Sing a good song 唱一首好歌

[skylee]

I can't explain it but I've been humming this song since lunch time today. The opening lyrics are really beautiful.

This is an old song which was popular about 20+ years ago. It is a cover version of a Bee Gees song and the original Chinese version was sung by Alan Tam. It seems that several singers have since re-done it and the duet between Alan Tam and Shirley Kwan is actually quite nice (Kwan is the main vocal of this version). And I can't find Alan Tam's old solo version on the internet (yet).

Searching it on the internet, I've observed that people seem to be unable to get all the characters of the song right (mixing up 須 and 雖, 休 and 憂 etc). It is so strange.

唱一首好歌

歌手：譚詠麟

作曲：Barry & Maurice Gibb

填詞：鄭國江

清風輕吹過　如一首新的歌　寒雨正細細下　荒街我步過

車輕輕駛過　輪胎軌跡輕拖　寒雨裏悄悄問　她走了日子怎過

嗯　憂得幾多

滿天風雨會漸過　冷天總會過　晚黑總會過　

愛戀失去咪恨錯　唱首歌

一首好歌啟發向上　須知一生可愛處甚多

睇到花開不必要收果

休歎奈何　不必悔過　一生不要恨錯　唱首歌

想找真的愛　願天天都奔波　行遍這世界上　都不會恨錯

找到真的愛　忙鎖它於心窩　情愛會有變幻　失戀了日子怎過

嗯　憂得幾多

每天眨下眼就過　美景好快過　困境好快過

愛戀失去咪恨錯　唱首歌

歌曲之中充滿讚頌　須知一生可愛處甚多

睇到花開不必要收果

休歎奈何　不必悔過　一生不要恨錯　唱首歌

thanks. I know many Bee Gees songs. Actually I am not unfamiliar with western pop music of the 70s and 80s.
