我係邊個

我係邊個 -- 林海峰

又夠鐘熄燈　眨眼一過
望到天花板都裂左
成疊影碟買左冇睇過
我出去廳坐　坐底然後訓低左
就快天光囉　成日點樣過

亂摷一堆衫點襯都係錯　又夠鐘番工幹甚麼
其實想點我都有諗過　理想兩三個
結果成事有幾多　年月一一經過
時代總拋低我

＊屋企裡面亂到咁　行定坐
　出街我又問去邊
　其實我　我係邊個
　不東不西　這是我

＃開哂燈睇清楚　我煮完麵冇熄火
　連啖湯都搞禍　其實我　諗得多都有O的餓

又記得初中戀愛歡樂過　但記得真名不太多
其實拖手我拖過幾個　嫁左有一個
信件成疊儲起左　回望身邊一個
明白嗎　知道麼

Repeat ＊＃

悶要聽下歌就要聽快歌 但其實慢歌岩我

Repeat ＊

想太多　得幾多　我洗完面看清楚
全部周刊睇過　其實我都應該　相信星座

A very old song

Not sure why it always pops up in my mind these few days.

Wat da Hell

Christmas is coming soon.
I'm not a Christian, I don't celebrate Christmas.
The only thing I like about Christmas is the Christmas songs.

This year, I highly recommend this song to Hong Kong Chinese, especially to the Hong Kong Government. The lyric of the song is nothing about Christmas actually.

In fact this is a theme song of the radio drama Wat da Hell <大野叔叔拆你屋> by Commercial Radio 2. The aim of the radio drama is to satirize the fact that the government is trying to take apart all the historical buildings. The lyric of the theme songs is very simple yet able to express the feelings of the majority of the public. I love it very much!

However, I am only able to find the DJ version now, will try to find the plain version later on.



主題曲：《大野叔叔拆你屋》
主唱：王菀之／夢特嬌．全／黃貫中(Ad-lib：滴滴仔／大野先生)

拆左你未　拆左我未　好彩未　快到期
大笨鐘聽朝變左"達"地
就像一起身冇左個鼻
要嚇死或笑死

（滴滴仔：大野先生。
大野：唔？
滴滴仔：係咪夠鐘拆大笨鐘啦？
大野：未住，仲有成秒鐘。
滴滴仔：吓？）

拆左你未　拆左我未　好彩未　快到期
大笨鐘聽朝變左"達"地
就像一起身冇左個鼻
要嚇死或笑死
一棵淚水"冼"落o黎
good bye the old good days

for myself

A song that makes me cry

ENJOLRAS
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

COMBEFERRE
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Courfeyrac:
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

FEUILLY
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!

ALL
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

A Song

Whenever I'm too tired, about to give up..
this is the song I like to listen to.
It talks about many major issues happened in HK.
Dunno why, usually after I listen to Jan Lamb's songs, especially this type, I will become better.
Then I can get back to my work.

陳奕迅 - Crying in the Party
作曲: 黎小田
填詞: 黃偉文
編曲: 褚鎮東

熱播的歌 忽爾靜了
場邊 一聲慘叫
好友都靠近了
你沒有被忘掉
觀眾 預了分擔惡兆

大喝三杯 失控地笑
孩子 終於哭了
空氣的震盪裡
你沒說但心照
某個事情大概 不妙了

*因一個人痛哭
哭崩派對舞曲
我也曾像這樣
青春大概相似
總有段情 落入這種 困局

或有一天 當你大了
城府 開始深了
年輕的眼淚流光了
便掛念曾經這樣了*

讓你哭泣 哭到倦了
重整 呼吸心跳
哭過吵過鬧過
你為愛做足了
再接下來就要 收拾了

Repeat *
是 所有熱情會乾掉
一發現已經成熟了

The Mean Kitty Song

world lost

Tenor Luciano Pavarotti dead at 71

no longer my dream..

let me cry
let me sad
let me mad
for as long as I want

who cares anyway...?

La Vie En Rose

La Vie En Rose - Edith Piaf
Lyrics

How can I not love you?

How Can I Not Love You Lyrics - Joy Enriquez

Cannot touch, cannot hold
Cannot be together
Cannot love, cannot kiss
Cannot have each other

Must be strong, and we must let go
Cannot say what our hearts must know
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one waltz away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?

Cannot dream, Cannot share
Sweet and tender moments
Cannot feel how we feel
Must pretend it's over

Must be brave, and we must go on
Must not say what we've known all along
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one waltz away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?
How can I not love you?

Must be brave, and we must be strong
Cannot say what we've known all along
How can I not love you?
What do I tell my heart?
When do I not want you here in my arms?
How does one waltz away from all of the memories?
How do I not miss you when you are gone?

How can I not love you when you are gone?

Anak

Heard this old song at a pub on Wednesday night. This is a very touching tagalog song written in the 70s.

The song was written by Freddie Aguilar to express apology to his parents 5 years after he left school at the age of 18 and got into gambling.

The song first starts out on how a boy's parents took very good care of him when he was a baby. It says that they stayed up late because he was crying for milk. Then, when the baby grows up, he doesn't respect his parents. They wonder what caused him or her to be like that.

And thus the title of the song is Anak (Filipino for Child, a son or a daughter)

The song was a great hit in the 70s and was translated to 26 different languages.

Here's the original Tagalog version

English version

The singer at the pub that night performed the Tagalog version of Anak, although I didn't understand a word of the song and I didn't know the story behind the song at that time, I was still very touched.

I want to dedicate this song to my parents, especially my dad. I really really love him so much. And he's the only person in the world who can forgive whatever I did and still love me unconditionally.

情人的眼淚

Found this old song from the latest album by Jay Chou

情人的眼淚 - 姚蘇蓉
曲︰姚敏 詞︰陳蝶衣

為什麼要對你掉眼淚
你難道不明白為了愛
只有那有情人眼淚最珍貴
一顆顆眼淚都是愛都是愛

＊為什麼要對你掉眼淚
你難道不明白為了愛
要不是有情郎跟我要分開
我眼淚不會掉下來掉下來

好春才來　春花正開
你怎捨得說再會
我在深閨　望穿秋水
你不要忘了我情深深如海

重唱　＊

我眼淚不會掉下來掉下來

zi lang zi bua - again!!

Two days ago I mentioned about the film <881> and the theme song <一人一半>. I said that I prefer the original Hokkien version rather than the new Mandarin version, so I asked my 'brother', the man who treats me the best in the world (except my dad), to translate the lyrics into Chinese for me. I didn't expect he will really do so when I emailed and asked him.. coz he never teach me any Hokkien when I heard him talking Hokkien to others and asked him to explain to me. But once again he did something so sweet to me and lightened my day from heavy readings, bad weather and bad mood..

After reading the lyrics, I love this song more, a lot more than the Mandarin one.. the lyrics is actually far more better than the Mandarin one. It's more plaintive, more romantic, more touching. With Liu Ling Ling's voice and emotions.. I do cry when hearing this wonderful song!

Here's the song again:


The translations by my brother, Charles.

一人一半 感情不會散
一人一素故 感情才會久
一款一邊 感情哪會痺
一人一嘴 永遠不會分開

一款的人 一款的夢
為怎樣傷得阮這麼重
為你思念 為你惆悵
你才會狠心放阮一人

越想越亂 越想越夢
為著你心茫茫心沉重
你有所想 你有所夢
你可會當阮是你的人

一人一半 感情不會散
一人一嘴 永遠不會分開

*阮=我

PS: Bro Charles, thanks for the translations, I LOVE U SOOOOO MUCH!!!! *muack

Tears

Haven't heard this song for ages.. I used to hear it to make myself cry sometime when I wanted to cry but couldn't do so..

sadly, it doesn't work this time.. i'm exhausted...

眼淚 - 范曉萱
詞:黃國倫　曲:黃國倫

青春若有張不老的臉
但願它永遠不被改變
許多夢想總編織太美
跟著迎接幻滅

愛上你是最快樂的事
卻又換來最痛苦的悲
苦澀交錯愛的甜美
我怎樣都學不會　ha～～～～

oh～～眼淚
眼淚都是我的體會 成長的滋味
oh～～眼淚
忍住眼淚不讓你看見 我在改變

孤單的感覺
你從不曾發現
我笑中還有淚

oh～～眼淚
眼淚流過無言的夜　心痛的滋味
oh～～眼淚
擦乾眼淚忘掉一切　曾有的眷戀

眼淚是苦　眼淚是傷悲眼淚都是你
眼淚是甜　眼淚是昨天眼淚不流淚

zi lang zi bua.. gum qing buay shua

I went to see my first Singapore local movie <881> last night. It was an amazing experience.

For those who are not in Singapore, 881 is the first musical movie from Singapore which tells a story about the Papaya Sisters, two childhood friends who grew up mesmerised by the glitter and glamour of getai (歌台).

What's getai then? It's like what we called 孟蘭盛會 in Hong Kong, where people set up song stages in public areas during the Hungry Ghost Festival in the 7th lunar month. The performance is both for the human and the spirits. But unlike Hong Kong, Singaporeans perform in a more modern way while they wear very loud and glittery clothings. While in HK, da xi (大戲) is the main type of performance. Oh.. one more special thing is that in Hong Kong, during the performance, the first row of seats will be 'reserved' for the spirits so no human is allowed to sit there. Check out here for more information on getai.

I had some hard times watching the movie since a major part of the conversations were in Hokkien. So I had to read the subtitle but even if you don't speak Hokkien, you should know how fast can one speak in Hokkien!! Basically sometimes I couldn't follow the subtitle!!

There were lots of beautiful songs in the movie! And again they were in Hokkien as well! I think I heard most of them before (at least the melody). I LOVE those songs! But this time I got the chances to read the lyrics and understand the meaning behind the songs. I noticed that most of the songs are about sad stories, sad love stories, sad family stories... etc. I guess it has something to do with the Chinese culture.

You may wonder what are those Hokkien pingyin stand for in the title of this blog entry, put them in Chinese charaters, they will be "一人一半.. 感情不散". Which is one of the theme songs of the movie. It is actually an old Hokkien song, during the movie, you can hear Auntie Ling (Liu Ling Ling, who is actually a getai singer before) sings beautifully and you will be deeply touched by her voice. I actually like her the most in this movie.

This is Liu Ling Ling's version in the movie:




And there is also another version in Mandarin, performed by 伍家輝. I think more people prefer this version because they can understand the lyrics and the lyrics are sooo nice! To me, this song isn't just talk about love between a couple, it also talks about love between everyone. But I guess I'll leave it for you to taste it in your own way.

《一人一半》演唱：伍家輝
改編詞:小寒 曲:伍家輝

一人一半 感情不散
一人一素故 感情才會久
時光累積 安靜的淚滴
一心去追 愛那麼可貴

這樣的人 這樣地等
無非是等個回應眼神
為愛翻滾 不計傷痕
甘心為你一生都浮沉

這樣的人 別笑我蠢
傻傻的 心痛也不覺疼
就算天冷 就算殘忍
等你想起這沒用的人

一人一半 感情不散
已經找到愛 為何要離開

時光累計 安靜的淚滴
一心去追 愛那麼可貴

一人一半 感情不散
已經找到愛 為何要離開
已經找到愛 為何先離開
