Chinese Song of the Day

[trien27]

2 other Cantonese songs by 許茹芸[Valen Hsu]

1. 頭髮["Hair"] (as evidenced in the title in the video) but put wrong by the person who uploaded the video as 長髮["Long hair"]. EDIT: The video is about her long hair.

I cannot get 林志炫's 離人 (posted at #356 by bhchao) out of my head. The more I think about it the better it seems. I think Lin's version is better than Jacky Cheung's original.

Jacky Cheung's original version of 離人 was the first version I listened to (have his album).

I also like 林志炫's version better.

I think I have rediscovered Jacky Cheung He is such a great singer and I don't know why I had stopped listening to his songs.

I didn't like this song when it was new. And now I wonder why. I remember clearly that I didn't understand the line 你高山我深海. And now I wonder why I didn't understand it. And I didn't know 吳國敬 wrote the song.

我應該 (I should have)

曲：吳國敬　詞：陳少琪　唱：張學友

你眼蓋脫了色彩　頸巾即將鬆脫下來

我在探聽誰像親你在懷內　可是你　心不會裝載

而我知身受其害　仍然在說都不必分開

應該早已沒期待　應該心死為何仍未放開

應該不要回來任你傷害

戀甚麼愛　你精彩　我悲哀

盼你性格會更改　始終苦等一個未來

你諷刺我人活於五十年代　不用再　得一個深愛

常痛哭躲在門外　誰人共你正在內　傳來聲聲喝采

應該早已沒期待　應該心死為何仍未放開

應該不要回來任你傷害

戀甚麼愛　你精彩　我悲哀

戀甚麼愛　你高山　我深海

我應該 (I should have)

For those who can't use sogou.com [like me], here's the same song in Youtube.com: 我應該

Thanks for the song & lyrics, skylee.

I don't like sad songs, but here's a good one by Jacky also:

一千個傷心的理由

[trien27]

你是我一生中最大的骄傲 by Andy Lau, 刘德华.

[road2china]

Here's my chinese song of the day! I can't sing as well as Michael Wong but I had a go!

[skylee]

Further to my post #366, here is the same song sung by Andy Hui (許志安) [starts at 3:07 mins, also learn about the regret of the artist] ->

Some find his renditions better than Jacky Cheung's. I don't agree. What do you think?

後來 by 劉若英

by 陳淑樺

1) 相思河畔 by 蔡琴

2) 愛在深秋 (in Cantonese) by 譚詠麟

3)

by 劉若英

I am quite old-fashioned and tend not to prefer light-hearted "girl sassy songs". But Rene Liu does it so well with a simplicity and ease that soothes the mind. And she can sing too.

陰天

作曲: 李宗盛

作詞: 李宗盛

原唱: 莫文蔚

陰天　在不開燈的房間　當所有思緒都一點一點沉澱

愛情究竟是精神鴉片　還是世紀末的無聊消遣

香煙　氳成一灘光圈　和他的照片就擺在手邊

傻傻兩個人　笑的多甜

開始總是分分鐘都妙不可言　誰都以為熱情它永不會減

除了激情褪去後的那一點點倦　也許像誰說過的貪得無厭

活該應了誰說過的不知檢點　總之那幾年　感性贏了理性那一面

陰天　在不開燈的房間　當所有思緒都一點一點沉澱

愛恨情慾裡的疑點　盲點　呼之欲出　那麼明顯

女孩　通通讓到一邊　這歌裡的細微末節就算都體驗

若想真明白　真要好幾年

回想那一天　喧鬧的喜宴　耳邊響起的究竟是序曲或完結篇

感情不就是你情我願　最好愛恨扯平兩不相欠

感情說穿了　一人掙脫的　一人去撿

男人大可不必百口莫辯　女人實在無須楚楚可憐

總之那幾年　你們兩個沒有緣

[skylee]

I like 李宗盛's version better.

[aristotle1990]

TV秀, by my favorite angry Chinese metal band 扭曲的机器. If you're into Rage of the Machine or System of a Down, definitely check them out. (Superb for learning useful phrases that you're not gonna learn in class, like "i don't know what fucking bullshit your head is filled with".)

Their 镜子中 is also very good.

[calibre2001]

陶喆-小鎮姑娘

Some good ole blues/funk/motown disguised as a mandarin song haha

- studio version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4QgPIsuOKc - HK live 03 version

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vYSSRXcIHdQ&feature=related - a very cool classic rock version

[skylee]

I was listening to 我應該 (at #366) again just now and all of sudden I felt very sad. 眼淚奪眶而出 kind of sad. Not sure if it was because of the line 應該早已沒期待　應該心死為何仍未放開, or Jacky Cheung's singing. Some songs affect me. This one surely does.

[doraemon]

I've become quite attached to these three songs:

刹破狼

终于明白

They're all from the Chinese television series 仙剑奇侠传. I think I like 刹破狼 the best out of all three.

[bhchao]

我是一隻小小鳥

作曲: 李宗盛

作詞: 李宗盛

原唱: 趙傳

有時候我覺得自己像一隻小小鳥　想要飛卻怎樣也飛不高

也許有一天我棲上了枝頭卻成為獵人的目標

我飛上了青天才發現自己從此無依無靠

每次到了夜深人靜的時候我總是睡不著

我懷疑是不是只有我的明天沒有變得更好

未來會怎樣究竟有誰會知道

幸福是否只是一種傳說我永遠都找不到

我是一隻小小小小鳥　想要飛呀飛卻飛也飛不高

我尋尋覓覓尋尋覓覓一個溫暖的懷抱　這樣的要求算不算太高

所有知道我的名字的人啊你們好不好

世界是如此的小　我們註定無處可逃

當我嚐盡人情冷暖　當你決定為了你的理想燃燒

生活的壓力與生命的尊嚴那一個重要
