絕戀 [Unrequited love] - Cherrie Choi 蔡立兒 {Cantonese}

The song "絕戀" by 蔡立兒 tells a story of heartbreak and longing. The lyrics reflect the emotions of someone who is missing a past love and contemplating the memories they shared. The first verse begins with the image of a person feeling sad and heartbroken in the dusk, with memories of their past love flooding back to them. The lyrics suggest that even though they have separated from each other, the person is still in love with their past partner and finds comfort in the memories they have shared together.

The second verse talks about the imagery of being left alone in a dimly lit room, with the rain outside serving as a metaphor for the emptiness and loneliness that the person feels inside. The lyrics suggest that the person longs to meet their past love again, even if it's just for a moment. The chorus emphasizes this desire to see their past love again, even if it's in their dreams or in old photos. 

人在暮色心交悴
Amidst the evening's darkness, I feel weary and heartbroken

戀愛字句共那歌曲都會一一的記取
Every lyric of love and song is ingrained in my mind

歌曲再重提心碎 分開了仍然心醉
Hearing the song again brings back the heartache, even though we're separated

但是幾多真愛今天竟告吹
But how many true loves have ended like this today?

留在舊屋燈光裡冰
Staying in an old house, the lights are cold

冷夜雨陪著歌曲彷似空空的廢墟
The rain on a cold night with the song feels like being in an empty ruin

星光引路隨風去 只要同渡百千歲
Guided by starlight, I hope we can stay together for eternity

未料此刻演變絕唱的字句
Unexpectedly, the lyrics have become those of a final performance

常在霧裡燈孤單靠在墓前看著你的名字
I often stand alone in the mist, looking at your name on a tombstone

假使再共你相見只得冰冷舊照片
If we meet again, it will only be through cold old photographs

他朝再夢裡相見也是仍舊那麼遠
Even if we meet again in a dream, it will still feel like we're far apart

但願天邊海角復見心未變
I hope that no matter how far we are, our hearts will remain unchanged until we meet again

沿在夜深的思緒
My thoughts and memories run deep into the night

總愛自醉人在不知不覺心中想再追
I often find myself lost in thoughts and memories, wondering if we can be together again

追憶似寒夜飛絮 當天愛隨時光去
Memories are like snowflakes on a cold night, reminding me that our love has passed with time

夜靜深宵等你歸家返故居
In the deep silence of the night, I wait for you to return home to our old house

誰在夜色早飄去
Who has already drifted away in the night?

轉眼逝去寧願當天跟你一生早暗許
Time has passed quickly, and I wish to go back to the past to promise to love you for a lifetime

假使愛長存心裡 假使我共你相距
If our love remains in our hearts even with distance between u

就讓呼呼風雨問我怎面對
Let the wind and rain test me on how I can handle it

假使愛長存心裡 假使我共你相距
If our love remains in our hearts even with distance between us

就是天邊海角亦會等下去
I will wait for you no matter how far we are

藕斷絲連 [Root Broken Thread Remains] - Andy Lau 劉德華 {Cantonese}

With the past, the only thing left is an old face
That old appearance never the less will naturally change with time
The hollowness in my heart
has left a bit of joy at a distant place
Enstrangled unceasingly for half a lifetime
can only blame myself for letting the opportunity escaped
To forget then again remember
only causes the grief to increase

[Chorus]
The more one's lonely, the more one reminisces
I think of revisiting the past, but quickly abandon the idea
These trembling, restless hands of mine
dully extinguished the cigarette
If reunited again one day
I'm confince that again there will be grievances and obsession
Who'd want the root to break
when it is the thread that holds together this love?

[Chorus 2]
A loud cry in the air
represents my desolation
In the violet rain, a hug
makes my heart more confused
Reality is difficult to anticipate
I'd ratehr she gives up the past's fragments
Even if we meet again
and even if sparks fly again
I will pretend to not be attached (pretend not to miss her)

Chorus
Chorus 2
Chorus 2

雨過天陰 (Rain Has Passed) - Kay Tse 謝安琪 {Cantonese}

Meeting you now feels like an electric shock .
A few years later, I bumped into you
at a close friend's wedding banquet
just like the face on the day of the Korean drama.
Today, it seems familiar but uneasy and friendly.
It's especially weird.
After chatting, I feel at a loss and my hands are trembling

[Chorus]
After the heavy rain, it will be sunny
It’s just the same old empty words. It’s just empty talk. 

It’s meant to make you ignore each other since the last quarrel.
The relationship has been put on the back burner.
If the story of that day repeats itself, you may be lucky
to be annoyed and depressed. 

We have organized a wedding banquet
earlier. 

I want to speak but there is a lot of inconvenience and I am afraid of embarrassment. 

I can’t bear to look away from each other when we are face to face . 

It’s like we are reminiscing about yesterday. 

Unfortunately, after time has passed, 

we each have our own new discoveries. 

The two of us understand each other. 

We have to disperse after the game, 

maybe we won’t meet again

Sunny days come after the heavy rain.
It’s a cliche that aims to make
you ignore each other since the last quarrel.
The relationship will quickly run aground.
If the story of that day repeats itself
and makes you angry and calm, 

you may be lucky enough to have organized a wedding feast earlier. 

There is no waiting for the sun to shine after the rain. 

The fire in my heart has not been extinguished. 

I have said goodbye. 

Looking back at that day, the threads that cannot be returned have been intertwined. 

I am so shy today. If the story of that day repeats itself , let’s lower our spirits for the time being . 

You may be lucky enough to share this memory in your later years.

男人信什麼 [What does a man believe?] - Janice Vidal 衛蘭 {Cantonese}

Even if we don’t see each other again, we can’t take a step back
Doesn't he know my temper? 
It doesn't matter who is right or wrong.
I have no responsibility to be good to him, 
I have no worries and I am too lazy to worry.
I miss wrestling and bickering without getting bored, and worry only when I don’t have worries.

If you don't ask for peace on your own, 

even if you know you're wrong, 

you can't help but be resigned to it.

Whoever finds him first can say anything.

Why is it so difficult to deceive everyone? 

I want it to be easier for my lover to not be able to see through me.

In fact, I ask myself that emotions are elusive

It’s too difficult to deceive myself. 

I can’t believe it. 

Sometimes even my intentions are wrong.

It's hard to explain clearly at once whether people love or hate. 

It's hard to guarantee that I am who I am.

Even if we can't be together anymore, 

I can't abuse it, 

I'm sorry

In fact, I am willing to swallow my anger, 

but I am afraid of being looked down upon.

You can't make your partner happy, who has no taste?

In fact, I was too afraid of being abandoned by him, 

so I encouraged me to try my best.

How difficult is it to deceive everyone? 

I want to feel better. 

I want to appear that I am not afraid of anyone.

No need to care too much about what he can give me

It’s too difficult to deceive myself. I can’t believe it. 

It’s as if I haven’t exposed myself.

What else can you hide in front of your lover? 

What do men want to believe?

If you treat me sincerely, who can bear to see through me?

七里香 [Common Jasmine Orange] - Jay Chou 周杰倫 {Mandarin}

 

The sparrow outside the window

Has a big mouth on the wire pole

You said this sentence

Has very much the feeling of summer

The pencil in my hand

Moves back and forth on the paper

I use a few lines of words to describe who you are to me

 

The taste of sanma

The cat and you both want to understand

The fragrance of first love is retrieved by us just like this

That warm sunshine

Is like the just picked bright strawberry

You say you are not willing to eat this kind of feeling

 

Rain falls for the whole night

My love overflows like the rain

Leaves fall in the courtyard

With my thoughts one thick pile

A few words of gossip

There is no way it can cool off my passion

You appear in every page of my poem

 

Rain falls for the whole night

My love overflows like the rain

The butterfly on the windowsill

Is like the beautiful chapters fluttering about in the poem

I then write

I write I always love you into the end of the poem

You are the only understanding I want

 

That which is full of ears of the rice plant

Blessed this season

And your cheek is like the thoroughly ripe tomato in the field

You suddenly say to me

The name of the Common Jasmin Orange is very beautiful

Yet this moment I only wanted to kiss your stubborn lips

 

Rain falls for the whole night

My love overflows like the rain

Leaves fall in the courtyard

With my thoughts one thick pile

A few words of gossip

There is no way it can cool off my passion

You appear in every page of my poem

 

Rain falls for the whole night

My love overflows like the rain

Leaves fall in the courtyard

With my thoughts one thick pile

A few words of gossip

There is no way it can cool off my passion

You appear in every page of my poem

 

Rain falls for the whole night

My love overflows like the rain

The butterfly on the windowsill

Is like the beautiful chapters fluttering about in the poem

I then write

I write I always love you into the end of the poem

You are the only understanding I want

開學禮 [School Opening Ceremony] - Hacken Lee 李克勤 {Cantonese}

Every student, finding one another; this is your school opening ceremony
Looking forward, and imagine how beautiful to wear a graduation cap
First pay up in memorable lessons, in hopes to mature respectfully next year
Tomorrow will always be a new semester, semester for life
Keep learning, no matter the cost
What you've learnt, at least empowers your confidence
Knowledge you recited, might comes in handy in challenges one day
At least you know what you don't understand
 
Guess love is the only subject, that has no standardized textbooks
It takes human's endless practice; learning to express and receive love
Keeping each other company, and there comes authenticity
 
Every student, finding one another; this is your school opening ceremony
If you find hardship, and still chooses not to cheat in life
In thorning difficulties, still finishing education; but holding morals elegantly too
Your lessons learnt would be of good aids when you graduate
 
Guess love is the only subject, that has no standardized textbooks
It takes human's endless practice; learning to express and receive love
Keeping each other company, and there comes authenticity
 
Never defrauding in thousands of hardships, sufferings forges virtues
Therefore it's said that in human lives, fate is unpredictable
But it matures you, and nurtures your wit
 
Every student, finding one another; this is your school opening ceremony
Looking forward, and imagine how beautiful to wear a graduation cap
First pay up in memorable lessons, in hopes to mature respectfully next year
Tomorrow will always be a new semester, semester for life
 
Every student, finding one another; this is your school opening ceremony
Looking forward, and imagine how beautiful to wear a graduation cap
First pay up in memorable lessons, in hopes to mature respectfully next year
Tomorrow will always be a new semester, semester for life

你瞞我瞞 [From The First Take] - Jason Chan 陳柏宇 {Cantonese}

The purpose of dating seems to be sharing meals
But don't ever mention the problems

If this is romance, why do I feel like we're going to break up soon
You have cried, but your eyes are sparkling more beautifully

Whose lover am I, you are always you
Smile and look at each other in silence, 
laughing is sadder than crying
No matter how happy you frown
Even if I hold you tightly
But you and I can be separated with two arms
 
Wordless kisses invade my heart
I'd rather tell myself that you're tired
If in your heart, beside me
Lives one more person
You hide it from me
I also hide it from myself, a perfect match
 
This is love, the coldness scares me
Apart from being busy recently, how much do I actually know
If you want to cry, why not cry
It's better for us to quarrel
Better than holding me without laughter
 
Wordless kisses invade my heart
I'd rather tell myself that you're tired
If in your heart, beside me
Lives one more person
You hide it from me
I also hide it from myself, a perfect match
 
What is such a lonely love
Wrap me with your fingertips, escape from me with kisses
 
Wordless kisses invade my heart
I'd rather tell myself that you're tired
If in your heart, beside me
Lives one more person
You hide it from me
I also hide it from myself, a perfect match

何故何苦何必 [Why Bother Why?] - Angela Pang 彭家麗 {Cantonese}

There is no reason to be considerate

and say goodbye. There is no need for twists and turns.

Why Bother?

It will always hurt. In the end, there is no difference. 

Come on, tell me. Please tell me directly.

Love ends early.

Why can't you be free and easy

Why bother? Why?

should I be grateful for your care? 

I'm afraid that I will be too kind

every time. The words still contain an apology.

If you want to leave, don’t embellish

it too much. Come on, come on, come on.

Say it with determination. Break up with a farewell kiss.

Be willing not to go. Ask again. Why didn’t it happen? It will always happen

If you want to leave, don’t be too bitter.

Come on, come on. Come on, say goodbye

to the pain of love.

My heart is speechless and bleeding. 

I really want this break to untie the knot of love in my heart. 

It is obvious that love will end early.

Why can't you be free and easy

Why bother? Why be grateful for your care? I'm afraid of making me too kind.

Every sentence still contains an apology.

If you want to go, don’t be too embellishment,

come on, come on, come on,

say goodbye, say goodbye, kiss,

be willing not to go, ask again, why didn’t it happen, it will always happen,

if you want to go, don’t be too bitter, come

on, come on, come on, say goodbye

love. In pain, my heart is speechless and bleeding

I really want this break to untie the knot of love in my heart.

If you want to leave, don’t embellish too much. Come

on, come on, come on. Determined

to say a word and share a passionate kiss.

I'm willing not to go and ask again if it didn't happen, why it will always happen.

If you want to leave, don't be too bitter.

Come on, come on, come on. Say goodbye

to the pain of love. My heart is speechless and bleeding.

I really want to break up this time

to untie the knot of love in my heart.

If you want to leave, Don't embellish too much

come on, come on, determined

to love, it hurts,

my heart is speechless and bleeding, I really want to break up this time to untie the knot of love in my heart,

for no reason, to be considerate and say goodbye,

no need to be ironic.
