下一站天后 [Next station Queen / Sky Queen] - Twins, Charlene Choi A-Sa 蔡卓妍 {Cantonese 03}

This song was the theme song for a movie, 下一站…天后 Diva... Ah Hey in which a girl dreamed to be a singer, but was rejected due to her looks. The phase “天后” have two meaning, one is “Tin Hau”, a place in Hong Kong, the other means “Sky queen” (a goddess in Chinese legend). While the lyrics plays with the idea of both meaning, I would guess that in this context, it would take the later meaning, as it is also a phase that used to describe a very popular singer (i.e. singing queen). So as such, the direct English translation of the title is “Next station Queen”.

Standing at the front of Daimaru (a department store from Japan. There is a branch in Hong Kong, and it was a famous landmark), 
carefully looking through my road. 
The next station, to be queen,
 that would be great.
But during the glamorous road of being a star,
 if I am suddenly scared of heights, 
would he still hug me from my back? 

The couple at Paterson street (a street in Hong Kong), 
they show their pride on their face. 
Allowing me to sing freely on the stage, 
it may not be the best as the fame would be like bobble (i.e. it will easily disappear). 

Even if I have my concert, 
and someone wanted to sing, 
he still can’t get to the venue. 

Still felt that I wasted my life, 
if I don’t love, how could I sing? 
No matter how many love songs there is for me to sing, 
it will still be a stretch. 
How will I shine? 
It is still very different that singing tenderly to the ears of my love one. 
Flying in my daydream, 
it is not too far, not too abstract. 

Later I become the queen, 
become the bride, 
both are my dream. 

At the square of time, 
everyone will get an award. 
If I don’t have any fans, I will have him to admire me. 

No matter how many love songs there is for me to sing, 
it will still be a stretch. 
How will I shine? 

It is still very different that singing tenderly to the ears of my love one. 
Really, my biggest dream is to follow him home and sing for him.
