studentyoung Posted October 22, 2004 at 01:44 AM Report Posted October 22, 2004 at 01:44 AM 同是过路，同作过梦，本应是一对。人在少年梦中不觉醒后要归去。 三餐一宿也共一双到底会是谁？ 但凡未得到，但凡是过去，总是最登对。 台下你望，台上我做，你想做的戏。 前事故人忘忧的你，可曾记得起？ 欢喜伤悲，老病生死，算不上传奇。 恨台上卿卿，或台下我我，不是我跟你。 俗尘渺渺，天意茫茫，将你共我分开， 断肠字点点，风雨声绵绵，似是故人来。 何日再在何地再聚，说今夜真暖。 无份有缘，回忆不断，生命却苦短。 一种相思，两段苦恋，半生说没完， 在年月深渊，望明月远远，想像你幽怨。 留下你，或留下我在世间上终老， 离别以前未知相对当日那么好。 执子之手，却又分手，爱得有或无？ 十年后双双，万年后对对，只恨看不到 ！Mr.Lin Xi林夕, you remind me of Mr. Liu yong 柳永！ Quote
studentyoung Posted October 22, 2004 at 01:47 AM Report Posted October 22, 2004 at 01:47 AM Sorry everybody! I forget to tell you the name of the song is "似是故人来", written by Mr. Lin xi. Quote

In our youth, in our dreamy days, we did not notice that you would go away after we were both awake. Three meals a day, one house to stay, who one earth will share with me to make a pair? All the un catchable, all the past, are well matched in my brain. Quote: 台下你望，台上我做，你想做的戏。 前事故人忘忧的你，可曾记得起？ 欢喜伤悲，老病生死，算不上传奇。 恨台上卿卿，或台下我我，不是我跟你。 Under the stage you watch me on the stage acting in a opera in which you want to play. My love forgotten all the pain, have you ever remembered: Gladness, sadness, consenescence, illness, life and death, can not be accounted for elements of romance. I regred that pairs on the stage, couples under the stage were the roles would never in the reality for you and me to play. Quote: 俗尘渺渺，天意茫茫，将你共我分开， 断肠字点点，风雨声绵绵，似是故人来。 The world is uncertain and the heavens' will is vague, make us break away. Heartbreaking words letter by letter Wind and rain hail by hail, Just as if you were coming back once more. Quote: 何日再在何地再聚，说今夜真暖。 无份有缘，回忆不断，生命却苦短。 一种相思，两段苦恋，半生说没完， 在年月深渊，望明月远远，想像你幽怨。 Some day,somewhere we would reunite, saying"How warm is the night!" We had the luck to love but not to get marry, leaving lots of memories in our bitter and short life. One lovesickness and two bitter love stories were in tangle in almost half of my life. In the deep deep abyss of time, watch the moon far far in the sky, I can imagine the bitterness you hide. Quote: 留下你，或留下我在世间上终老， 离别以前未知相对当日那么好。 执子之手，却又分手，爱得有或无？ 十年后双双，万年后对对，只恨看不到。 Who knows whether to leave you or me to spand the remaining years till death. Before we were apart,we hadn't known staying together was how wonderful. Held your hands the broken up again, I doublt the love we had. Pairs after ten years, couples after ten thousand years can't be seen, I regred. Quote
skylee Posted January 7, 2005 at 04:11 PM Author Report Posted January 7, 2005 at 04:11 PM Nice song, nice lyrics -> 似是故人來 (theme song of the film 雙鐲 IIRC) BTW, great lyricists are often compared to 柳永 (see Ian's post about 黃霑 here). Quote
studentyoung Posted January 8, 2005 at 03:54 AM Report Posted January 8, 2005 at 03:54 AM Dear Skylee, Thanks so much for your praise to this song! I like 黄霑's lyrics too. But I think that Wong's style is quite bold and unconstrained and is much closer to 苏东波, just like 苏's famous words“大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。”. But Lin's style is gentle and graceful and is much closer to 柳永, just like 柳's famous words “今宵酒醒何处，杨柳岸，晓风残月。”. Please take it easy, it is just my private opinion.(谢谢你对这首歌的赞扬！我也喜欢黄霑的词。但我认为黄的词风格豪放不羁，更接近苏东坡，就像苏的名句“大江东去，浪淘尽，千古风流人物。”； 但林的风格温柔婉约，更贴近柳永，就像柳的名句“今宵酒醒何处，杨柳岸，晓风残月。”。请勿介意，这仅仅是我个人的看法。) Thanks again for your kind words on this song! (再次感谢你对这首歌善意的评论。) Quote
HashiriKata Posted January 9, 2005 at 01:17 PM Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 01:17 PM Does anyone know where to get a Mandarin version of this song 似是故人來 ? I've tried the link by skylee and also downloaded a few from baidu but they're all in Cantonese, which I don't understand. Also, does 故人 just mean "old friend" in Chinese? I'm curious because I had the impression that it might mean more than just "old friend" (if you think that this impression is just too romantic, please excuse me ). Thanks, HK Quote
skylee Posted January 9, 2005 at 01:36 PM Author Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 01:36 PM It is in Cantonese. And it was sung by 梅艷芳 (our diva). I am not sure if there is a mandarin version (why? you don't like it in CANTONESE? ). The words sung are exactly the same as in the lyrics provided by studentyoung, but with different pronunciations. Yes 故人 is one of those romantic terms. Quote
skylee Posted January 9, 2005 at 01:53 PM Author Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 01:53 PM studentyoung, I agree that 黃霑's style is closer to Mr Dongpo. But the 柳永 reference was about their popularity rather than styles. Quote
39degN Posted January 9, 2005 at 02:17 PM Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 02:17 PM there is another one from 围城, but i forgot what exactly it is, roughly says, "鲍小姐" 被称为"半个真理", 因为真理总是赤裸裸的... Quote
skylee Posted January 9, 2005 at 02:30 PM Author Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 02:30 PM 39, that is - 有人叫她"熟食鋪子" (charcuterie)，因為只有熟食店會把那許多顏色溫暖的肉公開陳列；又有人叫她"真理"，因為據說"真理是赤裸裸的"。鮑小姐並未一絲不掛，所以他們修正為"局部的真理"。 Quote
39degN Posted January 9, 2005 at 02:51 PM Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 02:51 PM yeah, that it! thank you! Quote
HashiriKata Posted January 9, 2005 at 03:42 PM Report Posted January 9, 2005 at 03:42 PM why? you don't like it in CANTONESE? It's growing on me! Yes 故人 is one of those romantic terms. So when a Chinese person says "This is an old friend", are we supposed to interpret that romantically? and thanks for replying! Quote
Ian_Lee Posted January 20, 2005 at 08:40 PM Report Posted January 20, 2005 at 08:40 PM 故人 can also mean the person (that you knew) who passed away. In sleep, sometimes you dream 似是故人來入夢 Quote
