黎明 Leon Lai - 情

[skylee]

I don't particularly like this artist or his songs / films (but he was the male lead in the highly acclaimed film 甜蜜蜜 and he was once a main competitor of Jacky Cheung).

Anyways I have heard this (relatively) new song on the radio a few times and the lyrcis really caught my attention. The lyrics are sad and Leon Lai being the artist he is sings it as plainly and emotionlessly as he usually does and it makes the song even sadder.

And then I found out on the internet that the lyrics were written by 林夕. And then I thought, "of course, no wonder".　PS - the key (always) seems to be 捨棄 / 避開傷悲, which I tend to agree.

情

主唱：黎明　作曲：雷頌德　填詞：林夕

假使不必一起都能愉快

怎麼不可一起不要了解

為了各有各的眼前人

無謂誠實地破壞

別計較　愛也不過是愛　別越放越大

別破戒　為了真相不滿　已美滿的世界

不甘心　想更改哪個結果　

不死心　想狠心證實甚麼　

錯過了　最後也只好　互相放過　

看不見你　我就當不愛你　

餘情想得起卻傷不起　

如能殘忍捨棄　是種福氣　唯有銘記　

我失去了你亦當得到你　

當你終身不見的知己

情緣無須相處　避開傷悲

完美得不配一起

超越愛過你滋味

假使今天剛巧街頭遇到

應該假裝剛剛飲到醉倒

下半世你要舉案齊眉

就當眉頭用鐵造

為了你　我會刻意做到　妒嫉變羨慕　

沒有我　你也早已知道　愛哪個都很好　

不甘心　想更改哪個結果　

不死心　想狠心證實甚麼　

錯過了　最後也只好　互相放過

　

愛不到你　我就當不愛你　

餘情想得起卻傷不起　

如能殘忍捨棄　是種福氣　唯有銘記　

我失去了你亦當得到你　

當你終身不見的知己

情緣無須相處　避開傷悲

完美得不配一起

誰人才值得終生銘記　但幸福怎去相比

夢裏亦不忍心打擾你

愛不到你　我就當不愛你


餘情想得起卻傷不起


如能殘忍捨棄　是種福氣　唯有銘記


我失去了你亦當得到你　


當你終身不見的知己


情緣無須相處　避開傷悲　


完美得不配一起

早點相識不必等如運氣

差點相戀不必追悔至死

i went to YouTube and Leon's voice is pleasant enough. Does he sing also in Mandarin? I am trying to listen to Mandarin as much as possible but when I go to YouTube, I realised I don't have a single name to search for. Who should I listen to? Please, a list of Mandarin singer names ......

Me, too.

agree!

Nice lyrics!

Your description matches every single mention I've ever read of him. I think even the directors caught up to that and put him on roles where all he has to do is stare blank, like in Bodyguards and Assassins.
