be a million of them. And me? I am like this, always like this, only one of me. Oh bali bali boom Nanananana oh. Oh bali bali boom Nanananana oh. Oh everybody boom Nananananana oh. Oh bali bali boom Nananananana oh. Say you’ll love me now. Heaven’s all that I’ve got. You need nothing better. I’m the reason why they call me Fiiiiiiiiona. Dare you to hold me. Fiiiiiiiiona, she drives you crazy.” Hope you will like this song.

22nd May 2016 (一千零一次人生 – Mag Lam)

The song for today is “一千零一次人生” by Mag Lam. This is a reader request. The direct English transition of the title is “One thousand and one life”.

The lyrics of the song are about life. It said: “Ten years after ten years, the diary still looks the same. Dreams or not, so numb that I have to pretend to be strong. Tried so hard to chase, used everything to chase, at the end I caught up to the sunset. Among the sheep, I am used to following the trend, willing to become another sheep. Again and again meeting each other, faces become very abstract. Too many farewell parties, no time to cry. Those that I wanted to meet, haven’t seen or seen again, I couldn’t recall. Called the wrong name, which photos did we took together? A thousand introverted one-way love, a thousand times broken friendship. A thousand time that I haven’t noticed about our fate, a thousand time that old photos become rubbish paper. Another thousand albums that haven’t been opened, a thousand set of fashion clothing that become old. A thousand tomorrow arrived, minutes and seconds. Those that regret, the wrongs, the little things all piled up together and become history at this moment. Are there anything that I would care before I die? Tough match after another tough match, blindly chasing for the power. Excited or not, so passionate to a point where my heart feels cold. Count the most important, the most important become so heavy that it lost it weight. Every night in bed, did I have the strength to think? A thousand time I wasted the vegetable soup, a thousand time I yell at my mum. A thousand time I thanks without heart, a thousand time I said I have no time, can’t help it. A thousand time more messages that never replied, a thousand time that I replied too late. A thousand tomorrow arrived, minutes and seconds. Those that regret, the wrongs, the little things all piled up together and become history at this moment. Is there anything that I would care before I die? Will it start again at the end? If I have to worry, I should only worry that tomorrow my passion will become the past. A thousand pair of tired black eyes, a thousand time of trave that I haven’t been to. A thousand time of interference that I haven’t tried, a thousand time of sickness that can’t be healed. Another thousand times more and it will become a full life. A thousand time turning back and it became naïve and childish. A thousand times of regrets that I haven’t pay attention to. Left out half an empty square. In the second half of the diary, there must be something that I dreamed of that I can wrote with my one hand and become history. At least after I awoke, the sun rises and there are next time. Woo, ha, yeah, I care.” Hope you will like the song.

20th May 2016 (好心好報 – Alex Fong and Stephy Tang)

The song for today is “好心好報” by Alex Fong and Stephy Tang. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “Please breakup”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. As this is a duet, I will represent Alex’s line by “A:”, Stephy’s line by “S:” and when they sing together “T:”. “A: Worked so hard for you, but couldn’t gain any point. You decided to be with him from now on. He doesn’t know how to take care of you, so I am willing to fill in. S: I decided to love him, so wish me happy. You understand me the most, so you know that I will stay behind even it is painful. I am not scare of getting hurt, I am willing to wait for him. A: Still looking at you. S: Will he be touch? Or had he ran off already? A: Seeing you walking on the edge of the cliff, but he just left you there only looking after himself. S: I am used to loving him, so no matter what you do, I am still myself at the cliff, there is no way back. A: Treating you well, no one care about me treating people well, no one appreciate me, all because you are used to his style. Never loved me, I can see that clearly. No need to have your love, I can be just on the side, all wishes to be for your good. S: He, is always worse than you, but I still love him. Looked down to listen to his lies again. Just wishes that he says he loves me, but why I still haven’t got it. Perhaps this second is not the right second yet. A: Perhaps it is sins, let me listen to your pain. You said it is painful is better than breaking up. S: I said so many actresses had gone through the pain. A: The situation got worse. S: Perhaps he could achieve it, perhaps he will achieve it. A: You believe that someday he will be able to do it, able to do it all. T: I am like you, don’t know how to talk you out of it, would rather sacrificed than to take a step back. A: Treating you well, no one care about me treating people well, no one appreciate me, all because you are used to his style. Never loved me, I can see that clearly. No need to have your love, I can be just on the side, all wishes to be for your good. S: He, is always worse than you, but I still love him. Looked down to listen to his lies again. I know that you love me but I pretend that I don’t. Being a nice person, forgive me that I couldn’t be one. A: You treated me like a best friend, I know. But I treated you as the rest of my life. S: Both of us couldn’t control ourselves. T: No matter how good we are, what we are waiting for will never arrive. A: How to achieve this, no one will treasure me. So I got to do things his ways. Never kissed, I remembered. No need to get it, just need to be on the side, wishing that it is best for you. S: Good, I always know that you are good. Why he is not good enough? But when he come back, I will hug with him again. A: not good enough, I am not good enough. T: Still believe that my good wills will bring me good ending. So perhaps I will find out someday.” Hope you will like the song.

18th May 2016 (日有所思 – Candy Lo)

The song for today is “日有所思” by Candy Lo. The title of the song is part of a Chinese phase: “日有所思夜有所夢”, which mean if you think of something deeply during the day, you will dream of it at night. The title of the song is the first part of the phase, so it means “Thinking deeply during the day”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “The man sitting on the plane, he said don’t go. The man discovered that I got a boarding pass, but he could tear it apart. Feels like he is more frighten than me. The man is sitting on the plane, repeatedly saying don’t go. He discovered that I have an I.D. card, stepped on it but couldn’t break it. And the luggage in front he couldn’t kick it away. Then, then, then I am still not tired. So great, after all this who do I still remember? I can still go to Swaziland. So good, who am I holding onto so tightly? I can still be so humorous. So good, my cold sweet was left behind in the sofa. I thought I was running so fast that I have fallen into the sea without noticing it. The man is sitting in the living room, he is holding onto his lover. The man is worry that I shoot at him with a gun, to a point that he is heavily wounded but can’t die. He still show a bit on sadness on his face as he worry that I will give it all I have. Who is talking, who is talking, who is talking, who is afraid of who. So great, after all this who do I still remember? I can still go to Swaziland. So good, who am I holding onto so tightly? I can still be so humorous. So good, my cold sweet was left behind in the sofa. I thought that I was sad and still crying. No trace, no memory, who is sleeping. No reasoning, who is breaking the law? Use English, explain, explain, explain that I am never afraid of who. So great, after all this who do I still remember? I can still go to Swaziland. So good, who am I holding onto so tightly? I can still be so humorous. So good, my cold sweet was left behind in the sofa. I thought that I was so thirsty, I start drinking boiling water from the bath tub”. Hope you will like the song.
