30th Dec 2015 (無人像你 – Charmaine Fong)

The song for today is “無人像你” by Charmaine Fong. This is one of Charmaine’s song from last year. I always like Charmaine’s songs, but for some reason, she had never been promoted properly and as such she is not very famous. The English translation of the title is “No one like you”.

The lyrics of the song are about the relationship between father and daughter. The protagonist said: “No one is like you, bourn to know how to love. When the earth got tired you gave me a hug. Love in a way that I didn’t noticed, and you never care about what others said. His pair of hand, recorded time and love. No one else is like you so generous, in exchange you got white hair and a large eye bag. You burned your youth in exchange for my happiness and brightness. Even single, you still runs around to give me love. No one else love me like you do, loved who I am even when you don’t have a partner. Love can block the wind and the rain, we will face it together. No one else is like you, taught me who I am, never worry about falling down, just follow my dream. Love is so amazing, so please treasure it, right? I had been naïve and wrong, but you still allowed it. No one else love me like you do, loved who I am even when you don’t have a partner. Love can block the wind and the rain, we will face it together. No one else is like you, taught me who I am, never worry about falling down, just follow my dream. Love is so amazing, like a cup of water, gave me what I needed. Perhaps one day, will find the one what spent the life with.” Hope you will like the song.

28th Dec 2015 (你是你本身的傳奇 – Charmaine Fong)

The song for today is “你是你本身的傳奇” by Charmaine Fong. This is Charmaine’s latest song. The direct English translation of the title is “You are your own legend”.

The lyrics of the song are about being yourself. It said: “I wanted to cry too, you know today? How much do you earn? Willing to give up your freedom? Happiness relay on achievements? Working hard just to define your value. Living normally is a joke. Seeing parents healthy body start to turn bad. Working overtime once again, is that a predefined route? Swore to be bright? Wanted to be worry free in the future? Burning your youth, can only be happy, not sad. Allow you to dream? If you believe in your dream, then you can fly. High and low, gain or lose, even though you may not be able to dodge. You are your own legend, with your will, you will achieve something great. If fate don’t fall in your way and you have to go through waves of water, you are still you. Every day you chase, just to support the family. Being pressed on, got used to being quite so it is hard to say out loud? Happiness relay on success? At the end you will pay a high price. Branded stuff and gold, should you value it? Everyone need to climb up?  If you believe in your dream, then you can fly. High and low, gain or lose, even though you may not be able to dodge. You are your own legend, with your will, you will achieve something great. Learn to fight, don’t give up. Even if you are at your age, if you are living then you got no regret, being the you that you love. Please remember to dream, then you would be able to fly. High and low, gain or lose, you could never prepare. You are your own legend, fly up high in the road ahead. Even if it is not perfect, you only need to experience yourself.” Hope you will like the song.

27th Dec 2015 (尾班車 – Faye Wong/いつわりの日々 – 浜田省吾)

The song for today is “尾班車” by Faye Wong. This song is the Cantonese cover version of a Japanese song “いつわりの日々” by 浜田省吾. The direct English translation of Faye’s version’s title is “Last bus”.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The protagonist said: “The warm time, had already disappeared like dust. Broken rain, fragment of light shadow, bring more pain to my heart. In the past you said that you will love me for life. You said that you are too lazy to find another again. You said that you were born because of me. Tonight I see through your heart, you used to fall in love with other. In love with other, forget other, then pretend nothing happened. Goodbye darling, goodbye my love. Sitting in the last bus. Don’t need to be surprise when I say goodbye to you, say goodbye to this love. Goodbye darling, goodbye my love. Sitting in the last bus. Before sunrise, all these unfortunate, let the darkness cove it up, never love again. Goodbye to the past, goodbye to your voice. Long gone with the wind. Walking alone with pain, walking in the rain. The tears outside the door could no longer be hold.” I have linked to the original Japanese version as usual. Hope you will enjoy the songs.

25th Dec 2015 (暖色 – Candy Lo)

Hohoho, Merry Christmas everyone!!! :D Hope you all will have an enjoyable holiday and have a great time with the your friends and family (or people that you love :D). I wanted to write about a Christmas song today, but unfortunately, I have pretty much done all the Chinese pop Christmas song that are in a happy mood (the sad one I guess is not too suitable on this occasion). So instead of a proper happy Christmas song that matches the mood, I think I will just write on a song that match the mood. So the song for today is “暖色” by Candy Lo. The direct English translation of the title is “Warm colour”.

The lyrics of the song are about enjoying the colourful world. It said: “Love all the different warm colour in this world. You only need to widen your eye sight, and you could enjoy your happiness anytime. Use your heart to view every bit of this world, and you will notice that it is full of beautiful sceneries, full of surprises. Open your heart, let the warm feeling to go in. No matter how cold winter gets, your body wouldn’t shake. The slight yellow sun light, slowly supplying cool wind. The heart the love live, will fill the world with colours. Don’t like to put on makeup, only like to run around. Let the blood vessel to expand, to allow the face to turn cherry red. Let him appreciate me, breath in my natural beauty. Love all the different warm colour in this world. You only need to widen your eye sight, and you could enjoy your happiness anytime. Use your heart to view every bit of this world, the warmest colour. The dim morning, slowly supplying cool wind. The heart the love live, will fill the world with colours.  Playing classical music, listening the one that I love the most. The elegant dance music, the golden concerto. Let the sound dominate the senses, changing the light in the brain. Love all the different warm colour in this world. Kicking away the cold grey colour. Always feel the happiness. In the high, wide sky, using our own hand to put on all the beautiful colours. Love all the different warm colour in this world. You only need to widen your eye sight, and you could enjoy your happiness anytime. Use your heart to view every bit of this world, the warmest colour. To see more, use need to widen your eye sight. Use your heart to see, the warmest colour.” Hope you will like the song.

23rd Dec 2015 (歲月無悔 – Alfred Hui)

The song for today is “歲月無悔” by Alfred Hui. This is a reader request. This song is the theme song of a recent TVB drama. The direct English translation of the title is “No regrets in life”.

The lyrics of the song are about how to accept your fate. It said: “Who knows where it will end. Who knows when darkness will past. So many dreams no one talked about, and could not promised. Who could lose more dreams, who could lose their personality. No regrets in life, if you can win then it is right. Couldn’t dodge the danger in front. Couldn’t dodge the evil in front. Who know who could get through, no one could dream about that. Clearly know that nothing will change at the end, if you don’t care then stop getting it wrong. In regret in life, when the wound healed then just jump over. At danger time, it washed away hope. Watches time come and go, felt that it vanished. At an empty place at night, can only be lonely. Watching fate arrived, who would understand winning will become the king. At danger time, it washed away hope. Watches time come and go, already can’t feel anything. At an empty place at night, can only be lonely. Watching fate arrived, felt like unlimiting falling. Who knows where it will end. Who knows when darkness will past. So many dreams no one talked about, and could never promised. Who could lose more dreams, who could leave from the mix of love and hate. No regrets in life, if you can win then it is right. I also have no regret to accepted all the pain.” Hope you will like the song.

21st Dec 2015 (我們都受傷 – Jinny Ng)

The song for today is “我們都受傷”by Jinny Ng. This is a reader request. This is a theme song for a TVB drama that is current on air. The direct English translation of the title is “We both been hurt”.

The lyrics of the song about hope. The protagonist said: “That day I was like a blank paper. A pair of clear eyes, as clear as glass. My voice was so strong, full of passion. But carelessly, I caught a cold and got the flu. I lost my strength, couldn’t laugh any more, starting to lose oxygen. That day I have been hurt, so I understand this feeling. In the bure, the feeling that nothing could heal me up, had once made me cry until the morning. Please don’t let go of hope, as the long night is still full of stars. If you still got heartbeat, please come with me to go through the storm and believe that one day we will reach the shore. That day I wrote down the most painful chapter. The faith from before, I still wish that it could still be shining. Please believe that simple happiness is the most wonderful dream. Still remember that I was careless and I caught the cold, the first time getting the flu. Search and search, then finally managed to move out from the centre of the greenhouse (greenhouse here probably mean a place that the environment is so protective that it shield you from the reality, rather than the direct meaning of greenhouse). That day I have been hurt, so I understand this feeling. In the bure, the feeling that nothing could heal me up, had once made me cry until the morning. Please don’t let go of hope, as the long night is still full of stars. If you can get through the sadness, then there is no need to talk about the pain from the past. Please don’t give up hope, don’t waste your life. Try your best to get through the sadness. Who in their life haven’t been through some pain.” Hope you will like the song.

19th Dec 2015 (燈火欄柵處 – William So)

The song for today is “燈火欄柵處” William So. This is a reader request. The title is a bit hard to translate as it is an old Chinese phase that what it means directly is different to it actual meaning. Directly, the title translated as “Low light place”. But what it actually means is that it is a place close by that we have been neglecting all the time. It is part of a poem “眾裡尋他千百度,驀然回首,那人正在燈火闌珊處。” meaning “Searching for him everywhere, turned back, and that person is in that place close by”.

The lyrics of the song is an elaboration of the poem. The protagonist said: “Never have been colourful, getting to meet is just fate. People that I meet, sadly non got to know well. Those that surround me, don’t really care much about me. Today, it looks like that I had gain so much, but I have actually lost more. At the dim place, she smiles without a word. Whether there is no fate or at the end we managed to meet, it is still an unknown yet. Never know that it was so close. The love that built up, suddenly flooded. Never knew, it was just like a normal friend, but just at this moment, suddenly know what it means. I am angry, because it felt like I regret. I searched everywhere but never found anyone that wanted to get close to me. But I never heard of it, love perhaps aren’t far away, close to me but I never knew.” Hope you will like the song.
