You have me, I have you - too fake
You have you, I have me - too scary
You and me, me and you - both have differences
You love me, I love you - it's probably hallucination
You blame me, I blame you - too shameful to ourselves
You watch me, I watch you - too delicate
You owe me, I owe you - lacking coolness(?)
The way I see, the way I say - like a joke
OH MY GOD - you're like God, can destroy me
You're afraid of warmth, you're afraid of coldness - but more afraid of lonliness
You're afraid of being far, you're afraid of being close - but more afraid of cooling down(?)
You're afraid to laugh, you're afraid to cry - but you want fun
I'm afraid that I'd love you to the point that you heart loses interest
You're afraid to kiss, you're afraid to hug - but more afraid of seperating
You're afraid to blame, you're afraid to love - but you want love
You're afraid of this, you're afraid of that - but you want it to be great
You want this, you want that - but you're afraid to sigh(?)
OH MY GOD, you're like God,
Can give me light, but also makes me fall out of track
#The atmosphere is controlled by you,
the love is up to you to be wasted
Only care to love you for half my life, it's this good thing
Won't say if it's worthy Totally bent down to your power
Come as you like Hey Hey Hey Ordering loudly*#
All controlled by you, all methods given by you
Only care to love you for half my life, it's this good thing
Won't say if it's worthy Totally bent down to your power
Come as you like Hey Hey Hey Just shout out your orders
OH MY GOD You're like God,
Can give me light, but also makes me fall out of track
Drunk habitant
(The "piao ah piao ah piao.." song) - #05 in Printemps
One night I suddenly found out, that I'm only a roaming man
The so called 'warmth of returning home' -
it's only the long hair that once flew in my memory
The dim dim scar Drift and drift and drift
The warmth(?) of living drunk(?) Drift and drift and drift
Lovers everynight Drift and drift and drift
Slowly turning cold Drift and drift and drift
What you called 'wildness'- so it was only my lack of courage
If love has to be returned - I'd rather love and not care about it anymore
The bus-stop that flashed by Drift and drift and drift
The warmth far away Drift and drift and drift
Fragments of the memory Drift and drift and drift
Shifting around tiresomely Drift and drift and drift
One night I suddenly found out - I'm a person who wants to return home so much
With you missing me connecting the day and night
The melting snow in spring Drift and drift and drift
Hugging on the streets Drift and drift and drift
The strange language Drift and drift and drift
You say you can finally not cry to sleep at night
Accepting(?) is the language of the hometown
But the thing that locks me is a kind of untangled tenderness
The raindrops during the seperation Drift and drift and drift
The feeling of being all wet Drift and drift and drift
The blurry photo Drift and drift and drift
The faces of loving eachother Drift and drift and drift
Irene, your 'moot yau oi'!
Without Love
[Moot Yau Ngoi] Theme song of movie "Okinawa Rendez-vous"
Song #10 in album "Big Heat"
Without you, even sleeping is pointless
With you in my arms, forgotten my own body
Being able to feel frustrated because of you,
lets me know that giving out is better than receiving
Understanding how to be excited,
then I'd know that a fever is better than coldness
* Heart that is shaking, hands that were vibrating, you don't have
Can live how long, can love how long, you don't have
Showing off the beautiful eyes
but can't love to the bottom,
how to feel satisfied, or guilty?
* Without love, even sleeping is pointless
Forgot love, no point to love the body anymore
Can feel frustrated because of you,
lets me know that keep on adoring is better than ending
Understanding how to be excited,
then I know that, a painful heart is better than a relaxed heart**
Requested by Rani from Indonesia!
Red face white hair
[Hung Ngaan Bak Faat] Theme song of movie "Bride with white hair"
Song #9 in album "Adore"
Hate this life Blame this night
Who said that love is this hard?
Between love and hate Can't seperate
Red face white hair Feels even more splendid
Before and after Having it all in one night
Is this not counted as loving until our hair turns white?
Hope to believe Breaking up during the cuddling
Would decrease my guilt
If this life is missing this night
Who says that love is this hard?
Between love and hate Can't seperate
Red face white hair Feels even more splendid
Can't be burn through
Fire of love can't burn through
Hair all white
The following two songs for Lux from Thailand!
[Chum Muck Si Gum] Silence is gold
Written with Sam Hui.
The night wind blowing,
Alone looking back at the old times
It was me in the past, full of anger and frustration;
False blames and accusations
caused great feeling of unfairness to build up.
Cared a lot about rumours and responses.
Learned the lesson,
led by books and literatures,
now can see through it all, no longer locking up myself.
Feel that I know the way,
won't be as stupid as before.
Wipe away the tears, walk forward relaxed and smiling.
In fate it was already decided that you be rich or poor,
What is false will never be true; truth is always true;
Whatever you say, I be responsible for my own duties.
Always believed that silence is gold.
There is justice is what is right and wrong.
Careful in speaking so not to offend others.
When cold storms come up, don't take it too seriously.
Confidence fills the heart,
no need to care about sarcasm and questioning;
Let people laugh and condemn as they like,
live on as a cool and carefree person.
Young people, live on as a cool and carefree person.
Continue to walk on, live on as a cool and carefree person.
Bright star [Ming Sing]
Song #4 in album "Salute".
(By the way - both music and lyrics were written by Wong Jim!)
When you see the stars on the sky, do you think about me?
Would you remember my face in the old days,
which has smiled more than the stars for you.
When you remember the old times, what do you do then?
Would you sigh lightly, remembering me,
once shining in your heart?
I'm like the stars in the galaxy, loved silently for you.
Also let that soft light, soothen your pain.
When you see the bright stars, please think,
think about me.
When you see the galaxy shining sparkling,
please remember me in your heart.
for Shi Choon Ong. (sorry this is 2 months late!)
Will have luck sooner or later
[chi jong wui hang won] (Theme song of "Duke of Mount Deer" TV series 1985)
In terms of emotions, in terms of reasons,
No need to argue, also lazy to ask;
For others or for me, no need to distinguish,
Everything, being happy is the most important.
Smooth with fate, smooth with likes, laugh through half the life
joy would come close itself.
Naturally would go along with the world,
have confidence with myself.
When life ends, still there'd be great luck.
Like wind, also like a piece of cloud,
Happy to treat others with the happy face.
Let the sky lead me,
Go along with fate, search for dreams, joy is true.
Fits with emotions, fits the reasons,
Happy in the heart, fits with the heart,
just want to be a happy person.
Not yet upset, not yet complain, really self-confident,
when life ends, still there would be great luck.
Two songs for you again Stephan L!
Wind Continues to blow
1983, [fung gai juk chui]
I persuade you to go back earlier,
You say you don't want to go back,
Just told me to hold you in my arms.
The soft wind from the ocean blows lightly,
cooled down the fire.
I saw the sad you,
how do you expect me to be able to leave,
even your crying is beautiful.
How to stop the crying - can only softly kiss your hair,
let the wind continue to blow,
cannot bear to leave, wish very much in my heart,
that I can stay and be with you;
* The wind continues to blow, cannot bear to leave,
there're also tears in the heart,
don't want to look at you with tears.
How much happy memories in the past,
why not go chase them with you.
Have to wash away the melancholy and pain,
the sweet love and feelings I want to keep.
Have to hold back the goodbye tears,
not let them drop down.
Sadness like a lock, eyebrows tightened,
the goodbye-tears have to fall anyway.
* I've already made you happy,
You've also infatuated me;
You're already in my heart,
no need to ask anymore who I'm remembering.
Keep every drop of tears in the eyes..
but why are they still silently falling and falling..
why still silently falling and falling...
When the wind blows again
[Fung joi hei see] Final song of concert 89 and opening song of concert 97
I - turn around and look back at some year ago,
like a photo with faded colours, appearing in front of my eyes.
This - lost and confused young guy,
wished to use songs to fill everyday of his whole life, never change.
However the sounds of the wind from the path behind laugh at me,
however dark and hopeless I have also been through,
The song I loved most was eventually sang at the end,
no need to fight for any more.
* When the wind blows again,
silently this heart won't count and run anymore,
even if it means going back with my tears, I'm still willing to,
from the precious days, search for the poem in my heart.
When the wind blows again,
in the silent night thought about the support you gave me,
again hearing the cheers, expressing my thanks in tears.
Although farewell is said, there is still one thread of warmth.
I - floated and sank for more than 10 years,
sparkling in the starry sky, with confusion,
Please, before I leave, let me give you this song.
Someday in the future we meet again.
Please use enthusiastic applause to say farewell to me,
From now on, a pale [i.e.- simple and less excitment] life is also not bad.
Those warm hands can accompany me forever,
(Repeat *)
Still there is not one bit of regret.
For Irene from Malaysia, left right hand!
Left right hand
[Joh yau sau]
Don't know why you had to leave far away,
Don't know when I'll meet another one (partner) again,
My body and heart are only adapted to you, no strength to turn back.
Don't know why you had to let go,
Only know that I've got used to hugging you for too long,
afraid that my hands now losing you, will tremble in action.
Still remember, on the left-hand side a face of tenderness,
coming from your warmth, enjoying it next to the pillow.
Also remember, a begging face on that day,
shaking my right arm, and breaking up like that.
*From that day on I cannot tell apart front and back,
from that day on I mixed up left and right,
habbits have twisted, can't even open my mouth to breath,
you have left, but (your bits and pieces) have laid all over the place;
From that day on I fell in love with my left hand,
from that day on I hate my right hand,
why too weak to grab hold of even such a tiny bit of sparkle,
within the tall sky deep ocean, what is there that I can own? *
Making you stay, please don't leave,
but how can I remove these handcuffs on my left and right,
there is love but I cannot steal. **
Three songs for our Indonesian friend Mariyani! So sorry for the delay!
Four Seasons
[Chun Ha Chow Dung]
Autumn should be very good; if you were here
even though the autumn breeze is cool, it's still nice
You in deep autumn fill up my dreams,
like the falling leaves flying, lightly knocking on my window
Winter should be very good; if you were here
however grey the sky is, we're still glowing
sitting together and talk about our future activities,
ignoring the low temperature outside; singing like this
* Being able to meet up with you on this planet,
sparkle up this life, how lucky I am
Nobody stays on my mind like you
Never have I doubted again, this world is very great *
Summer days should be very good; if you were here
as hot as fire the sun burn on the face
burning the skin as love, very itchy
we being a sweating couple, singing while smiling *
Being able to meet up with you on this planet,
is a particular kind of fate; how thankful I feel
if we part, you still stay on my heart
I'd rather there be regret, still want to be far and close to you
Spring time should be very good; if you were here
the spring breeze as if there is love growing
You in early spring, provoke my imagination,
just as the young green grass making the spring rain smell good.
Red
[hung]
Red - as rose's result of being willful
Red - as darkly poisonous as dripping blood on the lips
That beautiful dream in the shadow, in the darkness
That set of pain one can't see in the mirror
You are like red dust blowing by -- heavily solemn.
Haa.... the heart(?) falling around messily
Haa.... sleeping in the wild fire
If I get drunk before even getting a taste
That heat has never decreased
You are - the most beautiful scar; perhaps
Red - as the glamour given out by the golden age
Red - as the rememberance of the sun setting furthur away
It's that smiling face of you flying away with me
If the life line on the palms of yours and mine
are as red dust flooding by -- beautifully sharp
Paper Boat
[Ji Suen] #3 in album "Salut" - Originally by Sam Hui
Passing by the sea I saw a paper boat
Being 10 thousand miles apart from my lover, my heart is secretly sad
She in the faraway place - her image comes up in my mind
How to have the missing feeling connected
Pick up the piece of paper and make a paper boat
Lightly put it on the water surface
Close the eyes, rest the heart and make a wish
As the boat quickly drifts far away
Hope the boat will fulfill this wish of mine
Even though the road is far and long it won't be tired
Go directly to her
Just wish to meet her once
If she finally sees the paper boat
Drifting around in the dreams a hundred, a thousand times
Hope she will treasure the meaning within
And together let the missing feeling be connected
Most Beloved, for Nadia.. : )
Most Beloved
[Jui Oi] #10 in album "Virgin Snow".
*If you will always be for this thread of love,
for having loved, will not change again
In this life, hoping only for a dream
all my life I only wanted (to have) your love
Together we have embraced, and held on to;
hoping that you will hold on and never let go
so tender, this slender hand
thousands threads of burning love immerse
(*repeat)
Ah...Ah...Ah....
Regretful are the remaining things that just won't rot away
the priceless smile; free and worriless like in the old days;
right or wrong, love or hate,
like a pond's ripple
I, who had been loved and injured
You, who had been loved and injured
Was for me and you to meet again,
only to seperate once more
Things needed to be said, however are forgetten
the one who I love the most
In this life I only have you
Forever I only have you
Things needed to be said, however are forgetten
the one who loves me the most
In this life I only have you
Forever I only have you
Love is this delicate
(speaks:) Didn't expect that you and I felt the same way.
"Little Star", Fabio's request:
Little star
[Siu ming sing] theme song of movie "The Kid"
Little star, flying along with you.
No need to give me what kind of legend.
Shining star, please give me light.
Come back and find the joy that I missed in the past.
Little bright star, compared with the prosperity
you will discover which one is worth not being left behind.
Little little bright star. However jewelled and shiny,
irreplacable are you in any way.
Little Star. Fly for me.
So bright that you don't need some kind of legend.
Shining star, how many centuries does it take
to understand that leisure is the ultimate blessing?
*Shooting stars fills the sky, compared to you,
reveals that all things will cease someday
Little little bright star. However jewelled and shiny,
can never replace you in any way.
(repeat *)
Little, little bright star, the unmade drama by the common man
is unforgettable to me.
"Me", for Daisies from Malaysia.
Me
[Ngoh] in album "big heat"
(cantonese version - #1)
I am what I am. I am me, such a special me.
Very thankful that there aren't only one kind of foot-prints on this earth.
God created men -- every kind, every style all had his permission.
I'm very thankful, standing on my roof living as a happy human being.
With my heart, telling the world what courage is.
*What am I? (I'm a miracle) Out of ten people there is only one of me.
In the vineyard, rings the water pixie's praising carol.
What am I? (I'm a miracle). I'm one out of ten thousand grains of sand.
Rocks are big... there are so many of them.
i'm very thankful, among all creations I'm living as a human being shamelessly.
Tell the world what courage is.
__________________
(mandarin version - #14)
I am what I am. I will forever love this "me".
Happiness is.... there isn't only one way to happiness.
The greatest thing is that, all are an honour to the creator.
No need to hide. Living for the kind of life that I like.
No need to paint or decorate. Just stand there at the bright corner.
*I am me. The fire light of a different colour.
Within the broad sky, broad ocean; I have to be the strongest bubble.
I like me. Let the roses blossom into a kind result.
Inside the lonely desert, still blossoming nakedly.
Living happily in the glass(?) house, telling the world,
what it is to be living in the light, shamelessly.
The following for Diane.. this is one song that I love too. :-)
Not afraid of lonliness
[But Pa Jik Mok] in the 80's.
("the early half of gor gor's life" collection album, disc 2, #08)
I will never be afraid of lonliness again.
Lonliness has already locked away the real me.
The joy and love in my heart are fading away. The love in the past
is burning me fiercely like fire.
The joy tonight is already finishing, now I alone face my shadow
difficult to find one who'd understand my heart.
From that day I searched for love in the wind, it was already bound to be wrong
Looking back, I realize completely how silly I was
Regrets are left with me; tiredness is left with me;
being sad for love
Look, everywhere is filled with lonliness.
So much pain and bitterness behind the lonliness;
give me all the pain and bitterness.
I continue to fall into the deep pit, fall into the hatred and sadness
actually cannot be overcome the sadness
cannot overcome...
only left with me... being sad.
"Starting from zero" for Tania in Indonesia:
Starting from zero
[Yau Ling Hoi Chi] in the 80's
#1 in "Leslie."
Memories are tangling my heart thousands of times..
Recalling (my memories) starting from zero, until tears drop
Thinking back from zero, all those joy and anger back then,
(the memories) cannot be swept away
However there is still no regrets. i just know that I'll continue moving forward.
*Out of the whole crowd, being able to meet you and know you
People just cannot move away from those joy and worries
People just cannot move away, because the sincerity has never changed
facing each other honestly
It was all because you were there giving blessings thousands, ten thousands times..
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
If my heart wants to go for another direction
leaving faraway temporarily, going afar to find that freedom and move forward
Someday in the future I'll put everything down
to search for the past's beautiful story
Even though, really, it is hard to let go...
WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
even though this is something (you're) reluctant (to face)
if you love me, I hope you can give me the chance to try once
If in the future you and me are to meet again,
it would still be the same old beautiful smiling faces
giving me those warm looks from the eyes a thousand times.
The following is clea's requests..to know what Lesile was saying in Passion Tour concert, before singing the song "Me".
Passion Tour concert CD:
[Disc Two - at the end of track 3 (Left-right hand), right before the song "Me"]
[after "Left-right hand" ended, Leslie:]
The following is one song in the new "Big Heat" album, that I composed myself.
This is one song that I worked together with the lyricist Lam Chik, who has been someone that really matched with me -
his thoughts, attitudes and directions, matched very much with mine.
Right now, I will have to give you all this song with emotions in my heart -
it is only one simple word: "me".
[starts singing "Me"]
The following, fan from Leyden, C-L's request:

07. Whole sky full of wind and rain

Inside the Salute album
(Inside the booklet, below the title of each song)
During childhood
a gift to all the lonely ones who're living abroad away from home,
do you miss home, do you miss your childhood?
Wish that humans would last long
The music and lyrics composing were a flawless combination
LO LO (Lo Koon Ting) and Shu Shum (Tong Shu Shum),
are really a match made in heaven!
Paper boat
Ah Sam who does the lyrics, music composition and singing altogether,
Super artist, Super friend, Super-man!
Bright star
Deanie, a very "low-profile" artist,
which is very hard to find in Hong Kong, I admire you!
On the other hand, Jimmy Wong.... what can I say!
Never knew
The first time listening to "never knew"
and the first time listening to "mo sum sui meen"(no heart for sleep)
the feelings were the same ---- very excited.
Sweating
Sensuality & sexuality!
Whole sky full of wind and rain
I love the "alive to be drunken, dreaming til death" kind of film,
and I also love the same style of songs!
This is love
Specially dedicated to Man Yee, Man Chung,
Ann ui, Fatt Jai, Teddy.
Love of snow'89
Everytime when I see white snow in countries where there're cold winters,
I'd remember this song, Lo Kwok Chim,
thanks for your lyrics!
Flowing like water
Such a Hei Doh Long! (music composer)
Such a Cheng Kwok Kong! (lyricist)
Such a Mui goo goo! (Anita Mui)
On the back of the album..
(in Leslie's handwriting)
On several sleepless nights, I began the preparation work for this album!
All along I've had this strong feeling, and this feeling most probably
is hiding deep inside the hearts of all the singers, who are just hoping that
they'll have a chance to perform some fabulous works of other singers'!
I have to admit that the production process of this album has been more
difficult compared to my other personal albums, the reason being that
there is the excellent original performance already existing ("the jewel at the front")!
But really I want to perform all these songs that I've always loved,
so what I can only do is to try my best to sing each song with all my heart!
Lastly, which is also the reason that this album comes into appearance,
is to have each re-perfomed piece dedicated to the original singers,
music composers, lyricists and editors as a gift, rewarding their hardworks
in the music industry, and it is also my personal SALUTE to them!
Leslie Cheung.

"Seung nei", for Mei in M'sia. Love this song..
Thinking of you
[Seung nei] #06 in Virgin Snow
Sitting idly for half the night, the coffee was already penetrated with coldness
Is it that my heart has already turned numb, is it missing your coldness
Hard to close my eyes. Coldness already fills the side next to the pillow
The night doesn't feel cold, but it feels like lying on a pool of mud
THe long and cold night,
the night breeze wants to blow away the coldness (in one's heart)
but my brain is soon flooded by a million sighs.
Lowering the eyes, repressing the tears about to fall from the eyes,
but then dust got blown in, making it very difficult for me.
*Without help, without hope, feeling helpless, I had once wanted to give up.
Repressing myself from blaming heaven and earth everyday
Loving words, loving feelings, the love path...
all have been gone through because of you
Leaving me behind in yesterday, living, but feels like dying.
Obssessed, like a circus performance,
like hope in the eyes of a clown
Willing to perform my skills with all my heart and effort, for I wanted you
But it's implying that the ending is going to be
pretty much obscure (i.e. "hopeless").
(Repeat *)
But it's implying that the ending is going to be pretty much obscure.
here you go again, clea!
Passion Tour Concert VCD/DVD:
What Leslie said before singing "me" (track#15)
[coming back out after the "encore!"s, wearing the white robe]
Really thanks...
Actually... what I want to say here is that...
the whole theme of all this is saying that..
for humans, the most important thing apart from knowing how to love others,
the most important is that you know how to admire yourself.
Two songs for Amylia in S'pore:
Lonely Night
[Jik Mok Yeh Maan] #8 in Final Encounter
Tear drops are making the eyes wet and blurry,
let the thousand threads of memories remain tangled to my heart
Want to turn around, but just can't help taking one more glance
Haven't asked you when your heart will turn cold
Looking at my upcoming road, long and lonely
Holding your two hands, sighing about the meetings and departings in life
Ah! Meeting up unexpectedly
there is no point shedding tears, crying in the wind
Ah! If have the fate to meet again
hope that the love wouldn't have receded a bit
* This one night of loneliness and dreariness
going back into the ordinary, goodbye to dreams
Hope that this be a worriless/cool farewell,
don't mention whether I can return?
the cycle of a thousands broken up nights
afraid that the unlimited deep love will gradually fade away
silently wipe off the tears
please value everything.
everything will be blown apart.
Love Like Magic
#03 in album Printemps
When you gave a light kiss on the tip of my nose,
it was like electromagnetic wave being amplified non-stop
I messed up your hair on purpose. You laughed like a blossoming flower.
LOVE LIKE MAGIC, DRIVE ME CRAZY
makes me fall into it so deep that I can't pull myself back out
LOVE LIKE MAGIC, MAKE ME HAPPY
always makes people become crazy
The sparkle that comes from everytime we hug,
it can almost melt the whole world
You ask me how tomorrow will be like; I say, just let it be.
Won't care about the costs when you fall in love,
the feelings right now are the most important eh.
Want to quiet down sometimes; but you're crying and crying like a kid
when you're done crying you lie in my arms, asleep like a baby.
Loong Boon Doh Ching, both Irene Wong and Yan asked for it! :-)
Once upon and ordinary girl
[Loong Boon Doh Ching] (TVB series "Once upon an ordinary girl" theme song)
(*note: "loong boon doh ching" itself is literally translated roughly into: "you are originally love-bound" or "you are naturally/originally/born to be a lover".)
(Yes, the name itself is difficult to translate enough!)
Love, is just like a chain of dreams
Once awaken, everything becomes emptiness.
Perhaps, it was just because that I was born to be a (unfaithful) lover
that's how I come to be tricked by love itself.
Chasing after the same dream with you
the dream disappears as time flows by.
Only when awakening from love, that we realize love is not to be
controlled by ourselves.
I desperately hope that I'll have the freedom to fly into the sky
I was too impulsive back then
If some day later I still come to remember you,
I should then believe that the love was planted deeply from the beginning.
Love, is just like a chain of dreams
the dream generated from one's mind
If your heart and mine are not the same,
then all the love in my life would've been given away in vain.
Two songs for Mary from the USA~
Passer-by, Dragonfly
[Loe Gwoh Ching Ting] (Untitled EP #1)
If you're unable to settle down for me,
then I'd rather we go through the wandering journey together
Not afraid to face this changeable life
If you don't have a joyful mood,
then come on and describe to me who owes you one
even though my heavy eyes are tired, will still listen to you
*Let me be a dragonfly passing by,
leaving behind some process that would be missed
Wasting away this cheap love of mine
It's my honour to let you be loved,
don't care if whoever complains that I'm provoking sympathy
even if you don't smilingly receive it,
still you don't have to be discouraging
# Crying - who am I trying to touch? (i.e. whose emotions am I trying
to stir by crying)
Smiling - is it for meeting up with who?
Looking at your eyes, provoking my tears
why (the tears) falling into the sewers (i.e. wasted)
Not hoping to touch (i.e.stir emotions) anyone. Just afraid that I'll
be more exhausted than you.
The love is yours, even if you don't kiss my lips,
what am I to cry about
(repeat *##)
The love is mine, if it is so worthless,
why would it be worthed any tears.
No mood to sleep
[Mo Sum Sui Meen] (from the 80's)
Melancholy dashing towards the cold sky
knocking down every little drop of rain
Opening the mouth like a lifesaving-hoop
Testing the sourness and sweetness of the rain
Rolling up the favourite cigarette
playing with the soft pad under the feet
Drunkenness and heart-brokeness mixed together becomes a cloudy mess
WO-OH-OH-OH, no mood to sleep
WO-OH-OH-OH, battling in the brain
Tapping my foot and missing the you in yesterday
The night is penetrated with the past, cannot wave away at all
If you're understanding, let me meet for once
And let me be embraced, feeling the warmth again
Melancholy dashing towards the cold sky
living inside my heart
After all only you can let the faded heart feel sweet once again
Melancholy dashing towards the cold sky!
For Victor from Kuala Lumpur: the classic Yau Sui Gong Ming!
Who is there to echo with me
[Yau Sui Gung Ming] from the 80's
[#01 in 89 Final Encounter concert Disc 2 (first song in the medley]
Lifting my head, seeing the starry night sky filled with silence
walking alone; the night rain gradually stopping
speechlessness is due to this moment's calmness
smiling ask: who can I open my heart to (and who will open his heart to me)
the wind is fast, also fresh; telling that changes are always unstable
Don't believe in fate. Just believe in using two hands to work hard.
contradictory is the fact that I have no strength to stop
will anyone know that my heart is all filled with tiredness
in the mist of the quiet night, who is to echo with me?
before, I was naive and impulsive
loved freedom, maybe even to the point of losing hold
understand that the gainings and losings are all fixed (by fate)
whether staying or leaving - take it easy
trembling in lonliness, anyone realize that this makes me feel terrible
who would be willing to lose freedom?
want to back off; inside my heart I'm satisfied with what I already have
if I move forward, will still search with all my effort
the wind is also fresh, under the night sky I ask the stars:
in this quiet night, who is there to echo with me?
Two mandarin songs from Printemps, for Irene Wong again! : )
Truth
[zhen xiang] #6 in album Printemps
I ought to suffer for love alone, my faults are worth the punishment
I was cruel to you; you eventually will wake up from your dream,
it's not worth it. Memories of the past sinking into the night,
the completeness of love - so it is not about balance
Only for love, leaves you with no choice;
as long as there's still possibility, will still bear through whatever toughness
You were supposed to have left long ago; i was supposed to have learned long ago
My heart hurts until crazy as I think of you;
the late night is burning of flirtation;
I now understand my own sadness;
the truth of love is also everlasting
Love finally left; I finally woke up;
facing the truth that I love you; have hurted you until you lost all hope
I can't repay even with all my life
the past that you had loved, and the hopes inside my heart.
Being loved
[bei ai] (mandarin version of "All these years")
#10 in album Printemps
With my breath, with my body, with my life,
I can only love you so much
breathing your air; for you I found my own name;
Remembered you, been through you, felt you,
I gave up the effort of trying to get away from you
Love is really so vulnerable,
but it was the only source where I originated from
Being chased around by the dark night,
being burnt into fire by loneliness,
I had never been so desperately thristing
to exist inside your memories
that's the only way I will feel that I live
I, being loved with a sincere heart,
being spolied by your love,
I regained my freedom in the faintly-lit sky
your body warmth filled my heart,
it's like coming back to the moment where life began
Farewell my concubine.. *sigh*.. sad words, sad story, sad feelings... : (
Farewell my Concubine
[Dang ai yi cheng wang shi] Theme song for movie "Farewell my concubine"
#05 in album "Adore"
(*the song name "dang ai yi cheng wang shi" literally means:
"when love already becomes a thing in the past")
Don't mention the past anymore. There're already too many storms in life.
Memories couldn't be wiped away; the love and hate are still in the heart
Really have to cut the past, and let tomorrow go on finely
So you should stop trying so hard to find out my whereabouts
Love is a difficult question, it makes one dizzy and mesmorized
Forgetting the pain is perhaps possible, but forgetting you - that's too hard
You haven't truly left, you have always been inside my heart
I still have loving feelings towards you,
I'm so helpless with myself.
*Because I still have dreams. I still place you inside my heart.
Always have to be so easily being moved by things in the past,
my heart always have to ache for you.
Don't wander around in the years of the past,
I unintentionally became all tenderly sentimental
Do not ask me if we are to meet again
do not question if I'm speaking my true feelings or not
Why don't you understand? Where there is love, there will be pain
Someday you'll realize that, life isn't so different without me after all
Life is already to rushy; I'm so afraid that it always has to be filled with tears
Forget me, then there will be no more pain
Leave the past in the wind.
For CB from Malaysia..
Go through together
[Gung Tung Doe Gwoh] from 80's. (Also= last song sung at Passion Tour concert)
Lowered my eyes, switched off the lights
looking back at this life of mine
seeing that day, today, however many changes
you still insisted to walk with me
There was once on my day of sadness
when I asked why I was alive at all
But you made me lift the darkness
to face life bravely
If I could live one more time, a thousand more times
I wish that you're still the one I face in front of me
I want the next life to carry the warmness of this life as well
*There isn't anything that I can give you
but wish that I could use this song
to thankyou for being there in times of storms
not backing off, being willing to accompany me
A temporary farewell to you today
but wish that I can live in your heart by this fire of love
so that even when seperated,
we still feel as if we're going through it together
For Ellen, Wei Ni Zhong Qing!
Wei Ni Zhong Qing
[Meaning: "Falling in love for you"] from 80's
Falling in love for you, pouring out the most sincerity of mine
please keep and cherish this love
never have I told my secrets to anyone
this is the first time in my life, pouring out all the words of my heart
Hope that you agree, to let me prove
that at this moment the strings of our hearts echo with each other
and then tell other people, make our love public
using that golden ring as a proof
*Giving me one word, that you finally will accept
From now on you share my last name
Say to me, "I do, i do"
that you're willing to make me happy this whole life
Falling in love for you, pouring out the most sincerity of mine
please keep and cherish this love
And then in a hundred years, until the end of your life
use this sincere heart and delicate love as evidence
