30th Mar 2016 (圓 - AGA)

The song for today is “” by AGA. I quite like Aga, I think she got a good voice and very talented. However, I think she need to have a wider variety of songs. It seems that many of her songs sound alike. Despite I like them all, but sometime I found it hard to distinguish between some of them. Anyway, back to this song. The direct English translation of the title is “Circle”. This word in Chinese also means complete or whole.

The lyrics of the song are about love. The lyrics heavily played with words, “”, “”, “”, “” and “” all pronounce the same (well, “” pronounce slightly differently, but close enough), but all have different meaning (“circle”, “end”, “fate”, “wish” and “park”). The protagonist said: “’Circle’ is complete; ‘circle’ is that face that make people feel sweet. ‘Circle’ is the ring that we created when we turn during dancing; turn and turn and created love. ‘End’ is ‘lacking’, ‘end’ is that sentence that painful goodbye. Most worry that the person that I love the most would be seen again, can only mourn happiness. Who is waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting for the full moon. Who is worry, worry, worry, worry that happiness will be used up. Know that there is lover forever? Ending is the new beginning. The wish of gathering. Leaving one, opening one, a new one. The circle in our world perhaps is not fateful enough, but we will meet one day. The wish of fulfilling the disappointments. Willing to pray for a thousand times. If I can keep one happiness, this one, will still be warm, even when it is not considered as a perfect circular line. Who, walk, walk, walk, walked outside the paradise. Who is painful, painful, painful, heal in the pain. Even when there is still a long distance, I believe fate is on my side. The wish of gathering. Leaving one, opening one, a new one. The circle in our world perhaps is not fateful enough, but we will meet one day. The wish of fulfilling the disappointments. Willing to pray for a thousand times. If I can keep one happiness, this one, will still be warm, even if it is a circle that have a missing piece. Sadness let you to be more open-minded, let look into the distance. Don’t mind about the almost happy, almost warm, almost good future. My little wish, leaving one, opening one, a new one. The fate in our world could be drawn to be more complete. The defect from the past would make the world better. Still carrying the little wish, wish that the new year, another year, a new one. If I can keep one happiness, this one, will still be warm, at least what you lack today will see it tomorrow.” Hope you will like the song.

28th Mar 2016 (月球下的人 – Gin Lee)

The song for today is “月球下的人” by Gin Lee. This is Gin’s latest song, I really like it. It is one of the few songs that I have been looping a lot recently. The direct English translation of the title is “The person under the moon”. The title of the song is very similar to Eason’s “月球上的人” (only differ by 1 word really). The lyrics of both songs are written by the same person, but they are not really a pair. While both talk about a similar theme, the stories are not related.

The lyrics of the song are about the protagonist thinking of the person that she loves, even though they are now apart. She said: “Wishing to fly to the quite moon to gaze at the windows of every family, and find out who is beside their love one enjoying the smell of rose on their balcony. The decoration is beautiful, a warm environment, fulfilling each and every pair. Who is now accompanying you to gaze at the moon and to forget about the sadness in the world? Full moon is only deserved to be hang on a gathering night. Biasedly shining on the happy couples, like I am alone living in a faraway universe, only deserved to be singing alone. Shouldn’t remembered, but why remembered? We never own each other anything, so why jealous? Your world at the beginning, there was already someone there to take care, making a dish to create happiness and sadness. Only should remembered that dandelion will always fly, it just that it happened to fly into the monochrome beauty of the memories. Looking at the crescent moon tonight, and it looks like your eye brows. Letting you face fly with the moon, still beautiful even when everything is all overed. If I go past you old balcony to get back to my home, I wish that the decoration would still be like the way it was before. Sadly, the place of your partner have already been taken over by someone else. If there is still a promise that is hard to keep, let her sing with you. Shouldn’t remembered, but why remembered? We never own each other anything, so why jealous? Your world at the beginning, there was already someone there to take care, making a dish to create happiness and sadness. Only should remembered that dandelion will always fly, it just that it happened to fly into the monochrome beauty of the memories. The most crowded city, it is hard for lonely people to connected. I gaze from the moon, The light from each family feel so cold. Shouldn’t remembered, the sadness and happiness from the past, as they are all tricks of cruelty. The smell of black hair, after you lover brushed it, they flew away when they rove on my finger nail. Should only remembered that cherry blossom will always die. The petals will become the abstract beauty of my memories. Facing the same crescent moon, as I guess it still counts as that we haven’t departed. Let the memories fade with time. Even if I couldn’t bring it away, I still remember you.” Hope you will like the song.

25th Mar 2016 (穿花蝴蝶 – Janice Vidal)

The song for today is “穿花蝴蝶” by Janice Vidal. This is Janice latest song, her first song since she changed company. I am glad to see that she is becoming more active again. The direct English translation of the title is “Butterfly that wear flowers”.

The lyrics, I believe, are about letting go of your old self and becoming something even better and brighter. The protagonist said: “Who is she, who is she, looking at the mirror, there is only a wasteland. Who is she? This tear, is from me, but the feeling already gone. Nothing much, but the tears destroyed the makeup on my face. Clean it up then go to bed. Too tired to act, just stay inside the wall. Eyebrow and the forehead quietly shaken. Putting on makeup for so many years, that they have covered up my tiredness. Who would have noticed that perhaps I am about to be push too much too become crazy. Like butterfly break out from it cocoon, and the blow of the spring wind. I will open my wing, would others admire me? Face shows no fear, fly toward the sunset sky. Don’t care, don’t care, who is touching my skin. Only care that I can feel better. If I can be elegant, then there wouldn’t be any worry in the future. Who am I, who am I, why I dreamed that there would be rainbow after the rain? So sweet that I freed myself. Eyebrow and the forehead quietly shaken. For so long, the role has controlled my face. It is my pain, should I should be able to be agitated. Then I can relax, just like the butterfly break out from its cocoon. The spring wind blow, I opened my wings, could you see me fly? Face shows no fear, fly toward the yellow sky.” Hope you will like the song.

23th Mar 2016 (Believe in Live – Charmaine Fong)

The song for today is “Believe in Live” by Charmaine Fong. This is Charmaine’s latest song. Personally I quite like Charmain’s songs, she had been a bit quite for the last few years but had make a comeback since last year. Some of her songs are quite different to other Canton-pop, such as the song for today.

This song is the theme song for her concert. As such, the melody tried to get you moving and the lyrics somewhat like describing a party.  The protagonist said: “From today, male and female will have the same goal. Through away the troubles, smiling will make life easier. Love at the right time, come and hug for once. No beat, but there is a kiss with hints. Unbutton your clothes, and allow you to have it freely, the whole city will sweat to rotate your universe. Landed on the moon and play the music on the moon. Floating in this messy world but I don’t want to leave. Everyone is yelling, the minute arm is rotating at the speed of second. About to lose control, let the body to be free in fanaticism. Quicker, where to go tonight? Through aside any homework or work. Even if the sky fall, you can still be happy, smile to arrive. What will happen tomorrow morning? Where to go tonight? To be happy, you got to be spontaneous and you got to be first. 1234 I just want to listen to your heart. Hey can you tell me what you’ve got.. Never is too late, say it once more. Finally happened, this time. Don’t kill my v-i-&-b-e, feel so raw. Hey yo life’s short, take your chance to reach your thoughts. You just have to get the fun out of rocks. You’ve got to make your prayer, you’ve got to love your fellas. No matter good or bad you’ve got to cha cha cha. Hold up you bullets, forget all the reminiscence, the sun will shine up your life, you believe you’ll fly then you’ll fly. But first of all, believe in live”. Hope you will like this song.

21st Mar 2016 (勇 – Miriam Yeung)

The song for today is “” by Miriam Yeung. This is a reader request. The direct English translation of the title is “Brave”.

The lyrics of the song are about a girl who is willing to do anything for her love one. She said: “It is not like I scare of nothing. It is not like I am not scare of death. But before the romantic kiss, no matter now rough it is, for you I will treat them all as a flat land. Loving you doesn’t need to make sense. I just wish to use my instant to hold onto you. When I thought of you, the strength that I never got suddenly injected into my soft arms. People around never agreed, and moral wouldn’t accept this. Giving it everything, to a point that I couldn’t feel pain even when I am hurt. Just like crazily chasing after a dream, no matter how other pushes forward, they are still nowhere near how brave I am for you. No matter how red the red light on the road gets, no one would be able to block me. Even if a million horses and a thousand army is in front I will still push. I am not tender, but I am a bit brave. I also wanted to be loved, but I am willing to act as the hero to protect you. Even when you don’t give me a badge, I am still willing to keep going, smile for you to block off the danger. Falling then getting back up, just like a tumbler. Even though it is clear that I will be empty handed, but I will still give it my 100%. No more support, but I am still a bit brave. Those that wanted to be love, they all love bravely.” Hope you will like the song.

19th Mar 2016 (猜情尋 – Eason Chan)

The song for today is “猜情尋” by Eason Chan. This is another reader request. The title “猜情尋” in Cantonese broadly means any games that you play with hand, but generally it referred to rock scissor paper.

The lyrics of the song are about life, how you see success, the lyrics are actually quite deep. The protagonist said: “Games, even if you lose there is a limit. If it is so hard like a roller coaster, how to deal with it? No matter whether you will be able to have a bright future, if you play seriously, played the game with heart, it will be more fun. If there is lose in the game, then there is also win. Apart from strength, there is also fate. At the beginning you just wanted to play, why suddenly you wanted to gamble your life? Why scared and too worry, quickly listen. No matter whether it is smart or stupid, don’t think of it like you will need to battle this out with your life. Rock scissor paper, perhaps not as good as others, it will not affect how you smile to others. Never said that you need to win, if you managed to have fun then there is no regret. Rock scissor paper, rock scissor paper, even when you lose you can gain more than others, as you have got an extra lesson. Forward or backward is just a dream. After shaken, it is still a good dream. Not matter wither you could shine or not, your future is still useful. Your dreams fall through, then you will have free time to relax. No matter whether it is smart or stupid, don’t think of it like you will need to battle this out with your life. Rock scissor paper, perhaps not as good as others, it will not affect how you smile to others. Never said that you need to win, if you managed to have fun then there is no regret. Rock scissor paper, rock scissor paper, even when you lose you can gain more than others, as you have got an extra lesson. Can gain more than others. No need to treat it so seriously.” Hope you will enjoy this song.

17th Mar 2016 (下一站天后 – Twins)

The song for today is “下一站天后” by Twins. This is a reader request.  Personally I quite like this song, this is one of the few Twins songs that I actually from time to time. This song was the theme song for a movie, in which a girl dreamed to be a singer, but was rejected due to her looks. The phase “天后” have two meaning, one is “Tin Hau”, a place in Hong Kong, the other means “Sky queen” (a goddess in Chinese legend). While the lyrics plays with the idea of both meaning, I would guess that in this context, it would take the later meaning, as it is also a phase that used to describe a very popular singer (i.e. singing queen). So as such, the direct English translation of the title is “Next station Queen”. You may also like to listen to 司機” by Shawn Yu, which was also from the same movie.

The lyrics of the song are being a singing star. The protagonist said: “Standing at the front of Daimaru (a department store from Japan. There is a branch in Hong Kong, and it was a famous landmark), carefully looking through my road. The next station, to be queen, that would be great. But during the glamorous road of being a star, if I suddenly scare of height, would he still hug me from my back? The couple at Paterson street (a street in Hong Kong), they show their pride on their face. Allowing me to sing freely on the stage, it may not be the best as the fame would be like bobble (i.e. it will easily disappear). Even if I have my concert, and someone wanted to sing, he still can’t get to the venue. Still felt that I wasted my life, if I don’t love, how could I sing? No matter how many love songs there is for me to sing, it will still be a stretch. How will I shine? It is still very different that singing tenderly to the ears of my love one. Flying in my daydream, it is not too far, not too abstract. Later I become the queen, become the bride, both are my dream. At the square of time, everyone will get an award. If I don’t have any fan, I will have him to admire me. No matter how many love songs there is for me to sing, it will still be a stretch. How will I shine? It is still very different that singing tenderly to the ears of my love one. Really, my biggest dream is to follow him home and sing for him.” Hope you will like the song.
