我只在乎你 [I Only Care About You] - Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 {Mandarin 79}

If I didn't meet you
Where would I be?
How would the days go by?
Would I treasure life?
Would I know someone?
Would my days be ordinary?
I don't know if there would also be
a love sweet like honey
Let the time fly away.
I only care about you.
I'm willing to be influenced by the way you are.
How many times in our lives can we find a close friend?
Even losing my life's strength would not be a pity.
So I beg you,
Don't let me leave you.
I love no one else but you.
If one day you said that you were leaving
I would be lost...
Walking in the crowd
I don't want any promises.
I just want to be together every day.
I can't just depend on pieces of memories.
Let the time fly away.
I only care about you.
I'm willing to be influenced by the way you are.
How many times in our lives can we find a close friend?
Even losing my life's strength would not be a pity.
So I beg you,
Don't let me leave you.
I love no one else but you.
Let the time fly away.
I only care about you.
I'm willing to be influenced by the way you are.
How many times in our lives can we find a close friend?
Even losing my life's strength would not be a pity.
So I beg you,
Don't let me leave you.
I love no one else but you.

償還/偿还 [Paying me back] - Faye Wong 王菲, Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 {Cantonese 79}

My silent lips still have traces of tears
That is not some scar which can be concealed by makeup
My heart is broken, how much love has it lost
You lied that you'd make it up and used paying me back as an excuse, but I won't take it for granted
**
Love is a journey of the heart, it can only allow us two
I won't go on my own, nor should there be three people
You're free to find new love and leave no trace
But don't use paying me back as an excuse to hurt me again
My eyes are reddened by tears
How much time do I need to forget that past love
My fragile heart still has the hurts you left
You lied that you'd make it up and used paying me back as an excuse, but how can I ever believe
Love is a journey of the heart, I once promised to let you lead the way
The only problem is that I gave too much love, I won't complain that you're heartless
I have once listened to your confession patiently
And I have heard of your own trouble
Please don't use paying me back as an excuse to hurt my pride

但願人長久 [May we all be Blessed with Longevity] - Faye Wong 王菲 {Mandarin 79, 95}

The lyrics of this song is from the beautiful poem "Remembering Su Che (his younger brother) on the Mid-Autumn Festival" by Song dynasty poet Su Shi (1037-1101). The poem was written in the Cí(詞) style. Cí(詞) was one of the literary genres that were unique to the Song dynasty (960-1279), and could be sung to melody.
When will the moon be clear and bright?
With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.
In the heavens on this night,
I wonder what season it would be?

*(I'd like to ride the wind to fly home.
Yet I fear the crystal and jade mansions
are much too high and cold for me.

Dancing with my moonlit shadow,
It does not seem like the human world.
The moon rounds the red mansion,
Stoops to silk-pad doors,
Shines upon the sleepless,
Bearing no grudge,
Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart?

People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart,
The moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane,
This imperfection has been going on since the beginning of time.
May we all be blessed with longevity,
Though thousand miles apart we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together.)*


獅子山下 羅文 [A Song Of Hong Kong People / The Lion Rock] - Roman Tam 羅文 {Cantonese 79}

In life we are sometimes glad
But we'll also be sad
We together have met under the lion rock
Our joy is counted more than singing

In life there is rugged
Can't be without worries
on the same boat in Hong Kong we each help each other
Dump our difference seek for ways
Release those conflicts in our mind
Ideals chase together
Swear to stay with always
Be Brave Without fear

As we live in Hong Kong
With Hands to Overcome
We together used hard wworks to have written those
Hong Kong Immortal words

Release those conflicts in our mind
Ideals chase together
Swear to stay with always
Be brave without fear

As we live in Hong Kong
With Hands to Overcome
We together used hard wworks to have written those
Hong Kong Immortal words

我只在乎你 [I only care about you] - Teresa Teng 鄧麗君 {Mandarin 79}

Verse 1 
If I had never met you, 
I wonder what I would have been doing in life. 
I might have lived a ordinary life, loving someone ordinary. 
I will just leave myself to the flow of time, 
And be colored by your hues. 
Even this one life, I don't mind throwing it away. 
So I beg you, let me stay by your side, 
As right now, I can love no one except you.

Verse 2 
If you stop loving me one day, 
There won't be another "tomorrow". 
I don't need any promises, But then I can't live on memories alone. 
I will just leave myself to the flow of time, 
and snuggle right into your heart. 
Just be beautiful there and then, I won't need my life any more. 
So I beg you, let me stay by your side, 
As right now, I can see nothing except you. 
repeat chorus #1
