Chinese Song of the Day

[leeyah]

行运 is used in fortune telling （算命）as in 行运配合. There's 流年运气 & also the phrase 新年行大运 used as New Year's greeting

行 walk + 运 = 运气 destiny = '走运' 的意思

始终 from beginning to end, carry on through

始终会行运 (finally able to) follow one's destiny/live one's destiny?

[leeyah]

天边 布仁巴雅尔 aka Bryber

Mongolian song in Mandarin...cool & relaxing melody ideal for the summer. A sentimental journey into the vastness of the skies over the 高原 ...

[Hofmann]

em, his Cantonese is... soooo sexy

Why don't you like...umm...learn Cantonese?

(BTW, I've uploaded sheet music for a piano reduction for the accompaniment in 鄧麗君's 但願人長久 that I posted a while back here.)

Here is a very lovely song (and singer and video!)

Two songs that I like written by the composer of 但願人長久:

1) (作曲/作詞: 梁弘志)

a. Sung by 譚詠麟: 半夢半醒之間

b. Sung by 蔡琴: 跟我說愛我

2) 何日君再來 by 鄧麗君

好花不常開　好景不常在

愁堆解笑眉　淚灑相思帶

今宵離別後　何日君再來

喝完了這杯　請進點小菜

人生難得幾回醉　不歡更何待

(來來來　喝完了這杯再說吧)

今宵離別後　何日君再來

停唱陽關疊　重擎白玉杯

慇勤頻致語　牢牢撫君懷

今宵離別後　何日君再來

喝完了這杯　請進點小菜

人生難得幾回醉　不歡更何待

(哎　再喝一杯　乾了吧)

今宵離別後　何日君再來

[heifeng]

I think this is the opening song for the drama 我是老板. In anycase, someone I know likes this song (insert rolling of eyes here) but actually, it's not a bad song at all :

演唱：庞龙 高明骏 阿浩

Usually, I don't post lyrics, but I like some of these, so there~

A （高明骏唱）

今天我早退 去开儿子的家长会

男人四十岁 扛着家庭早出晚归

运动不为健美 节食不为减肥

开始明白健康有多可贵

手气有时很背 老婆有时多嘴

有时也宁愿晚归

好车有多贵 女人有多美

银行里还有多少外汇

很容易喝醉 醉了会流泪

常对着镜子看自己 老了没

B（庞龙唱）

习惯了晚睡 生活开始依赖咖啡

男人三十岁 为了事业挖心掏肺

很久没整理 冰箱散发出腐坏气味

一直都没有时间去理会

电话忘了交费 厨房己经停水

还有老板不停地催

一直想要飞 却害怕累赘

现实像一床棉被

一直总在飞 西南到东北

常忘了哪里是家 该怎么回

（合唱）

男人的累有谁能真正理会别人的卑微

男人的泪总是在人群背后偷偷下坠

伤痕累累

才知道正视自己的惭愧

是是非非

才知道没有缺憾的人生不算完美

C（阿浩唱）

买不起玫瑰 就去栽培一株花蕊

男人二十岁 除了恋爱什么也不会

隔壁班的辣妹 就喜欢梁朝伟

我就把他的台词都背会

历史系的阿梅 就喜欢张惠妹

我带她去看演唱会

把学业都荒废 拿不到学位

父母该怎么面对

将来投入社会 得不到地位

这种男人怎么会 有人追

（合唱）

男人的背 该背负一身重担才能够高飞

男人的腿 该走遍千山万水从不能说累

男人的累 仍然让自己一天天憔悴

男人的泪

难道要全部吞下去嚼碎才算完美

ok, went KTV'ing yesterday, and this one was sung, which may have been mentioned on the forums before...hmm, sorry if it's already on this thread, but I searched (w/ simplified at least) already and didn't seem to spot it (I have a sneaking suspicion bhchao already posted this though, but I don't feel like flippin thru all these posts:mrgreen:), so if it's already here, you can just listen to it again:twisted:

酒干倘卖无（苏芮）

Thanks for posting such a good song.

That song is hard to sing at KTV. It is the hit song from the 80s film 搭錯車. It was one of my mom's favorites.

I did post that song in post #118 on Page 6, but youtube removed the video.

Here is a better rendition of 酒干倘賣無 from 蘇芮 during her prime years.

Love theme from the film Farewell My Concubine: 當愛已成往事

[skylee]

I like this 2003 live recording sung by 譚詠麟 and 李克勤 a LOT. I think I just like the interaction.

Currently enjoying the music of 陶晶莹, which is good as I can't get the stuff out of my head anyway。 Damn your eyes Heifeng, it's all your fault. Here's 爱缺 on Youku.

omg I loooooooooooover her songs. I'm glad you're hooked too wahaha

The following song was actually the song that 'introduced' me to her. This song use to play all the time when I was in Shanghai on this entertainment program that would come on at midnight. Oh, I yearn for those days of hot and humid Shanghai nights, eating ice cream, watching 情深深雨蒙蒙 with my classmates, followed by some 陶晶莹 videos (her CD 青春 had just came out a lil' earlier so it was being promoted left and right). Needless to say I have many nice memories associated with her songs:)

Now, without further adieu, the very first song that made me a 陶晶莹 fan! Love her voice, her style, her music, and lyrics here. I even love the random hairdryer scene.

No Answer

yogurt and coke light?! It's like she's looking in my (mini) fridge~Gotta luv it! I hear ya sister!

梅花三弄 by 姜育恆

姜育恆's rendition is the best IMO, although Fei Yu Qing's version is also good. The melody was originally written during the Jin dynasty. Qiong Yao is the lyricist.

Three songs I like from 張信哲:

1) 難以抗拒你容顏

2)

(Lyricist: 李宗盛)

不問你為何流眼淚

不在乎你心裏還有誰

且讓我給你安慰　不論結局是喜是悲

走過千山萬水　在我心裏你永遠是那麼美

既然愛了就不後悔 (既然愛了就無怨無悔)

再多的苦我也願意背

我的愛如潮水　愛如潮水將我向你推

緊緊跟隨　愛如潮水它將你我包圍

我再也不願見你在深夜裏買醉

不願別的男人見識你的嫵媚

你該知道這樣會讓我心碎

答應我你從此不在深夜裏徘徊

不要輕易嘗試放縱的滋味

你可知道這樣會讓我心碎

3) 到處留情 (in Cantonese)

[skylee]

3) 到處留情 (in Cantonese)

I love this song, as it's about travelling ang forgetting.

[wai ming]

Heard this song on the radio recently, but only just found out it is quite an old song

涼風輕輕吹到　俏然進了我衣襟

夏天偷去　聽不見聲音

日子匆匆走過　倍令我有百感生

記掛那一片景象繽紛

隨風輕輕吹到　你步進了我的心

在一息間　改變我一生

付出多少熱誠　也沒法去計得真

卻也不需再驚懼　風雨侵

＊吹啊吹　讓這風吹

抹乾眼眸裡　亮晶的眼淚

吹啊吹　讓這風吹

哀傷通通帶走　管風裡是誰

從風沙初起想到是季節變更

夢中醒卻　歲月如飛奔

是否早訂下來　你或我也會變心

慨嘆怎麼會　久合　終要分

狂風吹得起勁　朗月也要被敝隱

泛起一片迷矇塵埃滾

掠走心裡一切美夢　帶去那歡欣

帶去我的愛　只是　獨留恨

Original version - Paula Tsui 徐小鳳

Anita Mui 梅艷芳's version

[bhchao]

All three versions of 風的季節 are nice. Paula and Anita's versions stand out. I like this Cantonese song by Paula Tsui: 随想曲

1) 鬼迷心竅 (Great lyrics) by 李宗盛

2) By 張信哲:

a)

B) 有一點動心 with 劉嘉玲

3) 我不該看你的眼神 by 蘇芮 and 鍾鎮濤

I find Paula Tsui's voice to be a bit deep. Yet her singing is classy and I particularly like her Cantonese songs. The same applies to Jeff Chang. I'm not a fan of his high-pitched voice. But I like his delivery, the way he sings his songs. 很有情緒的味道

Here is a song that Paula Tsui and Teresa Teng sang in their own versions. The melody is originally a Japanese melody. The lyrics of both versions were composed in Chinese.

無奈 (in Cantonese) by Paula Tsui

無奈 (in Mandarin) by Teresa Teng

我本來打算離你遠去　從此不再提起你

看著你一臉茫然　眼眶是淚滴

我無能為力

心中的無奈　像一根線

牽絆著我還有你

我實在實在　沒有勇氣

來拋下這情意

這一刻雖然默默無語　但是我心在哭泣

求求你不要問我　為什麼淒淒

我無法回答你

也許有一天　我離開你

請相信是不得已

我心中心中　有個秘密

卻無法告訴你

我青梅竹馬童年伴侶　如今又與我相聚

我們倆從前有過　愛情的默契

今生要在一起

這一份無奈　隱藏心底

該選擇他還是你

你教我教我　怎麼處理

這三角的難題

你教我教我　怎麼處理

這三角的難題
